"Every corner is so good for taking pictures!" ......

Recently, there is an alternative pet cafe on fire!

Rabbit, shaved ice and soda "summer limited" popular store name "Rabbit Moon House", located in an alley on South Shaanxi Road. After arriving, I found out that this alley is the location of the former residence of Feng Zikai. However, the former residence is no longer open to the public.

There is a small garden outside the store, with many dolls hanging on the wall made of greenery, and when you push open the wooden door through the garden, there are cups and rabbit ornaments on a window, full of a nostalgic "atmosphere".

Although tucked away in the alley, it is still close to full on weekday afternoons, which is a booming business. The animals of the day are two pygmy rabbits and an arc mongoose, welcoming friends of all sizes.

There is no admission fee, only the purchase of food and drinks. The shaved ice is a must-try, especially the summer-only "Kikujiro's Summer", which is made from watermelon and milk and resembles a small yellow volcano. The soda drinks are also very good, and the honeydew melon soda with vanilla ice cream provides a double dose of refreshment. It is worth mentioning that the size of the shaved ice "large amount of full", two people only need to order one, and per capita about 30 yuan can have a good jerk rabbit experience.

And, rabbits are very good jerks. As the old saying goes, "a rabbit is as quiet as a virgin", but the dwarf rabbits are so determined that they can even stay still in the basket and provide full companionship; their fur is also very soft and feels much better than Angora rabbits.

What is the interaction between the two rabbits like? They even stick together! The sweetness level is superb!

But be careful, try to keep the rabbits away from the watermelon shaved ice, or it will be time for the rabbits to eat the most adorable sowing. Watching rabbits use their teeth to gnaw a row of teeth marks on the edge of the watermelon rind ...... pygmy rabbits are indeed excellent shopkeepers, and the trip was not a loss. However, we also found some shortcomings in this experience - the main problem is the poor care of foreign pets and the interference of photo punch cards. For example, the poor little arc mongoose, which most people were afraid to touch because it was unfamiliar, couldn't behave as well as the rabbits, and was kept in a cage, squeaking, and barking.

Anxiety is also caused by the fear of rabbits but also come to take pictures of the punch card enthusiasts. Faced with her boyfriend's leap of faith, she screamed, "If you keep doing that, I'm going to break up with you!" Finally, she tiptoed, dodged left and right, and finished the photo with difficulty at a distance of ten centimeters from the rabbit.

In the end, the 8 tables here could only share 1-2 rabbits, and the number of rabbits was not enough. In response to some users' comments, the store's response in the public review was "We upgraded, it's not (just) a rabbit cafe anymore."

Which pets are suitable for business and which are "forced" to operate this kind of cute pet drink store, small animals are not only the signboard but also the star. As for the shaved ice and retro decoration, is to provide enough "sense of atmosphere" to attract more people who love to take pictures. For people who like animals, happy animals are really happy. If the animal is not happy, more interaction is no "soul". Relatively speaking, the situation of rabbits in this store makes people feel more at ease, and even have a kind of "come as you are" temperament. The two rabbits operating on that day are expensive pygmy rabbits, the rabbit's father, Captain America, is worth 20,000 yuan and is said to have shot commercials with Ouyang Nana. It weighs only about one kilogram and has golden hair and a rounded body shape. Sitting in the store, we even worried for the shopkeeper, "What if the rabbit runs out?" "Maybe we'll mobilize an alcove to help catch it."

Grey's bunny is a daughter, perhaps because she is still young, and has a more lively personality. Because it is an imported second-generation rabbit, the fur is also relatively ordinary, worth thousands of dollars.

This reporter has visited a group of "jerk rabbit museums" in 2020 - Welcome to Shanghai Moe rabbit park experience, this store is still in business, it can be seen that the rabbit curry business situation can be very good, even better than the competition The cat café is white-hot.

How to make money? In addition to selling drinks, they also sell rabbits. The clerk at Rabbit Moon House told us, "We have a rabbit hutch behind us and raise a lot of rabbits." His dwarf rabbits are all very expensive, with prices ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, and even so, rabbits are sold from time to time. In Moe's Rabbit Paradise, pygmy rabbits, lop-eared rabbits, and Dodger rabbits are also sold to the public, with prices ranging from hundreds to thousands.

Why are some rabbits particularly expensive? Because they are imported. Imported rabbits have a "generation" and a "generation two", and the price will be "diluted" with the generation. Rabbits are undoubtedly a more traditional pet species, but they are becoming more and more diverse and sophisticated around them. According to the publication of "The single economy in the era of living alone" by Guoyuan Securities, more than 70% of the post-90s living alone said they have pets, among which dogs and cats are the most popular types, followed by fish, rabbits, and hamsters.

However, things don't look so good for the arc mongoose. Many people see the arc mongoose outside the zoo for the first time, and there is not enough willingness to keep exotic pets. Regarding whether the arc mongoose can be kept at home, unexpectedly and reasonably, there is no problem for now. It is not an endangered animal, not a protected animal, and not one of the three. Skunks, ferrets, velvet skunks, yellow-bellied skunks, and yellow weasels are all exotic pets, so please do not touch them. In Baidu postings, there are people selling arc mongooses for 7,500 yuan a piece. When other people asked if they were selling the mongoose, his answer was "I can't play because I've upgraded".

However, it is best not to keep just one mongoose. The mongoose in the store is kept in a cage on the lower level, standing and spinning around and screaming all the time. Whenever a customer passes by, it comes up to him, as if asking for help. In cartoons, Timon (the arc mongoose) always plays with Pumbaa (the African warthog). At the zoo, many people have seen a group of mongooses together, working together but not without a lot of rivalries. It's not a good idea to live alone.

For the shopkeeper, although exotic pets can attract a lot of onlookers, it is difficult to profit from the sale of exotic pets.

Is it an exotic pet cafe or an indoor zoo? These issues must be noted in the public review search of various small animal names, you will find a variety of stores.

On Changle Road, there is a "Raccoon Relief Shop", where "dry noodles" are served by small raccoons.

On Xietu Road, there is a secret room, "Wonderful Space and Time Cave", with a water dolphin in town.

On Guoshun East Road, there is a "Launch Garden" with alpacas, meerkats, chinchillas, lizards, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats .......

The most lively one is University Road, where the "Tyrannosaurus Tavern" has lizards, snakes, groundhogs, and dogs, and "Make Friends With It" has cats, dogs, ducks, hedgehogs, and snakes, not to mention the usual cat and dog curry.

In Shanghai and around the country, the pet curry world is "rolled" species, and more and more rolled! It can be said that this new type of pet cafe imitates the model of foreign countries. For example, Japan's foreign pet cafe has always been known for "dare to raise anything", including snake theme cafe, bird cafe, and hedgehog cafe. The popular one in Korea is the small raccoon cafe.

But while they are "healing", they also have certain pitfalls. For one thing, not all animals are suitable for business in pet cacafesThe "owl shopkeeper" in Japan's owl cafe often appears to be a stress reaction, a pet cafe in Chongqing has appeared in the national second-class protected animal panda, subject to investigation by the relevant authorities.

Secondly, the richer the variety of animals, the more difficult it is to maintain hygiene. If you are allergic, you may be allergic to animal hair floating in the air. Chen Wenjing, vice president of Nanjing Red Cross Hospital, also reminded the public that "the risk of zoonotic diseases is greater for humans in eating places." In the end, animals are not cute because they are rare, they are cute because they are happy.
