Summarize the following:
Just about any spicy materials will keep rabbits away. Always dilute them in soapy water to minimize harm, and so they will stick to the plant. Here are appropriate amounts to add to 1 gallon (4 liters) water:  Five to eight cloves crushed garlic 1–2 tsp (5–10 mL) crushed red pepper A few grinds of black pepper A mixture of the above may work best of all. Rabbits dislike the smell of raw eggs, although they may get used to it over time. Shake the egg in a spray bottle with a wide nozzle and spray it onto the plants or around the border to your garden. This may attract other pests, such as ants. These are available from gardening supply stores, for sprinkling on the soil around plants. Made from ground animal parts, they may keep rabbits away. These break down quickly when wet, so they are more effective in dry conditions.  Blood meal adds nitrogen to the soil, promoting green, leafy growth. Apply only during the growing season, and never to legumes.  Bone meal adds phosphorus to the soil, promoting root health. This is usually not necessary in home garden soil, and may even be detrimental if phosphorus is already high. Do not apply to Protea plants. Spraying predator urine around a garden can keep rabbits and other prey animals away. How effective this is varies greatly depending on predator species, rabbit species, diet of the predator, and other difficult-to-find variables. Unfortunately, research on this topic is limited, but coyote and fox urine are the most commonly used options. You may wish to research the company before buying the product, to find out whether the urinating animals were humanely treated. Most of these products use similar ingredients to those described above. Check the label for information on weather resistance, since this is the main advantage over home solutions. This is usually an unreliable solution, and requires either replacing all tasty plants or planting a barrier around the entire garden. Some plants will still be eaten by young rabbits, or certain rabbit species.  Ideally, get specific advice from a local university extension, to find plants that grow in your climate and deter rabbit species in your area. Yarrow, foxglove, digitalis, lilac, elderberry, and yucca have all been described as rabbit-proof plants — but again, this is no guarantee.

summary: Use other spicy materials. Consider raw eggs. Try blood meal or bonemeal. Purchase predator urine. Try commercial organic products. Plant rabbit-resistant plants.

Turn the stove on to medium-high heat and allow the water to simmer. It will take between 6 to 8 minutes for the water to come to a simmer. Allowing the water to simmer will cook your sausages all the way through and keep them tender. The sausages will still look gray on the outside, but will have no pink tint on the inside. Any juices from the sausage will be clear. Turn the burner to high heat and allow the oil to gently simmer. They will not need to sit in the oil for long since they are already cooked. Once they have reached your desired golden color, remove them from the heat to avoid drying them out or becoming overdone. The sausages can be placed in the pan whole, cut lengthwise, cut in half, or cut into chunks.

summary: Add the sausages to a large saucepan filling it with enough cold water to cover them. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the core temperature is at least 160 °F (71 °C). Grease the bottom of a separate pan with enough oil to coat it entirely. Place your sausages in the hot oil to sear them.

Transfer the hamster from the carrier to the cage, which should be set up beforehand. Leave the hamster alone after you put it in its cage, so that it can explore its new home and become used to it. After about 48 hours (2 days), slowly get to know how your hamster likes to be handled. Start by sitting down and talking to the hamster, in a calm, soothing voice, to get it used to your presence. When the hamster is awake and alert (so evening is the best time), try reaching in to stroke it.  Hamsters are not aggressive by nature and do not usually attack unless provoked. However, they do have poor eyesight, so if your hand smells of food they may bite a finger assuming it's something to eat. So wash your hands first. For this reason, it is a bad idea to hand feed hamsters, since they can confuse where the smell of the food is coming from and accidentally nibble your finger. One option is to place a treat in the cage, (on a spoon) and whilst the hamster is eating his treat, gently stroke him. Take it slowly, let the hamster become used to you. Have short, non-aggressive interactions with the hamster several times a day until your pet is comfortable with you. Once the hamster accepts you stroking it, try scooping it gently into the palm of your hand. This may take a long time with aggressive females, but tame, friendly males will allow you to hold them after just a few days.  The ideal time to wait before picking up your hamster and taking it out of the cage to play is two to three weeks. To hold your hamster, slide one hand under it and cup the other round the front of its body. Ensure you are gentle. You should never start by picking your hamster up! Try holding out treats for it. If the hamster is too shy to take it from your hands, just put the treat down and wait for the hamster to take it.
summary: Bring your Syrian hamster home straight from the store without detours. Start to interact with your hamster. Give your hamster time to get used to you before attempting to pick it up.
