A scraper 17 is slidably connected inside the manure collecting trough 12, and the outer side of the scraper 17 is in contact with the inside of the manure collecting trough 12.

[0030] The inner sides of the tops of the two fixed rods 1 are fixedly connected with equally spaced curved rods 4 , and the curved rods 4 , the vertical rods 2 and the horizontal rods 3 form a cage with each other.

[0031] The middle of the curved rod 4 is provided with a bend toward the inside of the cage, and the evenly distributed bends form a mounting groove 5, inside which two symmetrically distributed fixing rings 6 are fixedly connected, and inside the fixing ring 6 are three annular elastic baffles 7 evenly distributed.

[0032] A feeding bottle 9 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 5, and a positioning block 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the feeding bottle 9, and a discharge pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning block 10 away from the feeding bottle 9. The positioning block 10 is snap-connected to the inside of the fixing ring 6, and the discharge pipe 11 extends to the inside of the cage.

[0033] A cage door 8 is hinged on the inner side of the fixed rod 1 , and one end of the cage door 8 away from the fixed rod 1 is snap-connected to the other end of the curved rod 4 away from the fixed rod 1 .

[0034] A discharge outlet 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the manure collecting trough 12, and the discharge outlet 13 is communicated with the inside of the manure collecting trough 12, and hooks 20 are fixedly connected on both sides of one end of the manure collecting trough 12 close to the discharge outlet 13, and a pull ring 14 is slidably connected to the top of the manure collecting trough 12, and the two ends of the top of the manure collecting trough 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the two fixed rods 1, and the pull ring 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the two fixed rods 1.

[0035] A handle 15 is provided at one end of the pull ring 14, and a slide bar 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull ring 14 away from the handle 15, and the bottom of the slide bar 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the scraper. Slide holes 18 are equidistantly distributed inside the slide bar 16, and the slide holes 18 are slidably connected to the bottom of the cross bar 3. Slide blocks 19 are fixedly connected to both ends of the slide bar 16, and the slide blocks 19 are slidably connected to both sides of the top of the manure collecting trough 12.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on the first embodiment, the specific working principle is as follows:

[0038] The tree shrew breeding cage is convenient for collecting feces. The cage door 8 is rotated to rotate inside the fixed rod 1 until the cage door 8 is open. Figure 3 In the state shown, the curved rod 4, the vertical rod 2 and the horizontal rod 3 form a cage in an open state, and the tree shrew is placed inside the cage through the opening formed by the cage door 8 for breeding. When the tree shrew is inside the cage, the cage door 8 is closed, so that the cage is sealed by the cage door 8;

[0039] When feeding the tree shrew, first fill the feeding bottle 9 with food or water, and then install the filled feeding bottle 9 in the mounting groove 5, so that the positioning block 10 is engaged with the interior of the fixing ring 6, and at the same time, the discharge pipe 11 will extend from between the multiple elastic baffles 7 to the inside of the cage. When the feeding bottle 9 is separated from the interior of the mounting groove 5, the positioning block 10 will separate from the fixing ring 6, and at the same time, the discharge pipe 11 will move from the inside of the fixing ring 6 to the outside of the cage. When the discharge pipe 11 is separated from the inside of the cage, due to the elasticity of the elastic baffle 7, the elastic baffle 7 will return to its original state, thereby sealing the fixing ring 6, so that when the feeding bottle 9 needs to be taken out to add food, the cage still maintains a sealed environment;

[0040] When the tree shrew is raised inside the cage, the feces of the tree shrew will fall to the bottom of the cage, and the feces will fall into the feces collecting trough 12 from the gap inside the cage. The feces will be collected by the feces collecting trough 12. When the feces inside the feces collecting trough 12 reaches a certain amount, the handle 15 is pulled to drive the pull ring 14 to slide on the outside of the fixed rod 1, so that the pull ring 14 drives the slide bar 16 and the scraper 17 to move. At this time, the scraper 17 will slide inside the feces collecting trough 12, and the scraper 17 will scrape the feces inside the feces collecting trough 12 and discharge the feces inside the feces collecting trough 12 through the discharge port 13;

[0041] As the slide bar 16 slides, the slide bar 16 slides on the bottom of the cage through the slide hole 18. Since some feces remain on the bottom of the cage, as the slide bar 16 slides on the bottom of the cross bar 3, the slide hole 18 slides on the outside of the cross bar 3 forming the bottom of the cage, thereby scraping off the feces remaining on the cross bar 3 and cleaning the cross bar 3 forming the bottom of the cage. The collection bag can be fixed by two hooks 20 so that the opening of the collection bag is aligned with the discharge port 13, which is convenient for collecting feces.
