Kaiapuni waiwai no ka popoki: hānai

ʻO kekahi o nā mea o ka maikaʻi o nā pōpoki ʻo ka mālama ʻana i nā kūʻokoʻa ʻelima. Aia ma waena o lākou ke kūʻokoʻa mai ka pōloli a me ka make wai. Pehea e hānai ai i nā pōpoki i olakino a hauʻoli?

Hānai ʻia nā pōpoki ʻāina i 2 a 3 mau manawa i ka lā a me he mea lā ua hoʻololi maikaʻi ʻia i kēia ʻano. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hānai ʻana i nā pōpoki ma nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi, akā pinepine (Bradshaw and Thorne, 1992). He nui nā mea nona ka ʻōlelo ʻaʻole hiki ke hiki i kēia ma ka home, a ʻo ka loaʻa ʻole o ka meaʻai i piha i ka momona, ʻo ia ka nui o nā pilikia, me ke olakino. He aha ka hana?

Aia nā ala e hoʻonui ai i ke kaiapuni no kahi pōpoki e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻonui i ka manawa o ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai. Eia kekahi laʻana, hiki ke waiho ʻia kahi ʻāpana meaʻai i loko o kahi pahu me nā lua kahi e unuhi ai ka pōpoki i nā ʻāpana pākahi (McCune, 1995). Hiki iā ʻoe ke hūnā i nā ʻāpana meaʻai no kāu pōpoki e ʻike ai, e hoʻohauʻoli i ka hānai ʻana a me ka paipai ʻana i ka purr e ʻimi.

He mea nui hoʻi e hoʻonohonoho pono i ka wai o ka pōpoki. Makemake pinepine nā pōpoki e inu ʻaʻole ma kahi e ʻai ai, akā ma kahi ʻokoʻa loa. No laila, pono e kū nā kīʻaha me ka wai ma nā wahi he nui (inā hele ka pōpoki i loko o ka pā, a laila ma ka hale a ma ka pā).

Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Schroll (2002) makemake nā pōpoki e pohō liʻiliʻi ke inu a makemake i ka wai kahe, ʻo ia ke kumu e hopu ai ka nui o nā purrs i nā hāʻule mai kahi pā. A maikaʻi inā loaʻa kahi manawa e hoʻonohonoho ai i kahi mea e like me kahi punawai liʻiliʻi me ka wai inu no ka pōpoki.
