In their natural habitat, these animals usually breed once a year, although one species breeds continually throughout the year under good conditions.

The species likes lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, pea pods, pears, apples, oranges, peaches, etc. Also, pay attention to such keeping requirements as a roomy cage, fresh water, and regular veterinary care.
