Why did macaroni rats tear down their homes?

The reason why macaroni mice tear down their homes is because it is a habit of communicating with mice.

Extended data:

Macaroni rats generally refer to North African fat-tailed gerbils. North African fat-tailed gerbil, body length10-13cm; The tail is 5 cm long and will store food and water at the tail, just like a camel stores food and water on a hump. Therefore, a healthy North African fat-tailed gerbil should have a complete tail.

North African fat-tailed gerbils are used to high temperature and relatively dry environment, but because they are nocturnal, foraging at night, and the air humidity is high, they should put a small pot when feeding to replenish water when feeding. North African fat-tailed gerbils also love cleanliness and spend a lot of time washing their faces and combing their hair every day. You can buy a totoro bath sand and pour it in another container to clean and comb them. In addition, North African fat-tailed gerbils rarely pee, and urine has no pungent taste.

North African fat-tailed gerbils are very cute, but they not only look like hamsters, but also behave like hamsters. Curiosity is the most attractive place for Mongolian gerbils, while North African fat-tailed gerbils are completely lacking in curiosity. Put them in the palm of your hand, they just sit there, have no interest in their new environment, and will not try to escape.

The nest of North African fat-tailed gerbils is very similar to that of Mongolian gerbils. I used a 24-gallon fish tank to hold two North African fat-tailed gerbils. Like my gerbil, I made a fixed tunnel and a big jar, which was covered with a thick layer of sawdust. North African fat-tailed gerbils seem to appreciate this arrangement. They regard the largest pot underground as a nest. Whether underground or on the ground, North African fat-tailed gerbils always cover the entrance and exit of their sleeping place very carefully. This kind of vigilant behavior is not without Mongolian gerbils. Just like its cousin Mongolian gerbil, North African fat-tailed gerbil is also an outstanding digger, so using deep sawdust is the reason.
