Abstract: Abstract: Objective To establish simple and practicable labelling method of identifying tree shrews with quick and restless behavior to realize scientific management for tree shrews population． Method 40 young tree shrews and 40 adult tree shrews of the F1 generation were selected randomly． Electronic chips with a size of 2. 12 mm × 12 mm and a weight of 0. 09 g，were implanted into subcutaneous part of the neck back through injecting． Observation of implantation site and periodic review were carried out． Result 90% of the chips were detected in young tree shrews and 95% of those were detected in adult tree shrews． Conclusion It is a simple，effective and lasting method to mark tree shrews with electronic chips

Key words: tree shrews, electronic chip, identification

摘要： 摘要: 目的树鼩具有灵活、多动的行为特性，建立一种适合树鼩个体标记简单易行的方法，对于树鼩种群的科学 化管理十分必要。方法随机挑选自繁F1 代的幼龄树鼩和成年树鼩各40 只，采用2. 12 mm × 12 mm，质量为 0. 09 g的电子芯片，通过注射植入树鼩颈背部皮下; 观察芯片植入部位情况并定期复查。结果在注射芯片10 个 月之后，对动物复检结果显示，对大笼内群养树鼩标记有效率为90% ; 单笼饲养树鼩的有效率达到95% 。结论对 树鼩个体采用电子芯片标记技术是一种简单、有效和持久的方法。
