He aha ke ʻano o nā puaʻa guinea?
He kino ka lōʻihi o nā puaʻa Guinea he 20 a 35 kenimika, ʻo nā kāne he 1000 a 1400 grams, ʻo nā wahine he 700 a 1100 grams. He pōkole nā pepeiao a me nā wāwae, ua emi ka huelo. ʻEhā manamana lima a me ʻekolu manamana wāwae ko lākou.
He laumania ka hulu o na ano hihiu, pili kokoke, a hinahinahina. He mau puaʻa maheʻe, ʻōniʻoniʻo, a lōʻihi ka lauoho. ʻIke ʻia lākou he puaʻa puaʻa rosette a me angora guinea. Ma waho aʻe o kēia mauʻanoʻaʻahuʻekolu, he nui nāʻano likeʻole.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā puaʻa guinea?
No ʻAmelika Hema ka puaʻa guinea. Ua mālama ʻia ma laila e ka poʻe Inikini ma ke ʻano he holoholona. Aia nō nā puaʻa ʻāhiu ma laila i kēia lā. Ua kapa ʻia lākou he puaʻa guinea no ka mea ua lawe ʻia mai lākou i ʻEulopa ma ka moku ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke kai a no ka mea, ua like ko lākou ʻano a me ka uē ʻana e like me nā puaʻa liʻiliʻi.
ʻO ka noho ʻana o nā ʻano mea ola manuahi nā wahi me ka ulu mauʻu a puni ka makahiki. Noho lākou ma nā pāpū haʻahaʻa o nā Pampas ma ʻAmelika Hema a hiki i nā pali pali o ka Andes, kahi e loaʻa ai lākou a hiki i 4200 mika. Noho lākou ma laila ma nā pūʻulu o ʻelima a ʻumi mau holoholona i loko o nā lua. ʻEli lākou iā lākou iho a lawe iā lākou mai nā holoholona ʻē aʻe.
He aha nā ʻano puaʻa ma laila?
Aia i loko o ka ʻohana puaʻa puaʻa ʻelua mau ʻohana me ʻeono genera a me 14 mau ʻano ʻano like ʻole. Noho lākou a pau ma ʻAmelika Hema a hoʻololi ʻia i nā wahi noho like ʻole.
ʻO nā kūpuna pololei o kā mākou mau puaʻa puaʻa ʻo Tschudi guinea pigs (Cavia aperea tschudii). Ua hānai ʻia lākou e ka poʻe Inia a lawe ʻia mai i ka honua holoʻokoʻa e nā naʻi aupuni ʻEulopa. I kēia mau lā, nui nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole: Rosette guinea pigs, Sheltie guinea pig, long-haired guinea pigs also called Angora, American and English Crested, Rex guinea pigs.
ʻO kekahi puaʻa puaʻa e noho nei i ka nahele i kēia lā, ʻo ia ka puaʻa pōhaku (Kerodon rupestris), ʻo ia hoʻi ka moko. He 20 a 40 kenimika kona ana mai ke poʻo a lalo, hoʻokahi kilokani kona kaumaha, ʻaʻohe huelo akā lōʻihi nā wāwae.
ʻO ia ka nui o nā puaʻa guinea a pau. He hina ka hulu ma ke kua me na kiko eleele a keokeo. He melemele ma ka ʻōpū a aneane keʻokeʻo ma ka ʻāʻī. Noho nā puaʻa puaʻa pōhaku ma ka hikina ʻo Pasila ma nā wahi mauna maloʻo. He mau kui ākea ko lākou ma ko lākou mau wāwae. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana iā ia e piʻi i nā pōhaku a me nā kumulāʻau, a lele kiʻekiʻe loa e ʻimi i ka meaʻai.
Ke ʻimi mau ʻia nei ka ʻiʻo ʻiʻo pōhaku i kēia lā. ʻO kekahi ʻano ʻano ʻo ka swamp a i ʻole Magna guinea pig. Ma muli o ko lākou noho ʻana i nā wahi puʻupaʻa a pono lākou e ʻauʻau maikaʻi, ʻaʻahu lākou i nā manamana wāwae. ʻO nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ka weasel guinea pig (Galea mustelids), ka pygmy guinea pig (Microcavia australis), a me ka aperea (Cavia aperea), ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau.

ʻO nā puaʻa Guinea he mau holoholona pilikanaka e ʻimi a hauʻoli i ka launa pū ʻana me nā lālā ʻohana. Ke hiamoe a ʻai paha, makemake lākou i nā pā pili kino.
No ka mea he poʻe noho ana lākou, pono lākou i hale moe i loko o ko lākou hale. He mea maʻamau iā lākou ke hoʻolilo i ka hapa nui o ka lā ma ko lākou lua, e nānā wale ana i waho i kēlā me kēia manawa.
Pehea e hanau ai na puaa guinea?
Hiki i nā puaʻa puaʻa home ke loaʻa hoʻokahi a ʻeono mau ʻīlio no ka pā, ʻo ka hapa nui he ʻelua a ʻehā mau ʻīlio. Hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau puʻa wale nō ka hānau ʻana o nā puaʻa ʻāhiu ma ka awelika. Hiki i nā puaʻa puaʻa home ke hoʻopā i ka makahiki a puni, no laila hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa nā ʻōpiopio. He ʻelua mahina ka lōʻihi o ka hāpai ʻana.
