Chapter 411: Dietary Problems
After watching them play for a while, Xia Wencai remembered the food problem of these little guys, first of all, the feeding bottle, the small bottle is there, there are many new useless ones left by Xiaobai before, but the baby elephant is not good, they are not small now, and the amount of food is also large, and the small bottle does not know how many times to feed them.
So Xia Wencai asked Wang Xuebin to go to the town to buy a few big milk bottles, and the pacifiers were better prepared according to the containment of the kind of longer rubber pacifiers, so that they were more convenient to eat.
After Xia Wencai finished explaining, he asked Wang Xuebin to buy some fresh milk when he came back, which was their main food.
Lion cubs are okay, there is no problem with eating milk, but the baby elephant is more squeamish, according to the shelter, every year they treat the baby elephant will die a lot because of food problems, now they are using homemade formula milk, saying that they are more adaptable to this kind of milk, but Xia Wencai is not worried about this, decided to burn fresh milk to feed it, when burning milk to add some space water may be stronger than any formula, and feed two meals first, if the elephant is not adaptable, then change it.
It only took more than an hour, Wang Xuebin rode a horse and hung a large bag of things back, this time he went to buy some melon and fruit food, of course, the main thing is to buy a few large bottles that can hold three liters of milk, which was specially bought in a pet store, and there is a large bucket of milk back, maybe more than 20 catties.
"Brother Wen Cai, I've already greeted them with milk, and I will send about thirty catties here every day, do you see enough?" Wang Xuebin said to Xia Wencai while moving things to the back room.
Xia Wencai thought for a while and said: "It's almost, the little elephants drink about one and a half liters a meal, and it's only about twenty catties when they are fed three times a day, as for those two little guys, they can't eat much at all, so it should be enough."
When the milk bucket was brought in, the four little things all gathered around the milk bucket, Xia Wencai saw this and said: "You guys look at it first, they should be hungry, I'll boil a pot of milk for them first."
After Xia Wencai finished speaking, he carried the milk to the kitchen, poured about ten catties into the pot to help them cook, and it only took ten minutes for the milk to cook.
After taking out two large and two small four milk bottles and cleaning them, Xia Wencai began to fill them with milk, each large bottle contained about 1.6 liters, and the small bottle only contained 300 milliliters.
After trying it and feeling that the temperature was right, Xia Wencai came out with a bunch of milk bottles, and when he saw the milk bottles, the four little things all shook their heads and ran towards Xia Wencai, looking at him with blank eyes.
Wang Xuebin and a few people were also more interested, so they automatically divided the duties, and one person picked up a bottle and began to feed, which is not difficult, and the animal is not as squeamish as a child, and it is easy to be choked.
Jiang Yu and Wang Xuebin were feeding the lion cubs, while Xia Wencai and Wang Xuebin were holding a big bottle and feeding the baby elephants.
After Xia Wencai held the bottle and handed it over, the little elephant skillfully opened his mouth, bit the long pacifier and sucked it hard, and the little nose was also very skillful in holding Xia Wencai's hand, as if he was afraid that the bottle would fall off if he couldn't hold it steadily!
Zhou Daiwei's situation was the same, seeing the baby elephant eating happily, grinning and smirking non-stop, the two little lions were more gentle, and they were honestly held in Wang Xuebin's arms.
Xia Wencai fed for a while, and found that the baby elephant wanted to lift the bottom of the bottle up with his nose, but the little nose was not very flexible, and he tried several times without success.
Zhou Daiwei next to him also raised the bottom of the bottle a little higher after seeing it, so that the two baby elephants ate quickly, it seems that they are usually used to gobbling up like this.
Seeing that they were eating happily and still unsatisfied after eating, they saw that there was still a lot of freshly burned milk left, so Xia Wencai filled two more bottles, and one bottle was about another liter.
After seeing that the two baby elephants were still drunk, Xia Wencai was a little stunned, but then he was a little sad, but after thinking about it, he also knew that there were a lot of animals in the shelter, and their gold expenses were relatively limited, so how could they feed them hard, what they said was only the quota of their shelter, and if they were not full, they might use some omnivorous instead.
The two baby elephants began to walk around the room with a satisfied face after the second meal, and it seemed that they had let go of some after they were full, not as careful as before.
Later, thinking of the explanation of the shelter, Xia Wencai found two small blankets that he bought before to cushion the animals' nests, draped the two baby elephants on their backs, and then found small ropes to help them fix them on their backs to keep warm.
The female elephant is a small red blanket, and the male elephant is a blue one, and the two baby elephants look more cute and cute after putting on the blanket, Xia Wencai couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and take a few photos of them.
Then Xia Wencai looked at the little lion cub after feeding, picked his head and muttered: "The shelter didn't say that the little lion cubs are afraid of the cold, do you want to dress them or something?"
After Xia Wencai finished speaking for a while, Wang Xuebin said: "It's okay to wear them, it's okay if you don't wear them, they are very adaptable, they were distributed all over the world tens of thousands of years ago, maybe there were lions on our mountain before, so there is no problem at all."
After hearing this, Xia Wencai stared at Wang Xuebin with a strange face, as if he knew him for the first time, and said for a long time: "Okay, Xuebin, why didn't I find out that you were so cultured before, you actually know so many things!"
As soon as Xia Wencai finished speaking, Wang Xuebin proudly raised his mobile phone and said, "Baidu's just now!"
Xia Wencai and the others almost fell to the ground directly
Seeing that the two lions were fluffy, it really looked like they shouldn't be afraid of the cold, as long as they prepared a warm nest for them at night, it should be no problem, and Xia Wencai no longer bothered about this problem.
Thinking of the problem of the nest, Xia Wencai and a few people have to do carpentry work again, the lion's house is relatively simple, they are now small, and the house is naturally small, but the two baby elephants are a little more laborious, they are now not small, and there is a little bigger, lest they grow up and have to be demolished and built, so the amount of work will be larger, I don't know if it can be completed today, but it doesn't matter much, anyway, today I am going to let them spend the night in the room, first familiarize yourself with the new environment, Otherwise, if you go out, you may be bullied by the old residents here.
Xia Wencai and a few people went out to work for fear that a few animals would be bored, so they took a football bought for the animals to play and threw it to them, so that they could play by themselves, but when they went out, they felt inappropriate, the little lion is now much smaller than the baby elephant, if they were accidentally trampled to death, they would be wronged, so they were divided into two rooms and played their own!
