Chapter 651 Life Recovery

"Wake up! Wake up! My hamster has woken up!" Little Celery cried excitedly. --

"Me too!"

"This one moved too!"

Not only her, but several other hamsters also woke up one after another, squirmed their bodies in the hands of the children, opened their dazed eyes, and saw this familiar yet strange world again.

Zhang Zian had already poured out the 'urine' sand in the container, and replaced all of them with pure wood chips. He dug out a small hole, asked everyone to put the waking hamsters in, and then covered them with wood chips.

Everyone felt sorry for these hamsters who had escaped from the ghost's door, and wanted to hold them for a while longer, but Zhang Zi reminded: "If your palms are sweaty, you'd better not hold them for too long, otherwise the sweat will stain you. Putting it on hamsters will make them lose their body temperature faster."

The children's hands were sweating to varying degrees due to nervousness, so they hurriedly put them back on the sawdust. The hamsters instinctively dug the hole and curled up in the sawdust.

Their confidence increased greatly, and they continued to follow the same pattern, waking up one by one hamsters one by one, and finally even secretly worked hard to compete who could wake up more hamsters. Watching the little lives reborn, they felt great joy and pride in their hearts, not to mention how excited they were!

However, there is only one hamster who has not woken up for a long time, that is, the third-line hamster living in the birdcage. Everyone took turns rubbing their hands together, then held it in their palms, and breathed on it desperately, but it remained motionless, as if it was really dead.

"Stupid! Look at mine!" Wang Yaning pushed the others aside and picked it up confidently.

She had rescued the most hamsters before, and even had the illusion that her body temperature was higher than others.

However, she held it in various positions for a long time, and the hamster still remained motionless...

"What... what's going on? This hamster isn't really dead, is it?" she said suspiciously.

"Brother store manager, why isn't this hamster awake!" Little Celery blushed with anxiety, and the others also looked at him eagerly.

"Because this hamster is the most frozen." Zhang Zian said, pointing to the birdcage that was ventilated from all sides.

The ability of hamsters to regulate their own body temperature is very poor. Their residences should be warm in winter and cool in summer, ventilated in summer to avoid direct sunlight, and sheltered from wind and excessive temperature difference between day and night in winter. On the other hand, this birdcage has nothing to do with sheltering from the wind. It would be a good place to live in summer.

"Then what should we do?" Little Celery tugged at her braid, "We don't have anything else, the teacher doesn't advocate that we 'spend' money on everything..."

"Your teacher is right,

But there is no need to 'spend' money, the solution is very simple. Zhang Zian took an empty cardboard box from the corner, and put it upside down on the birdcage, "Isn't that all right?" Just dig a few small holes on the top of the cardboard box for ventilation, buckle it up at night, and take it off during the day, to avoid wind and keep warm-in fact, it is better to raise it directly in a cardboard box. "

"Now we have to be dead horses as living horse doctors. Is there a 'towel' towel? It should be thicker." He asked.

The children contributed their towels one after another.

Zhang Zian found a cup and filled it with hot water, then put several layers of towels on the lid of the cup, then put the hamster that hadn't woken up in the towel, and wrapped it tightly.

The normal body temperature of hamsters is higher than that of humans. If human body temperature cannot revive them from false hibernation, they can only resort to hot water. You must be careful during the actual operation. If the temperature is not well controlled, or if you do not use a towel to insulate them, it is easy to burn them. But just as he said, now he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

While waiting for the results, Zhang Zian was not idle, and called the two little boys to lift the shelf together, and lifted the shelf from the north window to the south window where the lighting conditions were better.

The school's breeding room is not small, but there is only one air conditioner cabinet, which has a limited effect on heating up the entire room. The most important thing is that he heard from the children that in response to the school's call to save electricity, the air conditioner was turned on at night. It's going to be turned off, no wonder the hamsters all entered a false hibernation state last night or this morning.

Regarding this point, Zhang Zian couldn't help, the children had to apply to the school, and the air conditioner couldn't be turned off at night, otherwise none of these hamsters would survive. Energy saving and emission reduction is a good thing, but it also scores points.

Wang Yaning recorded this matter in a notebook seriously. Compared with other children, it is more suitable for her to be in charge of negotiating with the school.

"Moved!"

"Come and see! It's awake!"

Little Celery and the other girl yelled almost at the same time, and clapped their hands happily.

The third-line hamster wrapped in a towel opened its eyes, looked around with its small head, stuck out its nose and sniffed around, as if wondering why it was wrapped like a sandwich. It twisted its body and tried to get out of the towel, but it was held down by the little celery in time. If its delicate paws directly touched the metal cup lid, it would probably be scalded.

"Great! Finally woke up!"

The two little boys were equally excited, and all four little heads squeezed together to watch the third-line hamster that escaped death. Although Wang Yaning also wanted to go and have a look, but considering her class leader's status and personality, she resisted not going.

"Just wake up, and be careful about keeping them warm in the future." Zhang Zian also heaved a sigh of relief. If the hamster died due to the negligence of the children, they would feel guilty for a long time.

"Come over here and look at this." He called them together and asked them to pay attention to the sawdust and 'piss' sand that had just been replaced.

"Do you know what this is?" He pointed to a few brown, soft things and said.

Little Celery raised her hand, "I know! It's hamster poop!"

"That's right." Zhang Zian gave her an encouraging look, "But have you noticed Little Celery? The hamster Xiaoling in my store, what color is its poop? What kind of it? "

"This..." Little Celery tried hard to think, but her observation ability was really not that careful.

On the contrary, Wang Yaning frowned and said, "It seems to be black, right? There are grains."

She had been to Zhang Zian's pet shop with Xiao Celery last time, but she did not expect that her memory was not bad, and she was indeed a potential school bully.

Zhang Zian nodded, "The normal feces of hamsters are like that, black particles, and this..." He pointed to the brown soft feces mixed in the urine sand, "This is You need to be vigilant if you don’t get this kind of soft stool, otherwise it will develop into fatal enteritis.”

The children looked at each other.

"then what should we do?"

"Do you want an injection?"

"Is it okay to take 'medicine'?"

They asked in a hurry, none of them wanted the hamster they had just rescued to be in danger again. 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 injections or 'medicine'. It's winter, and you have apples at home, right? We can make homemade dried apples, which are very effective against hamster's soft stool." Zhang Zian added, "Although it's more convenient to buy finished dried apples online. , but isn’t your teacher advocating that you have enough food and clothing by yourself? Then make your own apples, and it won’t be too much trouble.”

He told them how to make dried apples, and asked them to make homemade dried apples when they got home today, and see who brought the best dried apples tomorrow.

The method of making dried apples is very simple. Peel and core the apples, cut them into thin slices, put them in a pot or an electric kettle and boil them with water. Heat it for two or three minutes, then take it out and turn it over for two or three minutes, then take it to the balcony to air dry. It is more convenient if you have an air dryer at home.

Immediately afterwards, he warned: "Although dried apples are good, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, your hamster will become constipated."

Fortunately, he followed Little Celery to take a look, otherwise, even if these hamsters did not die from false hibernation, they would probably die from diarrhea and dehydration caused by enteritis.

The others listened carefully and asked questions when they didn't understand, while Wang Yaning wrote hard. She felt that she learned a lot today and could write it all into the breeding report. She was very worried before, because there was nothing to write, and even if she wrote it, it was empty and boring, but today she realized that there are many details and wisdom in the seemingly ordinary raising process, which is worth chewing carefully after returning home.

The children were very scared after hearing this, and felt that raising hamsters was not as easy as they imagined. In other words, life is very fragile and needs to be carefully cared for and cherished. It is a joy to save a life, but it is painful to watch it go by. They already understand the preciousness of life better than most children of the same age.

Zhang Zian looked at them with relief. He had always thought that children who liked to keep pets would not be violent, and the fact proved this.
