How do you keep a shrew as a pet?

Answer 1

I would search state law about that. But, if you want, here's how to care for a pet shrew. First, do you know where you are going to get a shrew? You can catch wild ones with a havahart trap. They will eat insects such as worms, meal worms, crickets, grasshoppers, slugs, snails, just about anything they can find. Where will you keep it? You can use a 10 gallon tank, or use a bucket with some that can cover it. Use a rock to hold the object down. Don't forget to put air holes in it. Put some dirt, leaves, twigs, grasses, a small log, and a rock or two on the container you pick. You may also put in an unpainted pot for him to hide in. Need more information? Ask a different question and I'll get back to you soon. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Shrews are not recommended as pets for several reasons. They have specific dietary and habitat needs that are difficult to replicate in a home setting. In addition, shrews have a strong musky odor and are known to be aggressive, making them unsuitable for interaction with humans. It is best to appreciate shrews in their natural environment rather than trying to keep them as pets.
