He mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kā lākou meaʻai no ko lākou mālama pono ʻana i ke pio ʻana. Ma ka nahelehele, hōʻike nā boa anuenue i nā meaʻai like ʻole, e ʻai ana i nā ʻano mea pio e like me nā mammals liʻiliʻi, amphibians, reptile, manu, iʻa, nā inike, a me nā invertebrates.

ʻO ka manaʻo nui o ka ʻai ʻo Rainbow Boas

He poʻe hahai holoholona ʻo Rainbow boas a ʻokoʻa kā lākou ʻai ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea pio i ko lākou wahi noho. ʻOiai ʻo kā lākou meaʻai mua he mau mammals liʻiliʻi, ʻai pū lākou i nā amphibians, nā mea kolo, nā manu, nā iʻa, nā inike, a me nā invertebrates. ʻO ko lākou hiki ke hoʻololi i kā lākou meaʻai i nā kumuwaiwai i loaʻa iā lākou he poʻe ʻaihue maikaʻi loa.

Nā Māmā liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻai ʻana o ka ʻAnuenue Boas

ʻO nā mammals liʻiliʻi he hapa nui o ka ʻai o nā boa anuenue. ʻAi lākou i nā ʻiole e like me nā ʻiole, nā ʻiole, a me nā lapeti liʻiliʻi. ʻO kēia mau mammals kahi kumu maikaʻi o ka meaʻai no nā boa anuenue, hāʻawi iā lākou i nā protein a me nā momona pono. He poʻe hoʻohālua akamai nā boa, e hilinaʻi ana i ko lākou mana hoʻopaʻapaʻa ikaika e hoʻokau a hoʻopau i kā lākou pio.

ʻO nā Amphibians a me nā Reptiles i pio no nā Boa Anuenue

Hoʻokomo pū ʻo Rainbow boas i nā ʻano amphibians a me nā mea kolo i kā lākou ʻai. Lawe lākou i nā rana, nā moo, nā moʻo, a me nā ʻano nahesa liʻiliʻi. ʻAʻole hāʻawi wale kēia mau mea pio i kahi kumu meaʻai akā kōkua pū kekahi i ka ʻokoʻa o nā meaʻai a ke anuenue boas. ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i nā amphibians a me nā mea kolo e hiki ai iā lākou ke loaʻa nā meaʻai koʻikoʻi e like me nā huaora a me nā minela.

Nā ʻano manu i ʻai ʻia e ke Anuenue Boas

ʻO nā manu kekahi mea pio i ʻike ʻia e ʻai ʻia e nā boa anuenue.

Hāʻawi nā manu i nā boa anuenue me kahi kumu kūʻokoʻa o ka protein a hāʻawi i kahi hoʻokūkū hahai holoholona ʻē aʻe ma muli o ko lākou ʻano lewa.

ʻO nā iʻa a me nā meaʻai wai no ke anuenue Boa

He nahesa semi-aquatic a hiki ke ʻauʻau, hana i nā iʻa a me nā mea ola ʻē aʻe i ʻāpana o kā lākou ʻai. Huli lākou i ka iʻa ma nā wai pāpaʻu, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kā lākou mākaukau ʻauʻau maikaʻi loa a me nā niho kūikawā e hopu a ʻai i kā lākou mea pio. Nui nā iʻa i nā ʻakika momona omega-3, he mea nui ia no ke olakino a me ka ulu ʻana o ka boa.

ʻO nā Insects a me nā Invertebrates i meaʻai no ke Anuenue Boa

He ʻāpana maʻamau ka ʻiʻo a me nā invertebrates o ka ʻai a ke anuenue boa, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā poʻe ʻōpio. ʻAi lākou i nā ʻano pepeke like ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi nā ʻokiki, nā ʻūhini, a me nā pipi. Hoʻopau pū ʻia nā mea ʻokoʻa e like me ka snails a me ka enuhe honua. Hāʻawi kēia mau mea pio liʻiliʻi i nā boa anuenue me nā meaʻai pono a loaʻa koke i ko lākou wahi kūlohelohe.

ʻO ke koʻikoʻi o nā Rodents i ka ʻai ʻana o ke Anuenue Boas

He koʻikoʻi ko nā rodents i ka ʻai o nā boa anuenue. He kumu meaʻai mua lākou no kēia mau nahesa, e hāʻawi ana iā lākou i kahi ʻano meaʻai kūpono. He waiwai nā rodents i nā protein a me nā momona, he mea nui ia no ka ulu a me ka ikehu o nā boa anuenue. Me ka loaʻa ʻole o nā koʻokoʻo, hiki ke loaʻa ka pōʻino o ke ānuenue i nā hemahema o ka meaʻai a me nā pilikia olakino.

ʻO nā ʻano mea pio i ʻai ʻia e ke Anuenue Boas

ʻO ka hiki ʻana o nā boa ānuenue ke ʻai i nā ʻano mea ʻai he nui i ko lākou kūleʻa ʻana ma ke ʻano he mea ʻaihue. ʻO ko lākou maʻalahi i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kumu meaʻai like ʻole e hiki ai iā lākou ke ola ma nā wahi noho like ʻole. Mālama kēia ʻano meaʻai i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā boa anuenue i nā ʻano meaʻai like ʻole, e hāpai ana i ko lākou olakino a maikaʻi.

Ka pinepine o ka hanai ana ma ka nahelehele no na Boa Anuenue

ʻO ka pinepine o ka hānai ʻana i nā boa ānuenue ma ka nahele e pili ana i nā kumu he nui, e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea pio, ka nui o ka mea pio, a me ka wikiwiki o ka nahesa. ʻO ka maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻai ʻana o nā boa anuenue i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano nahesa ʻē aʻe. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻai i ka ʻai nui a laila hele no kekahi mau pule me ka ʻole e hānai hou. Hoʻopili kēia ʻano hānai me ka pono o ka ikehu o ka nahesa a me kona hiki ke hoʻohana pono i ka mea pio.

Nā ʻenehana hahai holoholona ʻana o ka ʻAnuenue Boas

Hoʻohana ʻo Rainbow boas i nā ʻano hana hahai holoholona e hopu ai i kā lākou pio. He poʻe hoʻohālua lākou, e hilinaʻi ana i kā lākou camouflage maikaʻi loa a me ke ahonui e kāhāhā i kā lākou pio. I ka manawa i loko o ka pā, hoʻohana lākou i ko lākou mau niho ʻoi a me ka ikaika ikaika e lanakila ai i kā lākou pio. Me ko lākou mau lua wela, hiki i nā boa anuenue ke ʻike i ka wela o ke kino o kā lākou mea pio, e ʻae iā lākou e hahau me ka pololei ʻoiai i nā kūlana haʻahaʻa.

Ka hopena o ka ʻai ʻana i ke ola kino o ka Anuenue Boas

He kuleana koʻikoʻi ka ʻai o nā boa anuenue i ko lākou olakino a maikaʻi. ʻO ka meaʻai kaulike a me nā ʻano like ʻole e hōʻoia i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā meaʻai āpau e pono ai no ka ulu ʻana, hana hou, a me ka mālama ʻana i kahi ʻōnaehana pale. I ka noho pio ʻana, he mea koʻikoʻi ka hana hou ʻana i kā lākou meaʻai hihiu i ko lākou olakino lōʻihi. Hāʻawi ka meaʻai kūpono i nā kala ʻulaʻula, nā ʻōnaehana pale ikaika, a me ke ola holoʻokoʻa o nā boa anuenue. No laila, he mea nui i nā mea nona nā nahesa e hoʻolako i kahi meaʻai e like me kā lākou mea pio maoli i mea e hōʻoia ai i ka maikaʻi o ke ola o kēia mau nahesa nani.
