If you are slightly bitten by a woodland vole and there is no bleeding, you can use running water or soapy water to wash the wound repeatedly. If the bite causes bleeding, the blood needs to be squeezed out as soon as possible. Although the woodland vole is not the main host of rabies virus , but it may carry the virus, rinse the wound with running water, and disinfect it with iodophor.

Woodland voles are non-family animals, so they are not suitable to be kept as pets. That is to say, they not only have strong territorial awareness and exclude their own kind, but they also exclude human beings. When you're just starting out with woodland voles, it's perfectly normal for them to be hostile to you when they're not familiar with you.
