Chapter 50 Abused Fennec Fox
Mr. Lin is old, and they were afraid that if Mr. Lin knew about what happened, he would be so angry that something bad would happen. After discussing it with his family, they decided not to tell the old man about this matter.
"Tingting is here. Tingting hasn't come to see grandpa for a long time." Grandpa Lin held a cane in his hand, but his voice was deep and powerful.
Lin Ting quickly stepped forward to support him. "I've been busy lately, so I didn't have time to visit Grandpa. Today I'm here, and I've brought a few little guys to keep Grandpa company."
As soon as Lin Ting finished speaking, Lin Jing cooperated and brought the flight case over.
"These little guys are quite cute. Let the housekeeper take them away and raise them together with Huang Er." Old Master Lin touched the little guys who poked their heads out out of curiosity.
Lin Ting immediately let go of Old Man Lin's hand and took the airline box from Lin Jing's hand. "The housekeeper and I will deliver it together. I haven't seen Huang Er for a long time."
Huang Er is the little fennec fox raised by my grandfather.
Knowing that my grandfather liked fennec foxes, someone airlifted one from the desert to give to him in order to please him.
In order to raise this little fennec fox, Mr. Lin built a greenhouse in a corner of the small garden according to the living habits of the little fennec fox. The greenhouse is filled with fine sand brought from the desert, and the entire garden outside is the little fennec fox's activity area.
"Keep the kitten next to the yellow-ear greenhouse first. I'll ask someone to buy some cat climbing frames and cat toys tomorrow." The housekeeper pointed to the open space next to the greenhouse.
Although it is not as big as the greenhouse of the fennec fox, it has a range of activities.
Lin Ting touched the black cat lying on his shoulder and asked, "How is the environment? Is it okay?"
"Meow, I like it very much. Thank you sister for helping me find a good home for my cub."
The housekeeper spoke tentatively, "Miss, please give me the airline box. I'll help the kitten set up its nest."
Lin Ting handed it over and then noticed the little fennec fox lying on the sand in the greenhouse.
The fennec fox is not big in size, but rather small, with slightly yellowish fur, giving it the feeling of a dirty cat. Its ears are almost as big as its face, and it is not big in size, even less heavy than an adult cat.
The fennec fox rested its chin in the sand, its eyes dull. Seeing that the people did not move forward, it even buried itself in the sand.
'So tired'
'I'm so hungry'
'Paws hurt'
Listening to the fennec fox's subtle voice, Lin Ting couldn't help but frown.
The fennec fox does nothing but eat and sleep, and occasionally digs in the sand in the greenhouse. Grandpa likes the fennec fox very much, so it will never lack food and drink, so how could it be tired and hungry?
Seeing that Lin Ting was still standing there and hadn't left, the fennec fox buried itself in the sand again.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Isn't it possible that the fox is leaving paw prints again? Fox paws are very rubbing against the skin."
Lin Ting looked at the housekeeper who had just finished tidying up the cat's bed. "Uncle Zhao, how has Huang Er been eating recently? Have you taken him for a checkup?"
Butler Zhao stood respectfully nearby and spoke truthfully, "Huang Er has been eating very well lately, eating more than before. Huang Er's food allowance has increased recently, so in addition to the main meal, they also provide him with snacks. Huang Er eats very quickly, so he finished his meal in no time."
"Huang Er ate a lot and slept well. We didn't think there was anything wrong with him, so we didn't send him for a physical examination."
Lin Ting usually likes to tease the fennec fox when he comes here. Butler Zhao doesn't have too many doubts about Lin Ting's problem.
If Huang Er eats well, how can he feel hungry?
"What about Huang Er's daily activity level?" Lin Ting continued to ask.
Butler Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Just like usual, he likes to play in the sand and occasionally comes out to play in the garden for a while to bask in the sun. He hasn't increased his activity much."
"Is there something wrong with Miss Huang'er?" Butler Zhao did not forget that Lin Ting was a pet doctor.
Just playing with sand shouldn't make you so tired that you lie down in the sand and don't want to move.
Or maybe she was too active before and she just couldn't hear Huang Er's thoughts, so she didn't know.
Just as Lin Ting was feeling suspicious, Huang Er poked out two ears from the sand, shook them lightly, and the sand on his ears fell off, and his inner voice sounded at the same time.
'Fake. '
'It's a lie.'
"The fox can only eat three boiled eggs, two apples and a carrot every day."
"Sometimes they can eat bread and fish, but they can only eat one bite of bread before it's snatched away by someone else. The same goes for fish. The fox can smell that someone has snatched away their fish and made it into other delicacies."
"If you don't want to keep a fox, you can release it. You don't have to leave it here to suffer. It can hunt on its own."
"You want to keep a fox, but you don't feed it enough. What a strange human being!"
'People who feed foxes are often vicious to them.'
After hearing the little fennec fox's thoughts, Lin Ting's face suddenly turned cold.
The little fennec fox is so pitiful. If she couldn't understand the voices of animals, who knows how much abuse the little fennec fox would have suffered.
Being hungry means being mistreated by the diet, so what about being tired?
"Uncle Zhao, who usually feeds Huang Er, and how much does Huang Er's food cost every month?" Lin Ting asked with a cold face.
Even if Uncle Zhao didn't understand, he knew something was wrong just by looking at Lin Ting's expression. "Huang Er's monthly food expenses are at least over five thousand. Besides eggs and bread, we also feed him some fruit, and occasionally we import some desert cacti for him to snack on."
"In addition, the most expensive items are the dates and berries flown in from the desert. Occasionally, we also give them some porcupines or pet white mice."
"It's fake, sister, don't believe them."
"I have never seen these foxes before."
"I've never tasted a fox."
The fennec fox was so angry that it crawled out from the sand, then crawled out through the cave entrance, ran straight to Lin Ting, and squeaked to complain.
Lin Ting picked up the fennec fox in his arms.
She listened to Butler Zhao continue, "If we add some insects, the monthly cost will be six thousand."
"Young Miss, you know I've been taking care of Grandpa's daily life. I couldn't handle Huang Er, so I handed him over to Aunt Zhang in the kitchen. I think Aunt Zhang knows how to cook and prepare nutritious food, so taking care of Huang Er shouldn't be a problem. Grandpa even gave Aunt Zhang a 2,000 yuan salary increase for this."
'Bad guy.'
"He didn't feed the fox enough and was often mean to it, calling it a wasteland that only ate and did nothing."
"Don't be angry, sister knows." Lin Ting touched the fur of the fennec fox that was angry and grabbed a handful of cat food from the opened cat food she brought and fed it to the little fennec fox first.
Wild fennec foxes need to hunt and eat whatever prey they can catch, while domesticated fennec foxes can be fed not only bread but also cat food, after all, they don't live in the desert without water.
If you want to improve the diet of the fennec fox, you can feed it some cacti and berries that are unique to the desert. Fruits can replace any condition.
Seeing the cat food in Lin Ting's hand, the extremely hungry little fennec fox stuffed it into its mouth in big mouthfuls, wishing it could turn itself into a hamster.
