When Zhang Zian talked about the relationship between rabbits and Easter, Little Celery and Wang Yaning were fascinated, as if they were listening to a story.
"So poor..." Little Celery murmured. She sympathized with the rabbits that were abandoned after Easter.
Zhang Zian echoed, "Yes, it is very poor to be abandoned, so you must be mentally prepared before you raise a pet. Rabbits are living creatures, not plush toys. They also have emotions. As long as you raise them well, they can live a long life. After you graduate from primary school, they will be raised by your juniors. Isn't that a great sense of accomplishment? "
Wang Yaning nodded. "So, we should wait until the new semester starts before we buy young rabbits to raise, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Zian pointed at the lop-eared rabbit in her arms. "Its ears will grow slowly, and it will also have a period of grumpiness. Little Celery, don't dislike it, because no matter if it's grumpy or cute, it's still the same rabbit."
Little Celery shook her head. "No, Ears is my good friend!"
"That's good." Zhang Zian smiled. "I believe in you, 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 still nodded and agreed.
"But the school requires us to come up with a feeding plan and a trial breeding plan now, and then submit the trial breeding plan before the start of the new semester..." She revealed her dilemma. "The school will make a comprehensive assessment and then decide what to raise."
"I see..." Zhang Zian thought for a moment. "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 a few... "
"No need!" Wang Yaning seriously refused. "I heard that the pets sold in the pet shop are all purebred. Purebred pets are not healthy and have genetic diseases. We don't pursue purebred pets. We want healthy ones!"
Zhang Zian was speechless. This little girl changed her attitude faster than turning a page of a book!
Her voice was sharp and crisp. Lu Yiyun had just finished a satisfactory illustration outside and was stretching. She vaguely heard her voice, so she ran into the inner room with Jasmine in her arms. She quickly said, "Mr. Store Manager, some customers did say that! You're always talking about how expensive purebred pets are … "
Lu Yi Yun's arrival caused Little Celery and Wang Yaning to panic. They shouted and told her not to get close, because they were worried that Jasmine, who was in her arms, would hurt the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit. Especially Little Celery. She quickly put the hamster back into the cage and closed the door. There were many kittens playing on the floor, but adult cats like Jasmine were too lethal to rodents like hamsters.
However, Jasmine was not interested in the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit. Under Fina's eyes, it did not dare to move.
Seeing this, Lu Yi Yun knew that she had been too rash just now. Usually, Jasmine often walked around the pet shop and had never caused any trouble, but these two little girls did not know that.
Zhang Zian quickly comforted them, saying that Jasmine would not hurt the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit.
After a moment of panic, Lu Yi Yun apologized seriously and repeated what she had just said.
Zhang Zian often heard customers say this, saying that the pets in the shop were expensive and that purebred pets were not good. Under normal circumstances, he just pretended not to hear it, because such customers, no matter for what reason, generally would not pay, and he was too lazy to waste his breath to explain.
But since Wang Yaning said this in front of him, he had to clarify, otherwise, wouldn't these two elementary school students look down on him? Moreover, Lu Yi Yun also wanted to know. She needed to know, so that she could better deal with the customers' unreasonable pestering.
"Whether purebred pets are good or not, you can't generalize. You have to analyze the specific situation." 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 have a shorter life expectancy than hybrid pets. On the contrary, because purebred pets are expensive, people tend to take care of them more carefully, so that they have a longer life expectancy. As for hamsters … "
He deliberately kept them in suspense, "Do you think purebred hamsters or hybrid hamsters are better? Or almost the same? "
"Hybrid hamsters are better!" Wang Yaning replied with certainty.
"I think it's almost the same?" Lu Yi Yun guessed.
Little Celery had no idea what they were talking about.
"Hamsters are a typical counterexample," Zhang Zian laughed, "purebred hamsters are healthier than hybrid hamsters, and the purer they are, the healthier they are."
"Are you serious? You're not lying, right? Do you have any evidence for that? " Wang Yaning didn't completely believe him. She pushed up her glasses, her face full of doubt. She almost said that he was a bad businessman who fooled children.
Zhang Zian had dealt with countless tricky customers, so he wouldn't be stumped by this little girl's question. He replied confidently, "Hamsters have recessive genes for diabetes. The purer the hamster, the lower the incidence, but the higher the incidence of hybrid hamsters. Do you know of a beige pudding hamster? "
Little Celery shook her head, and Wang Yaning nodded and said, "I've seen it on the Internet. It's very cute!"
"Although it's cute, it's best not to buy pudding hamsters," Zhang Zian kindly reminded her. Zhang Zian kindly reminded her, "Pudding hamsters seem to be purebred, but most of them aren't. They have a high incidence of diabetes. People often attribute the diabetes of pudding hamsters to their laziness and gluttony, but that's really wrong. In short, if you plan to raise hamsters at home or at school, raise an ordinary third-line hamster or a silver fox hamster like Xiaoling. Remember to raise a purebred hamster. "
Wang Yaning had nothing to say this time.
Lu Yi Yun also secretly memorized this knowledge. She might be able to use it to refute customers' comments in the future.
Little Celery asked worriedly, "Will Xiaoling get diabetes? Is diabetes terrible? "
Zhang Zian comforted her, "Diabetes is not terrible, but it's a bit troublesome. Xiaoling is a purebred silver fox, so the genetic probability of her getting diabetes is relatively low. As long as she maintains a healthy and reasonable diet and exercises, the probability of getting diabetes will be further reduced. In fact, the same is true for humans and other animals. Life is about exercise. "
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhan Tian, who was lying in the corner.
"However, even if Xiaoling unfortunately gets diabetes, Little Celery won't abandon her, right?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Little Celery won't abandon her friends!" Little Celery said, clenching her small fist.
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "That's good. I believe Little Celery. Little Celery rarely catches a cold, right? Little Celery likes to exercise. Every time I see you, you always run to and from school. "
"Little Celery never catches a cold, because I like eating celery very much. My mom says eating celery won't catch a cold!" Little Celery laughed.
