To facilitate a simple isolation, Shi Wen specially provided it with a panda enclosure, furnished with bamboo shoots, apples, honey water, and other foods that pandas like to eat, to help it adapt to its new environment.
The little ones from Shi Wen's family were all outside watching the giant panda.
Zhengzheng wasn't shy at all. Perhaps it was used to seeing strangers and unfamiliar animals in the zoo. After entering, it calmly found a corner and lay down.
Shi Wen that it was only its first day, Shi Wen didn't want to disturb it too much, so he gave the little guys a lecture, telling them not to bully the new guest, and then went back.
That evening, after Yan Kexing returned, the two went to the livestock shed to see the giant pandas again.
The giant panda was still in the corner; it had finished its honey water, but hadn't eaten much of the apple or bamboo shoots.
Yan Kexing: "Its condition is better than when we first went to see it."
Shi Wen, "I also think that returning to normal here shouldn't be a problem."
When a giant panda quietly huddles in a corner, it looks quite docile, like a large plush toy.
The two exchanged a few words in hushed tones and then went back inside.
After they left, Zhengzheng looked up and glanced in the direction they had gone, then went back to staying put.
Zhengzheng doesn't have a big appetite, Shi Wen will specially prepare some of its favorite foods to improve its appetite.
At the same time, when taking the other little ones to play on the ranch, Shi Wen would also bring Zhengzheng along.
Generally speaking, animals are more likely to be in better condition when living in groups.
Zhengzheng seems to be more lively now, and as a male giant panda, its aggressiveness has also increased.
That day, Zhengzheng and An Wa got into a fight.
Fortunately, Shi Wen was nearby and pulled them apart as soon as the fight started.
Shi Wen first criticized An Wa, and then went on to criticize Zhengzheng.
Zhengzheng sat there listlessly, his dark eyes looking utterly innocent.
Shi Wen tapped its nose. "Trying to be cute won't work. No more fighting from now on, understand?"
Zhengzheng kept her head down.
Shi Wen, "Seriously, even though you're a panda, An Wa's practically a wolf. You might not be able to win a fight. Next time you get beaten up, I might not be able to come to your rescue in time."
Zhengzheng hugged Shi Wen's leg this time, which seemed like she had agreed.
At this moment Shi Wen especially misses her group of little ones.
Putting aside everything else, they are at least relatively intelligent, and their facial expressions are quite rich.
Shi Wen criticize them or anything, you can tell what they're thinking just by looking at their facial expressions, and you can respond promptly.
Zhengzheng is different. Shiwen Shi Wen spent several days with it but still can't figure it out. It doesn't know what it's thinking or how to read the micro-expressions on its face.
Shi Wen said to Yan Kexing, "I always thought I was pretty good at raising animals, but now it seems it's not me who's good, but rather the little animals at home."
Yan Kexing: "What do you mean by that?"
Shi Wen, "They're quite intelligent and can accurately convey their meaning, so raising them isn't difficult for us."
Yan Kexing: "It's not that bad. There are so many ordinary pigs, cattle, and sheep on the ranch; we have no way of figuring out what they're up to."
Shi Wen blurted out, "But they're more docile."
Giant pandas may look cute, but they are actually not very obedient animals, especially after fighting with An Wa, when their mood became low.
Shi Wen noticed his appetite had decreased, she felt like she was about to have a major headache.
This was truly the first time he had encountered such a picky eater, which completely went against the animal's nature.
As an animal, shouldn't it seize every opportunity to eat when food is available to survive critical moments of food scarcity?
Shi Wen reported the situation to the zoo, who said it was alright and comforted Shi Wen.
The situation hasn't gotten better, but at least it hasn't deteriorated further; its life has been saved.
Okay, the zoo's requirements are really low.
Shi Wen they continue to raise giant pandas.
After learning that the giant pandas were here, Ge Yue and his team volunteered to come and help take care of the animals every week.
They say they take care of the animals, but in reality, they come over every week to pet the giant pandas.
Zhengzheng isn't particularly irritable and won't suddenly attack humans. Plus, there are so many little guys around it, Shi Wen tells them to pet it as much as they want when Cong Zai is around, but not to touch it when Cong Zai isn't.
Ge Yue: "When Cong Zai isn't around, can we pet the other little guys?"
Shi Wen looked up and glanced at him. "Weren't you just casually masturbating?"
Ge Yue a pang of guilt. "No, not really."
Shi Wen, "Just last week, when we were distributing honey water, you saved half a cup of your own to bribe the White Tiger, making it play with you for half an hour."
"And Lin Chengqian Shi Wen out, "You saved your honey water to feed the little fox and the little snow leopard several times. The little snow leopard's teeth are practically cavities from all that feeding."
Lin Chengqian exclaimed immediately, "Really? Such a small snow leopard already has cavities?"
"What do you think?" Shi Wen at him. "The little snow leopard doesn't brush its teeth, and it eats so many sweets. Who else would it get cavities if not it?"
Lin Chengqian shrank back. "Then I'll feed him less next time."
Shi Wen, "Don't feed less, just don't feed at all."
Under his gaze, Lin Chengqian and Ge Yue nodded hastily.
A giant panda came to our house, Shi Wen specifically asked around and bought a batch of bamboo.
Although their latitude is relatively high and the weather is quite cold in winter, the cold-resistant bamboo cultivated locally can still survive winters with temperatures dropping to minus twenty degrees Celsius.
Shi Wen about planting some bamboo, so that it will be much more convenient to eat bamboo shoots and the like in the future.
He bought a truckload of bamboo to plant, all of them were old bamboo with roots.
