The survey shows that among the students who raise honey bags in Wuhan universities, 65% are planted on short video platforms, 25% are affected by classmates, and 10% are out of scientific research interests.

• It is worth noting that 15% of students use honey bags as "social currency" to exchange for attention through rare products;

• Some biology students (7%) tried artificial breeding, but the lack of professional guidance led to a survival rate of less than 30%.

5. Social Thoughts Behind the Event

This phenomenon reflects the demand for personalized companionship of contemporary college students, but also exposes problems such as lack of supervision in the foreign pet market and lagging campus management. It is worth noting that the transaction volume of honey bags in Wuhan on second-hand platforms has increased by 210% in two weeks, with prices ranging from 500-1,500 yuan. Some merchants are marketing under the banner of "dormitory invisible feeding package".

Experts remind that honey bags can live up to 12-15 years, and students may face the dilemma of abandoning their care during the graduation season. It is recommended that pet lovers consume rationally, and the school establishes a more complete pet management system to avoid the continuous spread of the chaos of "flying squirrels".
