Ka mālama ʻana i ka pūpū honu

Ua ʻike paha ʻoe, ʻokoʻa i nā manaʻo stereotypes, ʻo ka pūpū honu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka nui o nā aʻalolo a paʻakikī loa? He kuhi hewa ke manaʻoʻiʻo inā hāʻule ʻoe i ka honu a pā ikaika paha i ka pūpū, e mau ana kona kūpaʻa. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ma lalo o nā kūlana kūpono ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, ʻike pinepine ʻia nā māwae a me nā ʻeha ma ka pūpū, hoʻoweliweli ʻaʻole wale ke olakino, akā ke ola pū kekahi.

He mea nui ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana ʻaʻole ia he pale a i ʻole ka pale kaua hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i ka wā o ka "haʻi", akā he ʻāpana nui o ka iwi o ka honu. ʻO ka pale hope o ka pūpū (carapace) e ulu pū me nā kaʻina hana o ka vertebrae, a ʻo ka pale o ka ʻōpū (plastron) he mau iwi ʻaoʻao i hoʻohui ʻia a me nā ʻāʻī. Hoʻopili pū ʻia nā pale hope a me ka ʻōpū: e ka ligament tendon a i ʻole ka iwi lele (e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka honu). Ma ke ala, aia ka pūpū i nā papa iwi, kahi e hōʻike nei i kahi epidermis i hoʻololi ʻia.

No ka mālamaʻana i ke olakino o ka pūpū,ʻo ka mea mua, pono e nānā i kona kūpaʻa,ʻo ia hoʻi e hoʻopau i ka pilikia o kaʻeha. Inā he mau keiki liʻiliʻi kāu ma ka home, e wehewehe iā lākou ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kīkēkē i ka pūpū, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kau i nā aliʻi ma lalo o ia mea, a pēlā aku. ʻaʻole hāʻule wale. Inā he mau holoholona ʻē aʻe i loko o ka hale (nā pōpoki, nā ʻīlio, nā ferrets, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe), e hōʻoia ʻaʻole lākou e hōʻeha i ka honu.

Inā ʻike ʻoe i nā māwae a i ʻole nā ​​ʻeha ma ka pūpū, e hoʻokaʻaʻike koke i kāu kauka holoholona. He mea weliweli ke ola ka lohi!

ʻO kekahi hana koʻikoʻi ka ʻai kaulike a me nā kūlana kūpono no ka mālama ʻana i ka honu. ʻO ka nele o nā huaora i loko o ke kino a me ka nele o ke kukui UV hiki ke alakaʻi i ka palupalu, ʻili a me ka ʻili ʻana o ka pūpū. Pono ka meaʻai honu i ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe, piha a kaulike, a kūpono hoʻi i nā pono o kēlā ʻano ʻano. Eia kekahi, ʻo kekahi o nā mea e pono ai no ka mālama ʻana i nā honu aquatic a me ka terrestrial ʻo ke kū ʻana o kahi kukui UF. Pono ia no ka hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻana o ka calcium a me ka huaʻa D3, e kōkua i ke olakino o ka pūpū a me nā iwi.

I ka hapanui o nā hihia, ʻaʻohe pili o ka ʻili a me ka ʻili ʻana o ka pūpū me ka molting. ʻAʻole hāʻule ka pūpū honu. I loko o nā honu wai, i ka wā molting, hiki ke ʻike ʻia kahi ʻili liʻiliʻi o ka pūpū, akā pōkole ke ola. I nā hihia ʻē aʻe, hōʻike ka peeling i nā maʻi (no ka laʻana, fungal) a koi i ka mālama ʻana. E kelepona i kāu kauā.

Pono e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka pūpū? I ka wā e pili ana i nā kuhukukū, a laila, ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, ʻo ka ʻauʻau ʻana i kēlā me kēia manawa a me ka pīpī ʻana me ka ʻōmole pīpī (ʻoi aku ma kēia ma ka ʻatikala "") ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻemaʻe o ka pūpū. Hiki ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā mea haumia i ʻike ʻia ma ka pūpū me ka wai maʻemaʻe a, inā pono, ke kopa (ʻo ka mea nui e hōʻoia i ke komo ʻole o ke kopa i nā maka a me ka waha o ka pipi). 

He ʻano ʻano ʻē ka hamo ʻana i ka pūpū o ka honu me ka ʻaila no ka ʻālohilohi a me ka nani. ʻAʻole ikaika mākou e hana i kēia: ua uhi koke ʻia kēlā nani me ka lepo a me ka lepo, a ʻo kēia hui ʻana e lilo i substrate maikaʻi loa no nā ʻano pathogens infectious.

ʻO ka honu wai ʻaneʻane i loko o ka wai, a ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pono e ʻauʻau. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka poʻe nona nā honu aquatic ke kū pinepine nei i kahi pilikia e like me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā algae ma ka pūpū. Inā he liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻohe mea e hopohopo ai.

He aha nā mea e hoʻopili ai i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā algae? Ma waena o lākou: ka maʻemaʻe maikaʻi ʻole, ka wai lepo i loko o ka aquarium, ka nui o ka mālamalama, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. E kuhikuhi ʻo ia i kahi mea hana no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka pūpū a haʻi iā ʻoe pehea e hoʻoponopono ai i nā kūlana no ka mālama ʻana i ka honu.

ʻO ka mālama pono ʻana i kāu pipi a me ka hele ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau i ka manawa kūpono e kōkua iā ʻoe e mālama i ke olakino maikaʻi.

No ka ʻike pilikino i ka ʻenemi, e heluhelu i kā mākou ʻatikala "".

E mālama i kāu mau holoholona!
