A critical factor affecting the dietary requirements of captive Dasyprocta species is their previous classification as a frugivore when there is evidence that supports classification as an omnivore. Other factors relevant to feeding captive Dasyprocta include the gastrointestinal tract anatomy, endogenous ascorbic acid, scatter-hoarding behavior, metabolic rate, apparent dietary requirements, life stage nutrition, diabetes, and dental caries and pathology. This article presents information currently available in the literature relevant to the dietary needs of captive Dasyprocta species.
影响圈养鬃鼠属物种饮食需求的一个关键因素是,尽管有证据支持将其分类为杂食动物,但它们之前被归类为食果动物。与圈养鬃鼠属物种的饲养相关的其他因素包括胃肠道解剖结构、内源性抗坏血酸、分散贮藏行为、代谢率、表观饮食需求、生命阶段营养、糖尿病以及龋齿和病理学。本文介绍了目前文献中有关圈养鬃鼠属物种饮食需求的可用信息。
