Chapter 21: Don't Cry, I'll Feed You Right Now!
Fang Ye took the lid of the box aside and put it down gently, not daring to breathe too hard, for fear of disturbing the little white tiger who was still sleeping.
The white fur of the little white tiger is covered with stripes like ink outlines, which has a wonderful charm that makes people reluctant to take their eyes off. Looking down closely, you can even see its body rising and falling weakly with its breathing.
Fang Ye fell in love with the little white tiger at first sight!
Involuntarily stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, but suddenly reacted to something and stopped moving.
I went to the bathroom and put on soap, washed my hands carefully, and wiped them clean with a towel.
Only then did he put his finger into the wooden box and lovingly swiped over the back of the little white tiger, feeling the temperature of life it exuded.
The little white tiger is still with his eyes closed, sleeping deeply, which makes people feel pity.
[Bengal tiger: unnamed.]
Age: 8 days (pup)
Mood: Sleepy/Calmγ
Fang Ye passed under its belly with one hand, supported his hips with one hand, and hugged it steadily: "Visually, the body length is about 40cm, right?" Weigh 1 kg? β
This has to be measured carefully.
Tape measures and electronic scales are common things used at zoos, and he has them in his office.
Body length literally is the length of an animal's body. From the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, from the tip of the nose to the root of the tail, from the neck to the root of the tail, there is no right or wrong, just look at the specific situation.
Fang Ye calculated from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, straightened the tail of the little white tiger, and measured it to be 47cm!
It is longer than what he visually measured, and the tail alone is 15 cm, which is a third of the body length.
The tail of an adult tiger is thick and powerful, which not only plays a balancing role in movement, but is also a powerful weapon in attack.
However, the little white tiger's tail is still very weak, and the end is as slender as chopsticks.
I put a towel on the electronic scale and put the little white tiger on it.
The weight is 1330 grams.
For an 8-day-old Menghu cub, this is considered a normal and healthy weight range!
Fang Ye kissed the little white tiger on the forehead, and a smile appeared on his face: "Cute little guy, what should I name you?" β
Thinking about it like this, I subconsciously looked at the root of its tail.
Well, there's a ball, it's a male tiger!
"If you are a male tiger, give it a name with a stronger male breath, strong? Thunder? Down? Hmm, it's hard to decide...... Or do you want netizens to brainstorm ideas? But let netizens choose a name, they will definitely think of some very sand sculpture names......"
Fang Ye fell into deep thought for a moment.
Choosing a name is a difficult job!
Just thinking about it.
"Wow."
With a faint cry, Fang Ye suddenly felt that the little white tiger in his hand began to writhe restlessly.
The cry of the little tiger is actually similar to the crying of a human baby, it is all "wow, wow, wow".
Looking down, the little white tiger had half-opened his eyes, twisted his head, and looked around in confusion, as if he was looking for something.
Its eyeballs are blue-gray in color, and seem to be covered with a layer of fog, which looks somewhat blurry and not very clear.
Tiger cubs can open their eyes at 8-10 days of life, but at this time they still have no vision and cannot see anything.
"Little one, what's wrong? Are you hungry? β
"Wow." The little white tiger barked weakly again.
Fang Ye didn't dare to slack off, and used the Eye of Observation to check out more detailed information.
[Bengal tiger: unnamed.]
Mood: Urgent! Urgent!
Health status: Hungry, craving for milk. Suggestion:
1. Look for medium and large dogs with docile temperament and just given birth, such as shepherd dogs as the stepmother of tiger cubs for lactation.
2. Use milk powder, according to the ratio of 1 spoonful of milk powder and 30ml of water, and carry out artificial lactation of tiger cubs. It is recommended to use goat milk powder for puppies, in which protein, fat, taurine, vitamin E and other components are better than human infant milk powder, and nutrition can meet the growth and development needs of young tigers. If you continue to breastfeed with infant formula, you may experience extensive hair loss.
3. Choose a room with good ventilation and sunshine conditions as the nursery room, keep the room temperature at about 28 degrees, and clean and disinfect every day ......]
The various recommendations are very detailed!
Including how to feed, how to care, what kind of environment to provide, etc.
"Fortunately, there is an eye of observation...... Fang Ye couldn't help but rejoice, there are so many ways to raise a tiger cub, if he really feeds the tiger cub and dehairs it in a large area, then not only will the tiger cub suffer, but he will also feel distressed and guilty.
The panel of the little white tiger flickered, and a new message appeared: "Ding! Detected that the host has a prop [Guardian Elixir], which can be mixed with 3ml at each feeding to help the cub grow healthily! β
"That's right!"
Fang Ye reacted, the newborn tiger cub was in need of immunity, and this was the time when it was the smallest, which was also conducive to the effect of the Guardian Elixir.
In fact, for mammalian cubs, including human infants, the best way to boost immunity is to drink the mother's **.
Especially the colostrum a few days after giving birth, there are so many antibodies in it!
However, for a while, I can't find a suitable nurse for the little one.
Having said that, since breast milk is the best, why do many animals still use artificial feeding of their young?
Because some animals, especially first-time mothers, are not very good at taking care of their children.
For example, when sleeping, turn over and suffocate the cub, which is very unlucky.
Some of them are not very down-to-earth, holding the cub in their mouth, and want to change places, but the strength is not well controlled, and the back of the cub's neck is bitten off.
I even felt that Mimi was uncomfortable being bitten, and I didn't want to feed the baby at all.
In the natural environment of the wild, every animal cub that can grow up is extremely lucky.
Artificial rearing is to reduce the occurrence of such accidents and increase the survival rate of animal cubs.
"Wow, wow."
The little white tiger was anxious to feed, and screamed one after another, his voice a little hoarse.
Fang Ye hurriedly called the blue carp, and his voice was fast: "Hey, blue carp?" Help me go to the warehouse to pick up the bag of milk powder! Goat milk powder! Send it to my office! Bring a baby bottle by the way! β
"Okay!"
On the other end of the phone, Lan Carp listened to the hoarse milk voice of "Wow, Wow, Wow", and wondered a little: "Have any cubs been born?" β
But come to think of it, there aren't any pregnant animals in the zoo lately, right?
Although he was confused, his speed was not slow, and he acted immediately.
Fang Ye was not idle here, and began to boil water.
Since the water in the kettle was boiled before, this time it was just a little hot.
It is not good to boil thoroughly, and you have to wait for the water to warm up.
He stuck his fingers directly into the kettle and silently felt the temperature of the water.
It felt almost hot, so I turned the switch off.
"Little one, don't cry, I'll feed you right away!"
Fang Ye gently stroked and comforted the little white tiger.
Who knows, the little white tiger was stunned and bit his finger!
Let's go it.
The word "Wang" on his forehead was raised, and his little face was serious, and he sucked hard.
However, after sucking hard for a long time, I couldn't suck the milk.
That is, it has only been born for a few days, and its emotions are not very rich. Otherwise, the current mood must be "doubting the tiger"!
