Chapter 655
Chapter 653 Life Recovery
“Wake up! Wake up! I am waking up this hamster!” Xiaoqin cried excitedly.
“I am only this!”
“This has only moved a bit!”
Not only her, but also several other hamsters waking up, squirming in the palms of the children, opening their eyes and seeing this familiar and strange world again.
Zhang Zi An has dumped the urinary sand in the utensils, all of them are replaced with pure wood chips, and a small pit is made, so that everyone can put the waking hamsters in, and then cover them with wood chips.
Everyone is very distressed by the hamsters who escaped from the ghost gate and want to hold them for a while, but Zhang Zi reminded: “If there is sweat in your palm, it is best not to hold it for too long, otherwise the sweat will touch the hamster. Will cause their body temperature to drain faster.”
Because of the tension, the children sweated to varying degrees in their hands, and they quickly put them back on the sawdust. The hamsters instinctively smashed into the wood chips.
Their confidence increased greatly, and they continued to do the same. They rescued a hamster one after another, and even later sneaked on it, and the hamsters who awake in the game were more. Looking at a small life and regaining a new life, they have gained great happiness and pride in their hearts, don’t be too excited!
However, only one hamster has not been awake, that is, the three-line hamster living in the cage. Everyone took turns to pick up the hand, then held it in the palm of his hand and tried to scream it hot, but it still remained motionless, as if it were really dead.
“It’s stupid! Look at me!” Wang Yaning pushed the others to the side and took it with confidence.
She had saved most of the hamsters before, and even had the illusion that her body temperature was higher than others.
However, she held it in various poses for a long time, and the hamster still did not move…
“How… what’s going on? Is this hamster really dead?” she said suspiciously.
“The shop manager brother, why is this hamster still not awake!” Xiaoqin was so angry that his face was flushed, and others looked at him with contempt.
“Because this hamster is frozen the most.” Zhang Zi An pointed to the bird cage that was ventilated.
Hamsters have poor ability to regulate their body temperature. Their residence should be warm in winter and cool in summer, and avoid direct sunlight in summer. In winter, they should avoid the wind and avoid excessive temperature difference between day and night. On the other hand, this bird cage is completely incompatible with the wind, and if it is a good place to live in the summer.
“What should I do?” Little celery glared at his little scorpion. “We have nothing else. The teacher does not advocate that we spend money to buy anything…”
“Your teacher is right, but it doesn’t cost money. The solution is very simple.” Zhang Zi An took an empty cardboard box from the corner and buckled it on the bird cage. “Is this not enough? Just give the cardboard box.” Dig a few holes in the upper part for ventilation, buckle at night, take off during the day, shelter from the wind and keep warm – in fact, it is better to use cardboard boxes directly.”
“Now we must die and live as a horse doctor. Is there a towel? It is thicker,” he asked.
The children have contributed their own towels.
Zhang Zi An found a cup filled with hot water, then put a few layers of towels on the lid, and put the hamster that was not awake into the towel and wrapped it tightly.
The normal body temperature of hamsters is higher than that of humans. If people’s body temperature does not allow them to recover from false hibernation, they can only resort to hot water. Care must be taken in actual operation. If the temperature is not well controlled, or if the towel is not insulated, it is easy to burn them. However, as he said, it is now only a dead horse to live a horse doctor.
While waiting for the results, Zhang Zi An was not idle, greeting the two boys together to lift the shelf and lifting the shelf from the north window to the lighter southern window.
The school’s breeding room is not small, but there is only one air-conditioner cabinet. The heating effect is limited for the whole room. The most important thing is that he heard from the children that in response to the school’s call for electricity saving, the air conditioner is in the night. It is necessary to shut down, no wonder the hamsters all entered the false hibernation state last night or this morning.
In this regard, Zhang Zi An can’t help, the children must be asked to apply with the school, and the air conditioner can’t be turned off at night, otherwise these hamsters can’t live. Energy saving and emission reduction is a good thing, but it also scores.
Wang Yaning recorded this matter in a small book in a serious way. Compared with other children, she was responsible for negotiating with the school.
“Moved!”
“Look! It wakes up!”
Little celery and another girl cried almost at the same time, clapping their hands cheerfully.
The three-line hamster wrapped in a towel opened his eyes, his small head looked around, and he sniffed his nose and sniffed around, as if wondering why he was wrapped like a sandwich. It twisted the body and tried to get the towel out, but it was pressed down by the small celery. If its delicate claws touched the metal lid, it would burn.
“Great! I finally woke up!”
The two little boys were equally excited, and the four small heads were all crowded together to watch the three-line hamster that survived. Although Wang Yaning also wants to see it, he is worried about the identity and people of his class cadres.
“When you wake up, you must be careful about their warmth.” Zhang Zi An is also relieved. If the hamsters die because of the negligence of the children, they are expected to stay guilty for a long time.
“Let’s come over and see this.” He called them together and asked them to pay attention to the sawdust and urinary sand that had just been replaced.
“Do you know what this is?” he said, pointing to a few brown, soft things.
Little celery raises his hand, “I know! It’s a hamster’s poop!”
“Yes.” Zhang Zi An gave her a look at the encouragement. “But did you pay attention to the small celery? The hamster Xiaoling in my store, what color is it? What is it?”
“This…” Little Celery tried hard, but her observations were not so careful.
Instead, Wang Yaning frowned and said: “It seems to be black? A grain.”
She had been to Zhang Zi An’s pet shop with Xiao Celery last time. I didn’t expect her memory to be good. It was a potential school.
Zhang Zi An nodded. “The normal hamster’s stool is like that, with black particles, and this…” He pointed to the brown soft stool mixed in the urinary sand. “This kind of soft stool needs to be vigilant. Good will develop into a deadly enteritis.”
The children face each other.
“then what should we do?”
“Do you want an injection?”
“Do you take medicine?”
They asked with a slap in the face, and the hamsters who were not willing to be rescued by them were in danger. When it comes to injections and medicines, their faces are not very good-looking. It is estimated that they have suffered a lot from injections and medicines.
“You don’t need to take an injection or take medicine. Now it’s winter. Do you have apples at home? Let’s make apples and deal with the softness of hamsters.” Zhang Zi An added, “Although it is more convenient to buy finished apples from the Internet, But aren’t your teachers advocating that you can get enough food and clothing? Then you can make homemade apples, and there is no trouble.”
He told them how to make apples, let them make apples after they got home today, and see who brought the best apples tomorrow.
The method of making apple is very simple. Peel the apples, cut them into thin slices, put them into a pan or cook them in an electric kettle. After they are fished out, spread them on a plate and put them in a microwave oven to heat two or three. Minutes, take it out and turn it on for two or three minutes, then you can take it to the balcony and dry it. If you have a dryer in your home, it will be more convenient.
Then he shouted: “Although the apples are good, they can’t eat too much. If you can’t eat too much, you will have constipation if you eat more hamsters.”
Fortunately, he deliberately followed the small celery to look at it, otherwise these hamsters will die of diarrhea and dehydration caused by enteritis even if they do not die in fake hibernation.
Others listened carefully and asked questions if they didn’t understand. Wang Yaning was struggling to write a book. She felt that she had learned a lot of things today, and all of them could be written into the feeding report. She was very embarrassed before, because there was nothing to write, even if it was written, it was very empty and boring, but today she realized that the seemingly ordinary feeding process contained many details and wisdom, and it was worthwhile to chew after going home.
The children listened very scared and felt that raising hamsters was not as easy as imagined. In other words, life is very fragile and needs to be carefully cared for and cherished. It is a pleasure to save lives. It is painful to watch the passage of life. They have become more aware of the preciousness of life than most children of the same age.
Zhang Zi An looked at them with relief. He always thought that children who like pets would not be violent, as it turns out.
