He mau holoholona kaulana nā mea kolo no nā kumu he nui, ʻaʻole kūpono nā mea āpau. Makemake kekahi poʻe e loaʻa kahi holoholona ʻokoʻa e like me ka mea kolo. Manaʻo hewa kekahi poʻe he haʻahaʻa ke kumukūʻai o ka mālama holoholona no nā mea kolo ma mua o nā ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki. Nui ka poʻe i loaʻa ʻole ka manawa e hāʻawi aku i ka ʻīlio a i ʻole ka pōpoki e hauʻoli ana i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻano 'maintenance-free' o ka nahesa, moʻo, a honu paha. ʻO kēia mau mea kolo, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole mālama ʻole ʻia.

"ʻO nā mea kolo, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole mālama ʻole ʻia."

Ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana i kahi mea kolo, e noiʻi maikaʻi i nā ʻano āpau o ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kolo e like me ka mea kolo e kūpono i kou nohona, ka meaʻai kūpono, ka hale kūpono, a me ke ʻano olakino olakino. Pono e hānai ʻia kekahi mau mea kolo kino i nā koʻokoʻo, e like me nā ʻiole a me nā ʻiole, a ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu kekahi poʻe mea holoholona e hana i kēia. No laila, ʻaʻole pono nā mea kolo i nā holoholona no lākou.

E hoʻonaʻauao iā ʻoe iho ma mua o ka hoʻokipa ʻana i kahi mea kolo i loko o kou ʻohana! Ma mua o ka kūʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka lawe ʻana i kahi mea kolo, e nīnau iā ʻoe iho i kēia mau nīnau:

Makemake au i kahi holoholona e nānā wale aku ai, a i ʻole makemake wau e mālama a hoʻopili pū me ia?

ʻOiai ka nui o nā mea kolo, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea i loaʻa i nā pēpē hānau pio, e ʻae i ke kanaka e mālama iā lākou, ʻaʻole naʻe kekahi. ʻAʻole ʻae a makemake paha ka nui o nā ʻano mea kolo ʻē aʻe, e like me ka chameleon, a e hana ʻino a hoʻoikaika nui paha ke hoʻopā ʻia. Ma ke ʻano maʻamau, inā makemake ʻoe i kahi pipi e snuggle me, ʻaʻole no ʻoe ka reptile! Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi holoholona hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻike i loko o kahi noho maoli i hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia, e kahaha i kāna mau ʻano kūlohelohe, a hauʻoli i ke aʻo ʻana e pili ana iā ia, pono ka mea kolo.

ʻEhia ka manawa e hiki ai iaʻu ke hāʻawi i kaʻu pipi?

Pono nā holoholona āpau i ka nānā ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO ka mālama ʻana iā ia, ka lawe ʻana i waho o kona pā e neʻe ai, a i ʻole ke nānā wale ʻana iā ia, pono nā holoholona i ka nānā ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā mai ko lākou mau mea nona. ʻAʻole ʻike ka poʻe nona ka mālama pono ʻole i kā lākou mau holoholona i kēlā me kēia lā i nā hōʻailona mua o ka maʻi a ke haʻalele maoli nei lākou i kā lākou kuleana ma ke ʻano he mea mālama holoholona. ʻO ka poʻe nona ka manaʻo e hoʻokomo i kahi mea kolo i loko o ka hale paʻa a nānā wale iā ia i kekahi manawa pono e noʻonoʻo hou i kā lākou hoʻoholo e hāpai i kēia ʻano holoholona.

Hiki iaʻu ke hāʻawi i ka mālama olakino kūpono?

Pono e nānā ʻia nā mea kolo a pau e ke kauka lapaʻau ʻike reptile ma hope koke o ke kūʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka lawe ʻia ʻana (i loko o 48 mau hola), a laila ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma hope o kēlā. E hoʻokomo ʻia kahi hoʻokolohua hoʻāʻo e like me ka hana koko, ka hoʻāʻo fecal, ka moʻomeheu bacteria, a me nā hihi X. ʻO nā hoʻokolohua olakino maʻamau no kāu mea kolo e hiki ke ʻike mua i ka maʻi. No ka mea, he nui nā holoholona ʻē aʻe he mau mea pio e hūnā i ka maʻi e pale aku ai i ka hopu ʻia ʻana e nā mea ʻaihue, me ka ʻokoʻa loa, ʻaʻole maʻi kēia mau puaʻa (a hōʻike paha i kekahi hōʻailona o ka maʻi) a hiki i ka maʻi LOA a pono e nānā koke i nā holoholona! ʻO ka mālama lāʻau lapaʻau maʻamau, me kahi mea mālama holoholona ʻike, ʻike, hoʻemi nui i ka hiki ke loaʻa ka maʻi a me ka make i loko o kēia mau holoholona (a me ke kumukūʻai holoʻokoʻa o ka mālama olakino). E kamaʻilio me kahi kauka lapaʻau kamaʻāina i nā mea kolo e kūkākūkā i ke kumukūʻai o ka mālama lāʻau lapaʻau maʻamau a ʻōlelo ʻia i nā papa manawa olakino no ka reptile āu e noʻonoʻo nei ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana.

Hiki iaʻu ke hana a kūʻai paha i kahi noho kūpono (enclosure) no kaʻu mea kolo?

No ka nui o nā mea kolo, ma muli o kona nui, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka mua me kahi aquarium aniani 10-galani, kekahi nūpepa a i ʻole nā ​​​​moena pepa ʻē aʻe, kahi kumu wela, a me kahi kumu o ke kukui UV-B.

"ʻO kahi kaiapuni kūpono ʻole kekahi o nā kumu maʻamau i nā pilikia olakino i loaʻa i nā mea kolo pio."

ʻOkoʻa ka nui a me nā mea i loko o ka hale paʻa ma muli o ka nui o ka holoholona, ​​​​nā ʻano, a me ka nui o ke kanaka makua i manaʻo ʻia. ʻO ke kaiapuni kūpono ʻole kekahi o nā kumu maʻamau e hoʻopilikia i nā pilikia olakino i nā mea kolo pio, me ka ʻai pono ʻole.

No ke aha e lawe ai au i kaʻu mea kolo holoholona i ke kauka holoholona no ka hoʻokolokolo inā ʻaʻohe hewa?

E like me nā kānaka a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe, maʻi nā mea kolo, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi ma mua o ka mālama ʻana. Hiki i nā mea kolo ke hūnā i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi No ka mea ma ka nahele, inā hōʻike lākou i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi, e maʻalahi lākou e hoʻouka ʻia e nā mea ʻaihue a i ʻole nā ​​lālā ʻē aʻe o kā lākou hui ponoʻī. No laila, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia kēia mau holoholona i ka maʻi a hiki i ka nui o ka maʻi, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hūnā hou. Hana like nā holoholona kolo. Inā ʻike ʻoe i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi i loko o kāu mea kolo, pono ʻoe e nānā koke iā ia e ke kauka holoholona. Ke kali nei e ʻike inā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea, a i ʻole ka mālama ʻana me nā lāʻau lapaʻau kūʻai ʻole, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea i kūʻai ʻia ma nā hale kūʻai holoholona, ​​hoʻopaneʻe wale i ka loiloi kūpono, ka hōʻoia pololei, a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka manawa kūpono. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻopaneʻe ʻana o ka mālama ʻana i nā pili holoholona pipiʻi a me ka make pono ʻole paha o kahi holoholona kolo. Hiki i nā mea lapaʻau ke hana i nā mea he nui e kōkua ai i ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kolo maʻi, akā he mea koʻikoʻi ka hana mua.

ʻOiai ʻo nā loina o ka hōʻoia ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi like ʻole me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i ke ʻano o ka holoholona, ​​aia nā ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o nā mea kolo, nā manu, nā mammals liʻiliʻi, nā ʻīlio, a me nā pōpoki. ʻO ke kauka lapaʻau wale nō me ka ʻike i ka mālama ʻana i nā mea kolo e pono ke nīnau ʻia no ka ʻōlelo lapaʻau a ʻokiʻoki paha i kēia mau holoholona ʻokoʻa.

He aha ka mea e pili ana i ka huakaʻi holoholona holoholona mua no kahi mea kolo?

I loko o 48 mau hola ma hope o kou kūʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana o kahi mea kolo, pono ke nānā ʻia kāu pipi e ke kauka lapaʻau ʻike reptile. I ka wā o ke kipa ʻana, e hana ana kāu kauā holoholona i kahi hoʻokolokolo kino, me ka loiloi kaumaha, a e ʻimi i nā mea ʻino. Nānā ʻia ka puaʻa no nā hōʻailona o ka dehydration a i ʻole ka ʻai ʻole. E nānā ʻia kona waha no nā hōʻailona o ka stomatitis infectious (he maʻi waha), a e hana ʻia kahi hoʻāʻo fecal e nānā i nā maʻi ʻōpū. ʻAʻole like me ka hapa nui o nā holoholona ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea kolo ke hoʻoheheʻe mau i nā manawa a pau, a ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i kahi mea kolo e hoʻoheheʻe ma ke kauoha (ʻoiai he nui nā mea e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi laʻana i makemake ʻole ʻia inā huhū!). Inā ʻaʻole he mea hou ka laʻana fecal, e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻike ʻike liʻiliʻi. I kekahi manawa, hiki i kāu kauka lapaʻau ke hana i kahi holoi colonic, e like me ka enema, no ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi laʻana diagnostic e nānā pono ai i nā parasite kūloko. ʻO ka pinepine, e lawe mai kāu kauā holoholona iā ʻoe i kahi laʻana fecal ma hope o ka haʻalele mua ʻana o ka pipi ma ka home. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka huakaʻi lāʻau lapaʻau he nīnau a pane paha, no ka mea, makemake kāu kauka holoholona e aʻo iā ʻoe e pili ana i ka ʻai a me ka mālama pono. ʻAʻole pono nā lāʻau lapaʻau no nā mea kolo.

E like me nā ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki, pono e nānā ʻia nā mea kolo holoholona ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i kēlā me kēia makahiki, inā ʻaʻole i ka hapalua makahiki ke oʻo lākou, a pono e hoʻāʻo mau ʻia ko lākou waihona no nā parasites i kēlā me kēia manawa.
