Pet King

When Celery heard that the hamsters might not have died, she immediately stopped crying.

"Brother the store manager, is it true? The hamsters are still alive?" Her tears swirled in her eyes, and she could slip off her cheek again at any time.

"I think it is very possible, because unless it is poisoning, it is unlikely to die at the same time. They should be in a false hibernation state." Zhang Zi'an explained the reason.

"Great!" Xiao Celery was finally relieved. She trusted Zhang Zi'an's knowledge about pets.

But Zhang Zi'an's expression was still serious, because he knew that although the hamsters were not dead, the situation was still very dangerous. Fake hibernation is the last life-saving means of hamsters when their lives are threatened by harsh environments. It is a gamble that they rely on their survival instincts to be able to wake up after false hibernation and whether they will become real death. Everything is ambiguous.

He glanced around, and people who got up early in the morning were still searching for cats and dogs escaping from the farm. They estimated that there was no business today, and they said, "Little celery, I'm fine today, or I'll go with you How are those hamsters? "

"Yes!" Xiao Celery nodded heavily. "We also want the manager's brother to comment because we don't know how to raise it ..."

"But can I go to your school?" He asked, "should be very strict?"

Little Celery thought about it, "I ask Yaning."

She took out a smartphone with a small screen from her bag and sent several messages to Wang Yaning.

Soon, she put away her cell phone and said, "Yaning said she told the teacher in charge of the class, and asked the teacher to help you with the security report ... or something ..."

"I see, let's go."

Without further ado, Zhang Zi'an returned to the store to greet Lu Yiyun, let them look at the store, and followed Xiao Celery to her elementary school.

His stride is large, and taking one step is equivalent to taking more than two steps for small celery, which occasionally requires two steps to keep up with him.

On the road, Xiao Celery's worry was still written on his face, and from time to time he asked Zhang Zi'an about the safety of the hamster. Zhang Zi'an believes that the hamster is currently in a false hibernation state, but he is not completely sure whether they can wake up again. He does not want to lie to her, but can only let her worry.

After a trip on Christmas Eve, this is Zhang Zi'an's second visit to Zhonghua Road Primary School recently, and his alma mater as a child.

At Christmas, as it is a school celebration, there is a crowd of people inside and outside the elementary school. Many parents come to watch the children's performances. Electric bicycles and cars almost blast the street near the door. Today is already a winter vacation, the school gate is deserted, there is no one, the electric fence gate is closed, and only a side door in front of the security room is left for access.

Zhang Zi'an's temporary status is the guidance of the feeding class. The head teacher of Xiao Celery and Wang Yaning has already greeted the security guard to say why the head teacher can trust such a strange adult so much, because she was also Zhang Zi'an's head teacher before. Many older primary school teachers are like this, staying in a school for a lifetime, watching each student go to the Quartet and become the backbone of the motherland.

Little Celery led him towards the back of the school building. He thought they were raising hamsters in the classroom, but it seemed not.

There is a row of bungalows behind the teaching building. The bungalows are arranged around a swing swinging in the wind of a small garden, a grape rack made of fine bamboo poles, and a row of low bamboo fences to isolate it from the teaching area until the spring blooms. At that time, it must be a pleasant rural scenery.

The bungalows use a lot of tempered glass, and the interior lighting is very good. Zhang Zi'an saw a few figures busy inside.

Little celery knocked on the door, and soon, Wang Yaning, who was like an adult, ran over to open the door.

She looked at Zhang Zi'an suspiciously and said to Nunu inside, "Come in. What do you say the hamster is not dead?"

"This is what it means, literally." Zhang Zi'an looked at the students present, including a small celery and Wang Yaning, a total of 5 people, the other three he has never met, probably all of the celery classmates, male and female. Facing a strange adult like him, other children are very restrained.

"Where is the hamster?" He asked.

"There." Little celery pointed at a row of shelves by the window.

There are utensils of various sizes on the shelf. There are decent PVC hamster cages. They are bought from the market or online. There are also small glass fish tanks with barbed wire at the top and bird cages made of wire. Used as a hamster cage, these should be brought by students from their homes.

The utensils were covered with half sawdust and half urine sand. On the side of the sawdust, a hamster, either the third line or the silver fox, was given by Zhang Zi'an to the young celery for trial cultivation.

"Do you have a thermometer here?"

He looked around the furnishings and asked ~ www.readwn.com ~. When he came in, he felt that although the temperature in the room was higher than the outside, it was still quite cold.

"No, what do you want a thermometer for?" Wang Yaning shook his head and asked back.

"Useful, hamsters are more sensitive to temperature changes," Zhang Zi'an explained.

Wang Yaning asked the others: "Do you have one?"

A little boy took out a stationery box from his schoolbag. After opening it, there was a small mercury thermometer inside the stationery box.

"Will this work?" The little boy asked.

Zhang Zi'an took a look at it. Don't expect this crude thermometer to be accurate, but it is still possible to use it together.

The red mercury column fell about 17 degrees.

"It's too cold." He already understood why, pointing at the scale for them to see.

"Is 17 degrees still low? It's less than 17 degrees in my family!" Wang Yaning said, and other friends also agreed.

Zhang Zi'an walked to the vessel holding the hamster, leaned over to look, and asked, "Why half the wood dust and half the urine?"

"Because it is not easy to clean up if you only put wood chips," Wang Yaning replied. "We figured out a way, half of the wood chips and half of the urine and sand, so that the hamsters go to the urine and sand when they urinate, and come to the wood chips. "

Zhang Zi'an shook his head. "First of all, the temperature is too low, 17 degrees is suitable for people, but hamsters do not adapt to such a low temperature, it is best to keep it above 20 degrees. Secondly, if it cannot keep 20 degrees for objective reasons, hamsters must be given. Prepare pure wood shavings to keep warm. Half of the wood shavings and half of the urine and sand are the configuration in the spring and autumn. If it is summer, you must have pure urine.

"Brother the manager, you mean, because the hamster is too cold, so it's fake ... fake hibernation?" Xiao Celery asked.

"That's right." Zhang Zi'an rolled up his sleeves. "Now you go and help me prepare some things, and we have to rescue the hamsters!"
