Iziphuzo ezincane zilwane ezidumile kubantu abaningi ngoba zithulile, zithokozile (ikakhulukazi njengezinhlanzi), futhi azichithi izinwele. Kodwa iziphuphu zingaphila isikhathi eside kakhulu (noma kuphi kusuka eminyakeni engu-50 kuya kweyengu-100), ngakho-ke kufanele ulungele ukuhlinzeka ngokunakekelwa kokuphila konke futhi ucabange ukuthi isilwane sakho singase sikukhumbule ngisho uma ukhetha ukugcina isilwane.
Ukudla okuPettuous Pet
Izibambo zingenza izilwane ezifuywayo ezithakazelisayo nakuba zingabonisa ezinye izinselele ngenxa yobukhulu babo nezindlela zokudla.
Ukudla kuhlukahluka ngokusekelwe ezinhlobonhlobo, kodwa zonke iziphuphu ezifuywayo zidinga ukudla okuhlukahlukene ngokucophelela okukhokhwa inani le-roughage kanye nezilinganiso ze- calcium / phosphorus zokudla kwazo. Ezinye izinhlobo zinezinkanuko ezinkulu futhi zidinga ukudla okuningi. Isikhathi sokulungiselela ukudla kwansuku zonke kanye nezindleko ezihambisana nesamba sokudla i-tortoise esidla kufanele zicatshangelwe ngaphambi kokuthola i-tortoise yesilwane.
Izindlu zokuThuthukiswa kwezindlu
Izinhlobo eziningi ze-tortoises zikhulu kakhulu futhi zidinga indawo ephakeme ephakeme, okungcono kakhulu ngaphandle. Ngenxa yalezi zilungiselelo zamakhaya ezikhethwayo, izikhumba zezilwane zifaneleka kakhulu ezindaweni ezinendawo ezimbi. Kuncike emazingeni okushisa lapho kuvela khona isibhamu nendawo ohlala kuyo, kungase kudingeke ukuba ulethe iziphuphu ezincane ngaphakathi endlini noma ebusuku ngesikhathi sezulu esipholile (kanti neziphuphu ezinkulu ezihlinzeka ngezindlu zangaphakathi kungaba yinselele enkulu).
Ezinye zezilwane nazo zidinga ukugubha isikhathi eside okungaba nzima kakhulu kulesihluthu futhi kudinga izimo ezikhethekile zemvelo.
Uma ukhiqiza ipeni langaphandle, kufanele uqiniseke ukuthi liqinile futhi ukuthi ungcwaba izicucu zakho uma unesikhumba sogwayi. Izikhwama zinamandla kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezinkulu, futhi izigxobo ezingenayo ngeke zibabambe isikhathi eside.
Amanye ama-tortoise nawo akhuphuka ngokumangalisa kahle ngakho angadinga ipeni eliphahleni. Kubuye kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqiniseka ukuthi i-enclosure igcina izidumbu (kuhlanganise nezinja) ngaphandle. Qinisekisa ukuthi azikho izingozi epeni, kuhlanganise nezitshalo ezinobuthi. Nikeza kuphela amanzi angajulile, akukho izinto ezibukhali, futhi akukho okuncane, izinto ezingenakwenzeka ezingenakungenwa ngengozi. Futhi kwezinye iziphuphu, ukuzama ukukhuphuka izinyathelo noma ezinye izithiyo kungabangela ukuba bagxile emhlane wabo okuyinto okufanele igwenywe. Izinhlanzi eziningi zezilwane zizodinga ezinye izindawo zokuhlala ngaphandle njengendlu yendlu (abanikazi abaningi bavame ukushisa lezi).
Ukuthenga i-Pet Tortoise efanele
Kungcono kakhulu, njenganoma yisiphi isiphequluli, ukuthola isithunjwa sibophe isikhukhula sezilwane uma kungenzeka. Lokhu akulula ukwenza ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane, kepha isimo sokubanjwa kanye nokuthunyelwa kungasabeka futhi kubangele izilwane ezicindezelekile ezithinta izifo. Kungenzeka nakwezinye izindawo ukuthola izintambo ezincane ezivela ezihlwini.
Noma yisiphi isibhamu esilwane esisha emndenini wakho kufanele sihlolwe izidumbu futhi sihlukaniswe isikhathi esithile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi sinempilo (uma ezinye iziphuphu zikhona). Ezinye zezilwane zinobudlova nezinye iziphuphu futhi uma abesilisa abambalwa begcinwa ezincane kakhulu zokulwa okuvaliwe kungabangela ukulimala okungase kube yingozi emehlweni nasemilenzeni.
Ukukhetha i-Petto Tortoise Species
Kubalulekile ukukhetha izinhlobo ezifanele zesikhukhula sezilwane ngenxa yakho ngezidingo zezindlu, izidingo zezemvelo, kanye nezidingo zokudla. Izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zinamazinga omdala ahlukene kakhulu, izinga lokushisa nezidingo ezikhanyayo, ukudla okudliwayo, nesinye isidingo sokuziqhenya ngesikhathi abanye bengenalo. Qinisekisa ukuthi ucwaninga izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene ze-torto ocubungula ngaphambi kokuthola isilwane sakho esisha. Iziphuphu ezivamile zezilwane zifaka isiRashiya, izinhlanzi ezibomvu (nezinhlobonhlobo zekhanda ), ama- sulcata , ama-tortoise amaGreki nama- radiated kodwa kukhona nezinye eziningi.
