Izilwane ezihuquzelayo zinezilwane ezifuywayo ezithandwayo ngenxa yezizathu eziningi, akuzona zonke ezifanele. Abanye abantu bathanda ukuba nesilwane esihlukile njenge-reptile. Abanye bakholelwa ngephutha ukuthi izindleko zokunakekelwa kwezilwane ziphansi kwezilwane ezihuquzelayo kunalokho okwenzelwe izinja namakati. Abantu abaningi abangenaso isikhathi sokunikela ngenja noma ikati bajabulele ukudluliswa kwenyoka ngokuqhathaniswa noma ngokuqhathaniswa 'kwesondlo, i-lizard, noma i-turtle. Lezi ezihuquzelayo kunjalo, hhayi zokugcina.

"Izilwane ezihuquzelayo, azinalo mahhala."

Ngaphambi kokuthola i-reptile, ucwaninge ngokucophelela zonke izici zobunikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo kubandakanya yiphi reptile efanelekayo yendlela yakho yokuphila, ukudla okufanele, indawo efanelekile, nemvelo evuselelayo. Ezinye izilwane ezihuquzelayo ezinobudlova kufanele ziphondo amagundane, njengamagundane namagundane, futhi abanye abanikazi bezilwane bezilwane abakhululekile ukwenza lokhu. Ngakho-ke, izilwane ezihuquzelayo akuzona izilwane ezifuywayo zazo.

Zifundise ngaphambi kokuzakhela isilwanyana emndenini wakho! Ngaphambi kokuthenga noma ukwamukela izilwane ezihuquzelayo, zibuze le mibuzo elandelayo:

Ngabe ngifuna isilwane nje sokubheka, noma ngifuna ukusingatha futhi ngizizwelise?

Ngenkathi abaningi bezilwane ezihuquzelayo, ikakhulukazi labo abatholakala njengezinsana abazalwa, bavumele abantu ukuba basiphathe, abanye abakwenzi. Izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane ezihuquzelayo ezingezinhle, ezinjenge-chameleons, angeke zivumele noma zithande ukuphathwa futhi zizosabela ngolaka noma zicindezelwe kakhulu lapho zithintwa. Njengomthetho, uma ufuna isilwane ukuba sihlwile, isilwanyana esithi akuyona eyakho! Uma, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ufuna isilwane ongasibonisa endaweni eklanywe kahle, yemvelo, umangalela ngokuziphatha kwayo kwemvelo, futhi ujabulele ukufunda ngakho, i-reptile ifanelwe ukucatshangelwa kwakho.

Singakanani isikhathi engingasinikela esilwaneni sami?

Zonke izilwane ezifuywayo zidinga ukunakwa nsuku zonke. Noma ngabe kuyisingatha, ukuyikhipha ekuvalekeni kwayo ukuze izungeze, noma ukuyibona nje, izilwane ezifuywayo zidinga ukunakwa nsuku zonke kusuka kwabanikazi bazo. Abanini behlulekile ukunaka nsuku zonke ezifuyweni zabo ngeke babone izimpawu zokuqala zezifo futhi bangayinaki imithwalo yabo yezifo njengabanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo. Abaniniyo abahlose ukubeka i-stputile ekhejini futhi baligcine ngezikhathi ezithile kufanele bacabangele kabusha isinqumo sabo ukuze basebenzise lolu hlobo lwesilwane.

Ngingakwazi ukukhokhela ukunakekelwa okufanele kwezokwelapha okufanele?

Zonke izilo ezihuquzelayo zidinga ukuhlolwa ngudokotela wezilwane ofundile ngokushesha ngemuva kokuthenga noma ukutholwa (kungakapheli amahora angama-48), bese kuthi okungenani njalo ngonyaka ngemuva kwalokho. Ukuhlolwa okuphelele kuzofaka ukuhlolwa kokuxilonga okufana nomsebenzi wegazi, ukuhlolwa kwe-fecal, amasiko amagciwane, kanye nama-X-ray. Ukuhlolwa kwe-Wellness okujwayelekile kwe-Reptile yakho kunika amandla ukutholwa kwezifo kusenesikhathi. Njengoba izilwane eziningi ezihlukile ziyizilwane ezihlanyayo ezifihla ukugula ukuze zigweme ukubanjwa ngabazingeli, ezinokungafani okuqabulayo, lezi zilwane ezifuywayo ngokuvamile aziguliseki ngokugula) zize zigule kakhulu futhi zidinga ukunakwa kwezilwane okusheshayo! Ukunakekelwa kwezilwane okujwayelekile, kanye nomnikazi wesilwane onolwazi, onolwazi, wehlisa kakhulu amathuba okugula nokufa kulezi zilwane ezifuywayo (kanye nezindleko eziphelele zokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha). Khuluma nodokotela wezilwane ojwayele ukudingida ukudingida izindleko zokunakekelwa kwezilwane ezijwayelekile futhi waphakamisa amasheduli wezempilo e-reptile ocabanga ngayo ngaphambi kokuthola.

Ngingakwazi yini ukwenza noma ukuthenga indawo yokuhlala efanele (ebiyelwe) nge-reptile yami?

Okokuqala okuhuquzelayo, ngokuya ngosayizi wayo, ungaqala ekuqaleni nge-10-gallon ingilazi ye-aquarium, iphephandaba elithile noma olunye umbhede osuselwa ephepheni, umthombo wokushisa, nomthombo wokukhanya kwe-UV-B.

"Imvelo engafanele ingenye yezinto ezibambe iqhaza ezivame kakhulu ezinkingeni zempilo ezihlangabezana nazo ezihubeni ezithunjwa."

Usayizi odingekayo nokuqukethwe kwekheji kuyahlukahluka ngosayizi wesilwane, izinhlobo zalo, nosayizi wayo ovuthiwe. Imvelo engafanele ingenye yezinto ezibambe iqhaza ezivame kakhulu ezinkingeni zempilo ezitolo ezihunyushiwe, kanye nokudla okungafanele.

Kungani kufanele ngithathe isilwane sami esifuywayo kudokotela wezilwane ukuze ahlolwe lapho kungekho lutho olungalungile ngalo?

Njengabantu kanye nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo, izilwane ezihuquzelayo ziyagula, futhi ukuvimbela ukugula nakanjani kungcono ukwelashwa. Izilwane ezihuquzelayo zifihla izimpawu zokugula kahle ngoba endle, uma zibonisa izimpawu zokugula, zizohlaselwa kalula ngabazingeli noma namanye amalungu eqembu labo. Ngakho-ke, lezi zilwane aziveli zigula kuze kube yilapho ukugula kuthuthukile impela, futhi ngeke bakwazi ukukufihla. Izilwane ezihuquzelayo zezilwane ngokuvamile zenza into efanayo. Uma ubona izimpawu zokugula e-reptile yakho, kufanele ngabe uhlolwe ngudokotela wezilwane ngaso leso sikhathi. Silinde ukubona ukuthi izinto ziba ngcono, noma ziphathwe ngemithi ekhawulayo, ikakhulukazi lezo ezithengiswa ezitolo zezilwane, zibambezeleka kuphela ukuhlolwa okufanele, ukuxilongwa okunembile, kanye nokusetshenziswa okufika ngesikhathi kokwelashwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwelashwa okubambezelekile kuvame ukuba nemiphumela emibikweni yezilwane ebizayo futhi mhlawumbe nokufa okungenasidingo kwesilwane esifuywayo. Odokotela bezilwane bangenza izinto eziningi ukusiza ukwelapha izilwane ezifuywayo, kepha ukungenelela kusenesikhathi kubalulekile.

Ngenkathi imigomo yokuxilongwa nokwelashwa kwezifo ifana neyaluphi uhlobo lwezinhlobo zezilwane, kunomehluko obalulekile phakathi kwezilwane ezihuquzelayo, izinyoni, izinja ezincane, izinja namakati. Ungudokotela wezilwane kuphela onobuchwepheshe ekwelapheni izilwane ezihuquzelayo kufanele kuboniswe ngezeluleko zezokwelapha noma zokuhlinzwa ngalezi zilwane ezihlukile.

Yini ehilelekile ekuvakasheni kokuqala kwezilwane ukuthola isilwanyana?

Kungakapheli amahora angama-48 okuthenga kwakho noma ukutholwa kwesilwane esifuywayo, isilwane sakho kufanele sihlolwe ngudokotela wezilwane osulwa kabusha. Ngesikhathi sokuvakasha, udokotela wakho wezilwane uzohlolwa ngokomzimba, kufaka phakathi ukuhlolwa kwesisindo, futhi afune ukungahambi kahle. Isilwane esifuywayo sihlolisiswa izimpawu zokuphelelwa ngamandla noma ukungondleki. Umlomo wayo uzohlolwa ukuthola izimpawu ze-stomatitis ezithathelwanayo (ukutheleleka komlomo), futhi kuzokwenziwa isivivinyo se-fecal ukubheka ama-parasites amathumbu. Ngokungafani nezinye izilwane ezifuywayo eziningi, izilwane ezihuquzelayo azihlali zihlaziywa njalo, futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthola i-petptile yesilwane ukuze uhlukanise umyalo (yize abaningi bazokunikeza isampula engacabangi uma bethukuthele!). Ngaphandle kokuthi isampula le-fecal lisha, lihlaziya lizonikeza imininingwane emincane ewusizo. Ngesinye isikhathi, udokotela wezilwane wakho wezilwane angasenza ukugeza kwekholoni, okufana ne-enema, ukuthola isampula yokuxilonga ukuze ahlole ngokunembile ama-parasites angaphakathi. Imvamisa, udokotela wakho wezilwane uzoba naso uletha isampula ye-fecal ngemuva kokuphambuka kokuqala kwesilwane ekhaya. Iningi lokuvakasha kwezilwane cishe lizoba yiseshini yombuzo nempendulo, njengoba udokotela wezilwane wakho azofuna ukukufundisa ngokudla okufanele nokunakekelwa. Imithi yokugoma ayidingeki ngokujwayelekile ezitolo ezihuquzelayo.

Njengezinja namakati, izilwane ezihuquzelayo zezilwane zasekhaya kufanele zihlolwe okungenani ngonyaka, uma kungenjalo kuminyaka yonke lapho sezikhulile, futhi kufanele zibe nesitulo sazo ngamagciwane njalo.
