Chapter 982 Precepts and Deeds

Homemade paper cotton is a very important and necessary item in the breeding process of hamsters. You can buy the finished product from the Internet. The finished product is a whole sheet of original pulp paper without adding any artificial dyes. After raising a cub, it will instinctively look for materials to make a nest. If it cannot find it, it will be very anxious. Although the owner may have prepared a nest for it, it is useless. It can only use the nest made by itself. Only at ease.

The paper cotton was given to the children by Zhang Zian for free, and a pack cost only ten yuan. The children cut it into paper strips.

The children were amazed to see the mother hamster eating the tissue paper.

"Is mother hamster hungry? Why do you eat paper cotton?" Little Celery asked worriedly.

"Yeah, do you want to feed it something to eat? What if it gets hungry and eats the little hamster?" Another child also echoed.

"Do you think it is eating? No, it just stores paper cotton in its cheek pouch for easy carrying and nesting. The reason why it cuts the paper into thin strips the width of a finger is because its mouth is too wide to eat. no less...

After passing through its mouth, the paper cotton will become softer after being stained with saliva, so it cannot be replaced by ordinary sawdust. The sawdust is too hard for it to eat, and it is not suitable for nesting.

It ate several strips of paper cotton into its cheek pouch, then ran back to its cubs, spit out the paper cotton, and started to build a nest without a teacher, and then ran to the corner to eat the paper cotton.

"Isn't it better to just put the paper cotton closer?" A child asked, "It saves it from running back and forth. It's very hard for it just after giving birth?"

Zhang Zian nodded, "It's really hard work, but the production and transportation of paper cotton will inevitably get human smell, let it be eaten into the mouth and then spit out, it can cover the human smell with its own smell, so Don't put it too close."

The children looked at the busy hamster mother, who had just given birth and was physically exhausted, but still worked tirelessly back and forth over and over again to build a shelter for the children, and they couldn't help but respect her.

Zhang Zian took the opportunity to say: "When your mother gave birth to you, she experienced much more pain than the hamster mother. In order to take care of you growing up, she also worked harder than the hamster mother. Not only did she have to take care of your daily necessities, Feed you big bite by bite, and run between home and work every day like a hamster mother, earning money in exchange for a bigger and more comfortable house, in exchange for delicious and fun things, in exchange for you more A happy life... So you have to be considerate of your mother, don't always make her angry, try to help her share some housework within your ability, this is the best reward for her."

Thinking of my mother's daily hard work, but I often pissed her off because of studying and being mischievous. A few naughty boys lowered their heads in shame, and a few sensitive girls were even more moved. tears.

If you just stand on the podium and chatter, you will definitely not have such an effect, and you will not be able to let children intuitively understand the hard work of being a mother. You must let them witness and experience it with their own eyes, so as to leave a deep impression on them. If this can be achieved, the cost of buying a pet and the hard work of raising a pet will be meaningful.

Whether it is raising pets at home or offering breeding classes in schools, the purpose is not simply to let children play, but to cultivate their love and sense of responsibility in the process of raising pets. If you can also experience the hard work of mothers during the breeding process, then It couldn't be better.

The children have already made up their minds that they will try to learn to do housework when they get home today, even if it is helping their mother sweep the floor or wipe the table.

"Little Celery has done a good job in this area, you should learn more from her." Zhang Zian encouraged.

"I... I haven't done enough..." Little Celery lowered her head in embarrassment.

Wang Yaning was a little embarrassed, she was good at studying, and spent her spare time doing homework and various interest classes, and her mother didn't let her do housework.

In the process of whispering, the female hamster has already moved all the paper cotton in the corner,

Dig a shallow hole in the sawdust, put the cubs in it, and then cover it with paper cotton to make a simple and warm nest. After all, the newborn hamster is hairless and has poor heat retention ability.

"Won't baby hamsters suffocate to death?" Someone asked worriedly, because the paper cotton had already covered all the baby hamsters.

"Don't worry, this is the benefit of paper cotton and wood chips. There are many gaps in the middle, so you can breathe, no problem." Zhang Zian said, then took the food bowl commonly used by female hamsters, and opened a bag of goat's milk eggs purchased online. Steamed buns, put a few in, and then put them in a cardboard box, as food for the female hamster to supplement her physical strength.

Although he tried his best to encourage children to prepare their own pet supplies, baking is too difficult for children.

The female hamster is still busy making a nest. Even though she has prepared food, she has no time to eat. She just licks water in a hurry when passing by the drinking fountain to replenish the water lost due to childbirth.

"Do you have an electric kettle here? Bring an egg tomorrow and boil the egg in white water. After it is cooked, break off the egg white that is as big as a fingernail and feed it to supplement protein. Don't feed too much. The rest can be eaten. Feed it to other hamsters." Zhang Zian ordered.

"I saw someone fed mealworms to hamsters. Is it better to eat live food?" A boy asked.

The girls all wrinkled their faces in disgust, and said one after another: "Don't want mealworms, it's so disgusting!"

Zhang Zian stood on the side of the girls this time and agreed: "It's best not to feed mealworms. For domestic pets, live food is not necessarily good, because live food may contain bacteria, and mealworms themselves are also slightly infected. of toxins."

In the blink of an eye, a small bulge was raised where the cub was, and there was almost no trace of the cub.

Finally, the female hamster was finally satisfied with the work, and she also got under the paper cotton. If the paper cotton was not still wriggling slightly, it would even make people mistakenly think that the cardboard box was empty.

"How does the mother hamster take care of the baby hamster? I really want to see it." The children said regretfully, but the paper cotton completely blocked their sight.

"If you really want to see it, there is a way. Isn't there other hamster mothers who are about to give birth? Find an ordinary glass fish tank, or an acrylic transparent hamster cage, and spread the wood chips a little thinner, so that you can never see the hamster. Look up from the bottom, maybe you can see how the mother hamster takes care of the baby." Zhang Zian gave them an idea.

The children suddenly realized that they were full of expectations for the next delivery process.
