ʻO ka honu hōkū (Geochelone elegans) a i ʻole honu hōkū ʻ Indiannia i makemake ʻia e nā poʻe honu manu kuhukukū. He liʻiliʻi ʻo ia, ʻoluʻolu a, ʻo ka mea nui loa, nani loa.
Me nā kaha melemele e holo ana i ke kua ʻeleʻele ma ka pūpū, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kuhukukū nani loa i mālama ʻia i ka pio. Eia hou, ʻaʻole lākou he teritori, hiki i nā wahine like ʻole a me nā kāne ke noho pū kekahi me kekahi, me ka hakakā ʻole.
Noho i ke kūlohelohe
No India, Sri Lanka a me Pakistan hema ka honu. ʻOiai, ma ke ʻano maʻamau, ʻaʻohe ʻohana poʻomanaʻo, ʻokoʻa iki i ka helehelena i ko lākou wahi noho. He pūkoʻa kolu nani loa kā lākou, me kahi hiʻohiʻona nani ma luna ona, a no laila ka inoa o ka honu.
Ana, wehewehe a me ke ola ʻana
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne a hiki i ka lōʻihi o 25 knm, a ʻo nā kāne he 15 wale nō. Hiki i nā wahine ke hōʻea i 36 knm, a me nā kāne 20 cm.
Loli ka ʻikepili o ke ola, akā ʻae ka poʻe āpau e ola ana ka honu stellate i kahi manawa lōʻihi. Ehia? 30 a 80 paha makahiki. Eia kekahi, ma ka home ola lākou i hōʻoia ʻia ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou e ʻeha i nā mea ʻaihue, ahi a me nā kānaka.
Mālama a mālama
Ma ke ʻano he terrarium no kahi honu, kūpono kahi aquarium, ʻo kahi pahu nui paha. Pono kahi mau honu makua i kahi terrarium ma ka liʻiliʻi he 100 knm ka lōʻihi a me 60 cm ka laulā.
ʻAʻole mea nui ke kiʻekiʻe, inā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hele i waho a hiki ʻole i nā holoholona holoholona ke kiʻi iā lākou.
ʻOi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka leo ʻoi aku, no ka mea e ʻae iā ʻoe e hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine i kāu pā honu. A koʻikoʻi ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ko lākou olakino.
Ke kukui a me ka hoʻomehana
ʻO ka mahana optimum no ka mālama ʻana i nā honu hoku ma waena o 27 a me 32 kekelē. Me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa, pono ka mahana ma 27 mau kekelē.
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka wela kiʻekiʻe a me ka mahana haʻahaʻa he mea make loa ia no lākou, ʻoiai he holoholona tropical kēia.
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana i ka terrarium, ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana, ʻaʻole ma kahi ʻē aʻe.
ʻAʻole lākou hibernate e like me nā ʻano honu ʻē aʻe, no laila ʻaʻohe o lākou hiki ke hoʻomanawanui i ka hoʻoluʻu wā lōʻihi. Eia nō naʻe, inā i ka pō ʻaʻole e hāʻule ka mahana o kou hale ma lalo o 25 kekelē, a laila hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia ka hoʻomehana ʻana i ka terrarium i ka pō.
He mea nui ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana o nā kukuna ʻo Ultraviolet i ke olakino o kou kuhukukū ke ʻoluʻolu ia i ka calcium a me ka huaola D3.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia ma lalo o ke kauwela, ʻo ka lā wela ke ala ʻoi loa e loaʻa ai nā kukuna UV, akā i ko mākou aniau ʻaʻole maʻalahi ia. No laila i ka terrarium, ma ka hoʻohui o nā kukui hoʻomehana, pono ʻoe e hoʻohana i nā kukui uv no nā kuhukukū.
Me ka ʻole o lākou, hōʻoia ʻia ʻoe e loaʻa i kahi honu maʻi i ka manawa, me nā pilikia nui loa. Pono nō hoʻi e hāʻawi iā ia i kahi hānai keu me ka puna a me ka huaola D3, i ulu ʻoi ʻo ia i ka wikiwiki.
I loko o kahi terrarium me kahi honu hōkū, aia kahi e hoʻomehana ai kahi o nā ipukukui a me nā kukui uv, aia ka mahana ma ia wahi ma kahi o 35 kekelē.
Akā, aia kekahi mau wahi anuanu e hiki ai iā ia ke hōʻoluʻolu. He kūpono ia e hana i kahi keʻena wai maʻa nona.
He aha ia? Elementary - kahi hale me ka lumu pulu, ka honua a i ʻole ka mauʻu i loko. Hiki iā ia ke lilo i kekahi mea: pahu, pahu, ipuhao. He mea nui e hiki i ka honu ke piʻi manuahi i loko o waho o ia a ʻūlū ia.
Wai
Inu nā kuhukukū India i ka wai mai nā ipu, no laila e hoʻokomo ʻia kahi mea inu, ipu kīʻaha a mea ʻē aʻe i ka terrarium. ʻO ka mea nui ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka wai i loko o kēlā me kēia lā i ʻole e loaʻa ka honu mai ka honu mai nā meaola i komo hewa ʻole i loko o ka wai.
E ʻauʻau ʻia nā kuhukukū ʻōpio i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha manawa i kēlā me kēia pule i ka wai mehana, kūmau. ʻO kahi laʻana, i kahi kīʻaha, ʻo ka mea nui ka poʻo ma luna o ka wai. Inu nā honu hōkū i kēlā manawa kēia manawa, a ʻo ka defecate hoʻi i loko o ka wai, me he mea lā he keʻokeʻo, pasty mass. No laila mai makaʻu, maikaʻi nā mea āpau.
Hanai ana
ʻO nā honu hōkū nāhelehele, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻai lākou i ka ʻīlio a i ʻole ka pōpoki meaʻai, akā makemake lākou i ka mauʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka mauʻu momona. ʻAi ʻia nā ʻano mea kanu, nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu, a hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia i kahi hānai hānai.
He aha kāu e hānai ai?
- kāpiki
- kāloti
- ʻumeke
- zucchini
- alfalfa
- dandelions
- lau lau lettuce
- ʻāpala
Eia hou, hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi i kekahi mau manawa:
- ʻāpala
- ʻōmato
- meloni
- ʻāpala
- strawberry
- maiʻa
Akā, me hua pono ʻoe e akahelee hōʻalo ai i ka palahī. Hoʻopili mua ʻia ka hānai a lawelawe ʻia i kahi papa haʻahaʻa, a laila hemo ʻia mai ka terrarium.
E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, pono nā calcium a me nā wikamina hou aʻe, akā ʻo ke ala maʻalahi loa e hana i kēia me ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā meaʻai kalepa no nā kuhukukū ʻāina i ka papaʻai.
Nā maʻi o nā honu stellate
ʻO ka hapanui pinepine, ʻeha lākou i nā pilikia hanu, ke kū nei ka manu kuhukukū a i ʻole i kahi kikoʻī.
ʻO nā ʻōuli ka puʻupuʻu o ka hanu, ka waha hāmama, nā maka puffy, ka lethargy, a me ka nalo ʻole o ka makemake. Inā haʻalele ʻia ke ʻano, hiki i nā pilikia ʻoi aku ka nui e like me ka niumonia ke ukali.
Inā hoʻomaka ka maʻi e hoʻomohala, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo e hoʻonui i ka hoʻomehana ʻana ma ke kau ʻana i kahi ipukukui a i ʻole moena hoʻomehana. Hiki ke hāpai i ka mahana i mau kekelē ʻelua e wikiwiki i ka ʻōnaehana pale a kōkua iā ia e hakakā i ka maʻi.
Pono e mālama i ka terrarium maloʻo a wela, a pale i ka make wai o ka honu, e ʻauʻau iā ia i ka wai mehana.
Inā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻole ke ʻano, a laila pono i kahi papa o nā lāʻau ʻalopika, ma lalo o ka nānā ʻana a kahi kauka holoholona. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻimi koke ʻana i ke kōkua o ke kauka holoholona, i mea e hōʻalo ai i nā pilikia.
Hoopii
Hūnā nā honu ʻano hōkū i nā pūpū ke hoʻopilikia ʻia. Eia naʻe, i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa ʻike lākou i ka mea nāna lākou a holo wikiwiki e kiʻi i ka meaʻai.
Mai hāʻawi iā lākou i nā keiki a hoʻoweliweli pinepine iā lākou i mea e hoʻonāukiuki ʻole ai.
