Chapter 511: Purebred and Hybrid

When Zhang Zian talked about the relationship between rabbits and Easter, Xiao Celery and Wang Yaning were fascinated by it, as if they were listening to a story.

"It's so pitiful..." Little Celery murmured, sympathizing with those rabbits who were abandoned after Easter.

Zhang Zian echoed: "Yes, it's very pitiful to be abandoned, so you must make corresponding psychological preparations before raising a pet. Rabbits are living things, not plush toys. They also have emotions. As long as they are raised well, Rabbits have a long lifespan, after you graduate from elementary school, they will be raised by your juniors, isn’t it very fulfilling?”

Wang Yaning nodded, "So you should buy baby rabbits after the new semester starts, right?"

"That's right." Zhang Zian pointed to the lop-eared rabbit in her arms and said, "The ears will also grow slowly, and there will also be a period of irascibility. At that time, you should not dislike Little Celery, because no matter the irascible It’s still soft and cute, it’s all the same.”

Little Celery shook her head, "No, ears are my good friends!"

"That's good." Zhang Zian smiled, "I believe in Little Celery."

"Yaning will help me take care of it, right, Yaning?" Little Celery looked at her friend expectantly.

"Well..." Yaning hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

"However, the school requires us to put forward a breeding plan now and try to raise them, and then submit the trial breeding experience before the start of the new semester..." She explained the difficulty, "The school will make a comprehensive assessment and then decide what to raise."

"That's it..." Zhang Zian thought for a while, "Then I suggest that you raise hamsters first. Hamsters and rabbits are both rodents, so they have some similarities. If you want to raise them, I can help you find some... "

"No need!" Wang Yaning refused seriously, "I heard that the pets sold in pet stores are all purebred pets. The health of purebred pets is not good, and there are genetic diseases. We don't pursue purebreds, we want to raise healthy ones!"

Zhang Zian: "..." This little girl turned her face in movies faster than a book!

Her voice was high-pitched and crisp. Lu Yiyun just finished a fairly satisfactory illustration in the outside room and was stretching. He vaguely heard her voice, so he ran into the room with Jasmine in his arms, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Store Manager, There are indeed customers who say so! They always talk about the price and the badness of purebred pets..."

The arrival of Lu Yiyun caused panic among Xiao Qincai and Wang Yaning. They yelled at her to keep her away, because they were worried that Jasmine in her arms would hurt the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit. Especially the little celery, quickly put the hamster back into the cage and close the cage door.

There are many kittens playing on the floor indoors, but adult cats like Molly are too lethal to rodents like hamsters.

But Jasmine had no interest in hamsters or lop-eared rabbits, and under Fina's nose, it didn't dare to move rashly.

Seeing this, Lu Yiyun knew that she was too reckless just now, and Jasmine often wandered around the pet shop and never caused any trouble, but these two little girls didn't know it.

Zhang Zian also quickly reassured them not to panic, Jasmine would not hurt the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit.

After the moment of panic ended, Lu Yiyun apologized earnestly, and then repeated what he had just said.

Zhang Zian also often hears some customers talking like this, saying that the pets in the store are expensive and at the same time saying that purebred pets are not good. Normally, he just pretends not to hear it, because such customers say so no matter what the reason is. , Usually he would not pay, so he was too lazy to explain.

But since Wang Yaning said this in front of him, he had to clarify, otherwise wouldn't these two primary school students look down on him? And Lu Yiyun also really wanted to know, she needed to know, so that she could better deal with customers' nonsense.

"Whether purebred pets are good or not, we can't generalize, we need to analyze specific situations." Zhang Zian cleared his throat and explained, "It is true that some purebred pets are not as healthy as hybrid pets, but in most cases there is no conclusive data to prove that purebred pets are worse than hybrid pets. Breed pets have a shorter lifespan than hybrid pets, on the contrary, because purebred pets are valuable, people tend to take care of them more carefully, so that they have a longer lifespan. Specifically, hamsters..."

He made a fool of himself on purpose, "Do you guess whether the hamster is a purebred or a hybrid? Or about the same?"

"Good hybridization!" Wang Yaning replied firmly.

"I think it's about the same?" Lu Yiyun guessed.

Little Celery couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

"Hamsters are a typical counterexample." Zhang Zian laughed, "Pure-bred hamsters are healthier than hybrid hamsters, and the purer they are, the healthier they are."

"Really? It won't be a lie, right? Do you have any evidence for what you say?" Wang Yaning didn't fully believe it. She pushed her glasses, with suspicion written all over her face, and she almost said that he was a bad boy who fooled children. A profiteer.

Zhang Zian has dealt with countless tricky and weird customers. How could he be overwhelmed by this little girl's question? He replied confidently: "Hamsters have a recessive gene for diabetes. The purer the hamster, the lower the incidence rate, and the hybrid hamster Very tall. Did you know there's a beige pudding hamster?"

Little Celery shook her head, but Wang Yaning nodded and said, "I saw it online, it's very cute!"

"It's cute, but it's best not to buy pudding hamsters." Zhang Zian kindly reminded, "Pudding hamsters look like purebreds, but most of them are not so pure. They have a high chance of suffering from diabetes. People often attribute diabetes to pudding hamsters. Because they are lazy and greedy, they are really wronged. In short, if you plan to raise hamsters at home or at school, you can raise ordinary third-line hamsters or silver fox hamsters like Xiaoling—remember to raise purebred hamsters.”

Wang Yaning had nothing to say this time.

Lu Yiyun also secretly kept the knowledge in her heart, which may be used to refute the customer's remarks in the future.

Xiao Celery asked worriedly: "Will Xiaoling get diabetes? Is diabetes terrible?"

Zhang Zian reassured: "Diabetes is not terrible, it's just troublesome. Xiaoling is a purebred silver fox, and the chance of diabetes is relatively low genetically. As long as you maintain a healthy and reasonable diet and exercise frequently, you can get sick." The probability of further reduction—in fact, the same is true for humans and other animals, life lies in movement.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhan Tian lying in the corner.

"However, even if Xiao Ling unfortunately suffers from diabetes, Xiao Celery will not abandon her?" He asked knowingly.

"Little Celery will never abandon friends!" Little Celery clenched her fists tightly and said.

Zhang Zian smiled and said, "That's good, I believe in Little Celery. Little Celery rarely catches a cold, right? Because Little Celery likes to exercise very much, every time I see you trot to and from school."

"Little Celery never catches a cold, because I like eating celery very much, and my mother said that I don't catch a cold if I love celery!" Little Celery laughed.
