Chapter 511: Purebreds and Crossbreeds

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

"Poor ......," murmured little celery, sympathizing with the rabbits who had been abandoned after Easter.

Zhang Zi'an echoed: "Yes, it is very pitiful to be abandoned, so you must be psychologically prepared before raising a pet, rabbits are creatures, not plush toys, they also have joys and sorrows." As long as you take care of them, rabbits have a long lifespan, and after you graduate from primary school, they will be raised by your younger brothers and sisters, isn't it very fulfilling?"

Wang Yaning nodded, "So you should wait until the new semester starts before buying young rabbits, right?"

"That's right. Zhang Zi'an 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 irritability. ”

Little Celery shook her head, "No, the ear is my good friend!"

"That's good. Zhang Zi'an smiled, "I believe in small celery." ”

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

"Hmm......" Yaning hesitated, but nodded in agreement.

"However, the school asked us to come up with a breeding plan and try it out now, and then hand in the trial breeding experience before the start ......of the new semester," she said, "The school will make a comprehensive assessment and then decide what to raise." ”

"That's ......," Zhang Zi'an thought for a while, "Then I still suggest that you raise hamsters first, hamsters and rabbits are both rodents and have certain commonalities." 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 pet stores are purebred, purebred pets are not in good health, there are genetic diseases, we don't pursue purebreds, we want to raise healthy!"

Zhang Zi'an: "......", this little girl turns her face faster than a book!

Her voice was sharp and crisp, Lu Yiyun happened to have just finished a satisfactory illustration outside, and was stretching her waist, vaguely hearing her voice, so she ran into the room with Jasmine in her arms, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Store Manager, there are indeed customers who say that......!

Lu Yiyun's arrival caused a panic among Celery and Wang Yaning, who screamed at her not to come closer, for fear that the jasmine in her arms would hurt the hamster and lop-eared rabbit. Especially the little celery, quickly put the hamster back in the cage and close the cage door. There are many kittens playing on the floor indoors, but adult cats like Jasmine are too lethal to rodents like hamsters.

But Jasmine has little interest in hamsters and lop-eared rabbits, and under Fina's nose, she doesn't dare to move.

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

Zhang Zi'an also hurriedly comforted them not to panic, Jasmine would not hurt hamsters and lop-eared rabbits.

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

Zhang Zi'an also often hears some customers talk like this, saying that the pets in the store are expensive and saying that purebred pets are not good, under normal circumstances, he just didn't hear it, because such customers generally don't pay for what reason they say it, so he doesn't bother to waste his tongue to explain.

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

"Whether purebred pets are good or not cannot be generalized, and must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Zhang Zi'an 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 lifespan than hybrid pets. Specific to hamsters......"

He deliberately sold it, "Do you guess the hamster is better than purebred, or hybrid, or almost?"

"Good hybridization!" replied Wang Yaning 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 classic counterexample. Zhang Zi'an smiled, "Purebred hamsters are healthier than hybrid hamsters, and the purer they are, the healthier they are." ”

"It's really fake? It won't lie to people, right? Do you have any evidence for saying that?" Wang Yaning didn't fully believe it when she heard this, she pushed her glasses, and her face was full of suspicion, almost saying that he was a bad profiteer who fooled children.

Zhang Zi'an has dealt with countless tricky and eccentric customers, who was asked by this little girl, and replied confidently: "Hamsters have recessive genes for diabetes in their bodies, and the purer hamsters have a lower incidence, while hybrid hamsters have a high incidence." Did you know there's a beige pudding hamster?"

Xiao Celery shook her head, while Wang Yaning nodded and said, "I've seen it on the Internet, it's cute!"

"It's cute though, but it's better not to buy pudding hamsters. Zhang Zi'an kindly reminded, "Pudding hamsters seem to be purebred, but most of them are not pure, and the chance of diabetes is very high." People often attribute pudding hamsters to diabetes to their laziness and gluttony, which is really wronged. In short, if you plan to raise hamsters at home or school, just raise an ordinary three-line hamster or a silver fox hamster like Xiaoling - remember to raise a purebred. ”

Wang Yaning had nothing to say this time.

Lu Yiyun also kept the knowledge secretly in his heart, and he might be able to use it to refute the customer's remarks in the future.

Xiao Celery asked worriedly, "Does Xiaoling get diabetes, is diabetes scary?"

Zhang Zi'an relieved: "Diabetes is not terrible, it's just a little troublesome. Xiaoling is a purebred silver fox, genetically speaking, the probability of diabetes is relatively low, as long as you maintain a healthy and reasonable diet, exercise frequently, you can further reduce the chance of getting sick - in fact, the same is true for humans and other animals, life lies in exercise. ”

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 it, right?" he asked knowingly.

"Little celery won't abandon her friends!" said little celery, clenching her little fists.

Zhang Zi'an smiled: "That's good, I believe in little celery." Little celery rarely catches a cold, right? Because little celery likes to exercise, every time I see you, you are trotting to and from school. ”

"Little celery never catches a cold, because I like to eat celery very much, and my mother said that eating celery doesn't catch a cold!"
