He ʻano liʻiliʻi ko Degus me nā chinchillas akā ʻoi aku ka lahilahi o kona huelo.
ano
He aha ke ʻano o ka degus?
He ʻiole ʻo Degus. I ka ʻike ʻia ʻana, manaʻo ʻia he ʻiole a he ʻiole paha. I kekahi poʻe, ua like lākou me nā heʻe. A laila ʻike ʻoe he pili pili loa ka degus i nā puaʻa guinea a me nā chinchillas.
ʻO Octodon kona inoa Latina (ʻo ka huaʻōlelo "octo" ʻo ia ka "ʻewalu" ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania). Ma muli o ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana o nā ʻili nau o ko lākou mau mola i ka helu ʻewalu, ua loaʻa kēia inoa i ka degus.
He 15 kenimika ka lōʻihi o Degus. He 12 kenimika ka lōʻihi o ka huelo akā he lauoho pōkole a ʻeleʻele, huluhulu huluhulu ma ka piko o ka huelo.
Nani lākou me ko lākou mau pepeiao poepoe a me nā maka pihi. He maikaʻi loa nā maka a me ka lohe o Degus, e ʻae iā lākou e ʻike i nā ʻenemi i ka manawa maikaʻi. Eia kekahi, hiki iā lākou ke honi maikaʻi loa a loaʻa nā ʻūhā ma ko lākou mau kino a pau, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana e hoʻonohonoho pono iā lākou iho i ka pōʻeleʻele.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o nā wāwae hope o ka degus ma mua o nā wāwae mua, no laila maikaʻi loa lākou i ka lele. He mau māuʻu ko nā wāwae no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a me ka ʻeli ʻana. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka huelo e ka degus no ke kaupaona ʻana, hoʻohana lākou iā ia e mālama i ko lākou kaulike i ka wā e lele ai; i ko lakou noho ana, he kokua ka huelo. Loaʻa iā ia kekahi hana koʻikoʻi:
Eia kekahi laʻana, inā hopu ʻia ka degu i ka huelo e ka manu ʻai, haehae ia a holo ka holoholona. ʻAʻole hiki ke koko a hoʻōla ka ʻeha; ʻaʻole naʻe e ulu hou ka huelo. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e paʻa a hāpai i ka degus ma ko lākou huelo!
Ma hea kahi e noho ai ʻo degus?
Noho wale ʻo Degus ma Chile; Aia ʻo Chile ma ʻAmelika Hema. Ma laila lākou e noho ai i nā pāpū a me nā pae mauna haʻahaʻa a hiki i 1200 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai.
ʻO Degus e like me ka ʻāina ākea - nā wahi me ka lāʻau ʻole a i ʻole nā lāʻau - no ka mea aia lākou i kahi ʻike maikaʻi a hiki ke ʻike inā hele mai nā ʻenemi. I kēia lā naʻe, manaʻo nō hoʻi lākou i ka home ma nā kula a me nā māla a me nā mahi kanu. Noho lākou i laila i nā lua lalo.
ʻAʻohe ʻano ʻokoʻa o ka degu. ʻO nā ʻano ʻano pili pili i ka cururo, ka kiʻi pōhaku ʻAmelika Hema, a me ka iole viscacha.
Ehia makahiki o ka degus?
ʻElima a ʻeono paha ʻo Degus, ʻo kekahi a hiki i ʻehiku makahiki.
Hana
Pehea ke ola o degus?
ʻO Degus nā holoholona pilikanaka. Noho lākou i loko o nā ʻohana o ʻelima a ʻumikūmālua holoholona. Noho maluhia pū kekahi mau kāne ma kēia mau hui. Loaʻa iā Degus kahi ʻāina a lākou e hōʻailona ai me nā hōʻailona ʻala a pale aku i nā mea hoʻopiʻi - ʻoiai kūʻē i nā conspecifics. ʻO nā holoholona wale nō o ka ʻohana i ʻae ʻia ma ia wahi.
ʻOiai e ʻai ana nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i meaʻai, e kiaʻi mau ana kekahi lālā o ka ʻohana. Noho pinepine kēia holoholona ma kahi puʻu liʻiliʻi. Inā hoʻoweliweli ka pilikia, hoʻopuka ia i ka leo aʻo a holo nā degus a pau i loko o ko lākou lua. Hoʻoikaika nui ʻo Degus mai ke kakahiaka a i ke ahiahi. Noho ʻo degus hihiu i ka nahele ma waena o nā haneli he nui o nā holoholona. Noho lākou ma ka honua, akā i kekahi manawa piʻi lākou i nā lālā haʻahaʻa o ka nahele.
ʻO nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi o degus
ʻO nā nahesa a me nā alopeke, akā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā manu ʻai, hahai i ka degus.
Lāhea
Hānau ʻia ka liʻiliʻi degus ʻekolu mahina ma hope o ka male ʻana. Hoʻopili nā wāhine i kahi e hānau ai me ka mauʻu a me nā lau. ʻAʻole hānai ʻia ka degus liʻiliʻi e ko lākou makuahine wale nō akā e nā wahine ʻē aʻe o ka ʻohana. Hiki i ka wahine degu ke hānau keiki a hiki i ʻehā manawa i ka makahiki. Haʻalele ʻo Young degus i ka pūnana i ka lua o ka lā a ʻimi i ka wahi. Ua hānai ʻia lākou no ʻelua pule. A laila hoʻomaka lākou e ʻai i ka meaʻai paʻa akā inu nō naʻe mai ko lākou makuahine i kēlā me kēia manawa.
Pehea e kamaʻilio ai degus?
Hoʻohana ʻo Degus i nā leo like ʻole e kamaʻilio me kekahi. Ke māʻona a aloha paha kekahi i kekahi, kani ka leo. Me ka beep, hōʻike lākou ua huhū lākou. A inā ʻaʻole lākou hauʻoli i ko lākou puni ʻana, hōʻike lākou me nā leo leo lōʻihi.
mālama
He aha kā degus e ʻai ai?
Ma ke ʻano, he liʻiliʻi a maʻalahi ka ʻai o ka degus, ʻai nui lākou i ka mauʻu a me ka ʻili. No laila, ke mālama ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he mau holoholona, ua hānai nui ʻia lākou i ka mauʻu. Makemake lākou i nā mea kanu e like me endive, letus, kāpī savoy, kāpī Pākē, kāloti, a ʻai pū lākou i ka mauʻu a me nā mea kanu.
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i ka degus ke ʻae i ka hua no ka mea he nui loa ke kō. ʻO kahi ʻāpana o ka berena ʻeleʻele, nā kuki ʻīlio, a i ʻole ka berena crisp he mea ʻai maikaʻi. ʻAʻole naʻe e hāʻawi nui ʻia, i ʻole, e maʻi lākou. Pono ka degus i ka wai e inu ai.
Ke mālama nei i ka degus
ʻAʻole ʻo Degus nā holoholona hānai. Makemake wale lākou e puliki me kā lākou mau hoa a ʻaʻole makemake nui i ka poʻe e hoʻopā iā lākou.
Ma muli o ka hana nui o ka degus, pono lākou i kahi ākea. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e mālama wale iā lākou, akā kūʻai mau i ʻelua degus, i ʻole, e lilo lākou i mehameha a maʻi. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake i nā keiki, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa i ʻelua kāne a ʻelua wahine paha.
ʻAʻole kūpono nā hīnaʻi maʻamau no nā holoholona liʻiliʻi no ka degus no ka mea makemake lākou e ʻeli i ka lepo a hoʻopuehu i nā mea āpau a puni. ʻO ka terrarium i hana ʻia me ke aniani ʻaʻole hiki i ka degus ke nahu ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
ʻO ka nui aʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā holoholona: no ʻelua degus, ʻo ka nui o ka papahele he 100 x 50 x 100 kenimika aʻe (ākea x hohonu x kiʻekiʻe). Hoʻohana ʻia nā moena liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ma ke ʻano he moena i loko o ka terrarium. Eia kekahi, pono ka degus i nā ana, hiki ke kūkulu ʻia mai nā pōhaku lepo a me ka papa pōhaku, no ka laʻana, a me nā lālā e piʻi ai.
Makemake nō hoʻi ʻo Degus e peʻe i loko o nā kumu lāʻau ʻāwaha. Pono lākou i kahi ʻauʻau one no ka mālama ʻana i ko lākou hulu. Pono e hana ʻia ke kīʻaha hānai me ka porcelain a i ʻole ka pālolo i ʻole e nau nā holoholona. Pono e lawa nā lālā i loko o ka terrarium i hiki ai i ka degus ke hemo i ko lākou mau niho.
Hoʻolālā mālama no degus
Pono e ho'oma'ema'e 'ia ka terrarium o ka degu ma ka li'ili'i loa i ho'okahi pule i mea e pale ai i ka pilau a me ka laha 'ana i nā ma'i. Pono e hoʻopiha hou ʻia ke kīʻaha wai i kēlā me kēia lā a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ke kīʻaha meaʻai i kēlā me kēia lā.
ʻAʻole pono ka mālama huluhulu, no ka mea, hoʻomaʻemaʻe ka degus iā lākou iho a me kekahi. ʻO ka ʻauʻau one e hōʻoia i ka momona ʻole o ka hulu. Inā lawa ka degus e nahu a hoʻokala i ko lākou mau maiuu i loko o ka terrarium, e mae ʻokoʻa ko lākou mau maiuu a me nā niho. Inā lōʻihi ka lōʻihi, pono lākou e hele i ke kauka lapaʻau i hiki i nā holoholona ke ʻai hou.
