[0002] Tree shrew farming refers to the process of artificially raising and managing tree shrews, a small mammal that belongs to the order Shrews in taxonomy. Tree shrews are small mammals between the orders Primates and Insectivora. They are squirrel-like with a long snout. During the farming process, a feces collection device is required.

[0003] When existing feces collection devices are in use, the capacity of the feces collection devices is usually limited and cannot be cleaned in time, which may cause feces to accumulate and ferment, produce odor and harmful gases, and pose a threat to the health of tree shrews.

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the prior art (application number: 201820406211.9, Chinese patent application date: March 23, 2018) discloses an experimental four-season tree shrew breeding cage. The four-season tree shrew breeding cage overcomes the negative impact caused by problems such as weather changes encountered during the tree shrew breeding process and improves the breeding environment of the tree shrews.

[0005] Although the existing technology can solve the problem of collecting and cleaning feces, in actual use, when cleaning or replacement is required, it may be necessary to pull the second handle and slide the second slide rail. This process may be cumbersome, especially when the space inside the cage is limited or it is inconvenient for the breeder to operate. As a result, the feces cannot be effectively collected, cleaned and replaced in a unified manner. In addition, the four-season tree shrew breeding cage is not equipped with an automatic feeding structure, which cannot attract the tree shrews, reducing the efficiency of defecation and feces collection.

[0006] Therefore, we proposed a feces collection device for tree shrew breeding, which can well solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
