Beaver Farming

BREAKFAST TIME 



Figure 17. Baby beavers getting their meal from ordinary baby bottles, which they 

 would call for vociferously every three hours. Four is the usual number of young born 

 in a litter, but cases are on record of six or even eight being born at one time. Selec- 

 tion of more prolific strains would be one of the qualities the beaver farmer could work 

 for. Photograph from U. S. Biological Survey.
