Chapter 10: The Big Cub and the Second Cub
On Wednesday night, Ji An parked the little electric donkey at the door of Uncle Ge and walked to the breeding area by himself.
Through the circular corridor, as soon as he entered the isolation enclosure, he saw a thrilling scene.
The door of the isolation circle was open, and the new panda mother Huahua was squatting in the corner, and the sound of cubs "wow" came from time to time in her arms. Feng Shu and another male breeder, Lao Jin, entered the cage to "pull hatred", and his father Ji Tianhao was also waiting for the opportunity to start by the cage.
Huahua, who has just given birth, is very emotionally unstable, and under the action of maternal instinct, even if it is a familiar breeder, it may have a heavy mouth.
Feng Shu coaxed with good words, and slowly approached Huahua, who was breastfeeding the cub, caressing while carefully paying attention to Huahua's body language.
Ji An walked up to Ji Tianhao and asked softly, and when he learned that Feng Shu was stealing kittens, he found out for the first time that his mother was so powerful, and the female cat who had just given birth dared to provoke.
Feng Shu touched it twice and saw that Huahua's reaction was relatively peaceful, she quietly reached into Huahua's arms and tried to steal the kitten.
Just touched her stomach, Huahua looked at Feng Shu with a pair of dark circles, her eyes were very unkind, Feng Shu hurriedly withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and continued to wait for the opportunity.
After Feng Shu tried, he changed to Lao Jinshang, and Huahua was more wary of him, and as soon as he approached, Huahua tightened the cub in her arms and issued an attack warning.
Under the vigilant gaze of the female cat, the two breeders all returned in vain, but Huahua didn't notice that there was a bad guy squatting outside the cage next to her.
Seeing that Huahua's attention was on Feng Shu and Lao Jin, Ji Tianhao suddenly grabbed a ball of pink in Huahua's arms, grabbed it and ran.
Ji Tianhao succeeded, Feng Shu and Lao Jin quickly withdrew from the cage, locked the door, and Huahua, who had lost her cubs inside, immediately got up to chase after her, but was helplessly stopped by the cage, and made an anxious bleating sound.
In the duty room, Ji Tianhao put the "dough" into a box covered with blankets, wrapped the pink cubs in blankets, covered the lid tightly, picked them up and ran to the nursery room.
Feng Shu and Lao Jin followed, and Ji An heard Huahua's anxious bleating, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you steal its child?"
Raising a roll is equivalent to raising a child, Feng Shu has forgotten her own son at this time, and her mind is all on the two newborn little rolls, Lao Jin explained: "I have to go to give the cub a birth physical examination, and I have to cut the umbilical cord." ”
"What about the kitten if you don't return it?"
"I'll pay it back, wait until ......"
Seeing that he had arrived at the nursery, Lao Jin stopped talking and walked inside.
Ji An also wanted to follow up and was stopped at the door. In the enclosure, he could look through the cage, but in the nursery he could only stay outside and lean on the window.
Pouting, Ji An ran to the window and looked inside, Feng Shu had already changed into a disposable blue mask, wearing a mask and gloves, and picked up the small dough in the box and put it in the incubator.
Then she took the sterilization scissors handed behind her, she picked up the wow wow with one hand and screamed, twisted the small dough, and cut the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors cleanly.
It was the first time for Ji An to observe the newborn cubs so clearly, compared to the huge squatting position of their parents, the little rolling cubs at this time were no bigger than a mouse, their whole body was pink, writhing and struggling, and they looked a little numb, like an alien creature.
There was also a small dough lying in the nursery box next to her, Feng Shu finished cutting the umbilical cord and letting others take care of it, she took out the small dough next door and put it in the box, and the three of them ran back to the isolation pen again.
Ji An caught up with his father and asked suspiciously.
Pandas have a 50% probability of giving birth to twins, and usually, in order to ensure that at least one is alive, and the twins are born, the female cat will only choose one to raise, and the other will be left to fend for itself. But in the base, the breeders have a way to keep the female cat together.
Not long ago, Huahua gave birth to a cub and a second cub one after another, and she picked up the cub and began to feed, and Feng Shu "picked up" the abandoned second cub on the ground.
After the cub drank the milk, it was the scene that Ji An had just seen, stealing the cub and returning to the nursery to exchange the poor second cub to drink colostrum.
This mouthful of colostrum is very, very important and has a decisive impact on the physique of the newborn panda.
In the isolation enclosure, the female cat Huahua, who had lost her child, kept making a sheep call, and when she saw Feng Shu returning, she immediately went up to beg for the child.
Feng Shu took out the second cub from the box and carefully put it back into the cage, Huahua sniffed it, and found nothing unusual, so she picked it up with her mouth, sat down in the corner of the cage that it thought was safe, and hugged the second cub to her chest like a human feeding.
The second cub, who hadn't opened his eyes yet, writhed and twisted in the arms of the female cat, instinctively found the pacifier and took a bite.
5 minutes later, hearing that the second cub also made a loud "wow" sound, Feng Shu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on their faces, and watched Huahua feeding.
Ji An: "Huahua can't see that the child is different?"
Ji Tianhao: "It's all cubs born to it, even if you find that it's different, you will still feed it." ”
"What about the cubs, will you send them back?"
Ji Tianhao nodded: "Of course I have to send it back, and I will change it again tomorrow." In the end, the artificially blended milk cannot be compared with the mother's milk, we feed a little and Huahua a little to ensure that both cubs can grow up healthy. ”
After listening, Ji An raised his eyebrows, raising pandas in his heart is really a technical job, just stealing cubs is thrilling enough.
…………
Feng Shu recently had to take care of Huahua's mother and son, and Ji An, who was unattended, automatically entered the free-range state as soon as he finished sweeping the ground in the afternoon, driving a patrol car and wandering around the zoo with a fat tiger.
However, patrol cars can not enter everywhere, the Asian jungle, the African wilderness, and the Australian tribe are surrounded by iron cages and power grids, and the lions, tigers, zebras, and rhinoceros inside are scattered. The only way to get in is to take a sightseeing bus provided by the zoo with reinforced iron windows.
Ji An and Fat Tiger stopped outside the iron cage power grid and watched for a while, and he warned the little fat man: "You can do it anywhere else, and you will definitely not go in here, otherwise you will become a lump of poop when I see you again." ”
The fat tiger tilted his head to look at Ji An, and it was obvious that he didn't understand it.
Ji An didn't say more, rubbed the fat tiger's head, and continued to drive forward, he believed that the smart and clever little fat man would not run in impatiently to find.
In the evening, Ji An returned to the base, preparing to visit his newborn nephew and niece.
At the entrance of the breeding area, he saw the panda with footprints on its face walking in again.
To be honest, Ji An was not worried at all that the old man would notice that the key had been replaced. Even if he found out, he didn't dare to make a noise, his key was originally from the wrong way.
Pulling Zhu Tong, a young breeder passing by, thin and small, with two buck teeth, Ji An pointed to the fake panda that had just entered the breeding area: "What's the matter with the old man? Why can you enter the breeding area?"
Zhu Tong, who has been in the company for less than 3 months, said: "I don't know very well, my master just told me to leave him alone."
In the past two days, he has come in in a panda suit every day, and he doesn't know what he is doing. ”
Ji An raised his eyebrows, stealing the last piece of the puzzle from Fatda, he thought he might have found it.
