Ufudu oluqhwakayo (lat. Chelydra serpentina) noma ukuluma ufudu olukhulu, olunolaka, kodwa olungathobekile. Kulula ukuyigcina, njengoba ibekezelela amakhaza kahle, idla cishe noma yini futhi iqine kakhulu ekuthunjweni. Ngakho-ke nayizimfundamakhwela azigcini ngokuphumelelayo ukufudumeza ufudu, kodwa futhi zizale.
Kepha, khumbula ukuthi banolaka kakhulu futhi baze bahlasele abanikazi babo, futhi nanoma yiziphi ezinye izidalwa eziphilayo ozigcina nazo, futhi ikakhulu zizobulala.
Ngisho nezihlobo zabo. Kungcono ukugcina ufudu olulodwa ethangini ngalinye.
Kubalulekile futhi ukukhumbula ukuthi izimfudu zikhula zibe nkulu, futhi lapho zikhula zaba izilo zangempela, abanikazi bazo bazama ukubayisa e-zoo. Kodwa-ke, ayihlali ikhona indawo yezinhlobo ezinjalo ezinolaka bese kuba yinkinga.
Kuhle ukuthi isimo sezulu sethu asimvumeli ukuba aphile, emazweni anezindawo ezifudumele, zivele zidedelwe zibe yimvelo, zidale izinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu.
Ukuphila emvelweni
Izimfudu eziqhumayo zingezinhlobo zohlanga iChelydra, futhi zihlala eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States naseCanada.
Bahlala kunoma yimiphi imizimba yamanzi, kusuka emifuleni kuya emachibini, kepha bakhetha izindawo ezinodaka oluphansi, lapho kulula khona ukuzingcwaba.
Ebusika bayazifihla futhi bazingcwabele odakeni, futhi bayabekezelela amazinga okushisa aphansi kangangokuba kwesinye isikhathi kubonakale izimfudu zihamba ngaphansi kweqhwa.
Incazelo
Ngisho nabaqalayo bangayibona kalula. Ufudu lungahluka ngombala: lube mnyama, lube nsundu, noma ukhilimu.
Inamagobolondo amabi, anama-tubercles kanye ne-depressions, futhi ikhanda layo likhulu, linemihlathi enamandla kanye nomlomo ocijile. Uyisebenzisa ngobuciko, ephonsa ikhanda lakhe maqondana nobungozi nokuluma.
Ngokunikwa amandla emihlathi yakhe, kungcono ukuthi ungachayeki ekuhlaselweni okunjalo.
Izimfudu zeCayman zikhula zifike ku-45 cm ngosayizi, zinesisindo esilinganiselwa ku-15 kg, kepha ezinye zingaba nesisindo esiphindwe kabili. Akukho datha mayelana nesikhathi sokuphila, kepha okungenani iminyaka engama-20.
Ngaphandle, icishe ifane nofudu lwenqe, kepha eyokugcina ifinyelela usayizi wamamitha ayi-1.5 futhi ingaba nesisindo esingama-60 kg!
Ukondla
Omnivorous, emvelweni badla konke abangakubamba, kanye nokudla kwezitshalo. Ekuthunjweni, babamba izinhlanzi, izibungu, izinkalankala kanye ne-crayfish, kanye nokudla okuthengiswayo kuma-pellets.
Ngokuvamile, azikho izinkinga ngokudla; kunganikezwa kokubili ukudla okuphilayo nokudla okwenziwe.
Unganika inhlanzi, amagundane, amaxoxo, izinyoka, izinambuzane. Zidla kakhulu kangangoba kaningi zinesisindo esiphindwe kabili kunesemvelo.
Izimfudu ezindala zingondliwa njalo ngosuku noma ezimbili.
Amavidiyo wokudla kwamagundane (qaphela!)
Okuqukethwe
Ukugcina ufudu oluqhekekayo, udinga i-aquaterrarium enkulu kakhulu noma ichibi elingcono. Ngeshwa, esimweni sezulu sethu, echibini, angahlala kuphela ehlobo - isikhathi sekwindla, futhi kufanele athathwe ebusika.
Uma ucabanga ukuyigcina echibini, khumbula, akuyona eyokuqukethwe okujwayelekile. Lesi sidalwa sizoshwabadela konke okubhukuda ngaso, kufaka phakathi i-KOI nezinye izimfudu.
Akanandaba ne-pH, ubulukhuni, ukuhlobisa nezinye izinto, into esemqoka ukungayiyisi kumanani agqamile. Into esemqoka isikhala esiningi, ukuhlunga okunamandla, ngoba badla kakhulu futhi bazikhulula kakhulu.
Ukuguquka kwamanzi kaningi, imfucumfucu yokudla iyabola ngokushesha, okuholela ezifweni kulofudu oluqhekekayo.
Ngokuqondene nogu, luyadingeka, yize ukudwengula izimfudu kungagqabuki ngasogwini, bakhetha ukuligibela.
Ku-aquaterrarium, ngeke abe nethuba elinjalo, kepha kwesinye isikhathi udinga ukuphuma afudumale.
Ukwenza lokhu, hlomisa ugu ngesethi ejwayelekile - isibani sokushisa (ungasibeki phansi kakhulu ukugwema ukusha) nesibani se-UV sezempilo (imisebe ye-UV isiza ukumunca i-calcium namavithamini).
Ukuphatha ufudu
Yize zizalela ekuthunjweni, imvamisa ngaphandle kokubona imvelo, lokhu akusishintshi isimilo sefudu olumayo.
Kuyacaca egameni kuphela ukuthi udinga ukuyiphatha ngokucophelela. Zihlasela ngokushesha okukhulu, futhi imihlathi yazo inamandla futhi icijile impela.
Ukukhiqiza kabusha
Kulula impela, emvelweni kwenzeka entwasahlobo, ngoshintsho lokushisa. Ekuthunjweni, zihlangana ngesikhathi esincane, akukho okungabaphazamisa, ngokungafani nezinye izinhlobo zofudu.
Kuhle ukugcina owesilisa nowesifazane bekwelamanzi ahlukene, futhi batshale ndawonye entwasahlobo. Vele uqiniseke ukuthi azilimazani, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokudla.
Insikazi inesifiso esinamandla sokuzala, ingazama nokuzama ukuphuma e-terrarium evaliwe ukuze ibekele amaqanda.
Kwakunezimo lapho badabula khona amapulangwe okhuni esembozweni esasiku-aquaterrarium babaleka.
Zivame ukubeka amaqanda ayi-10-15 ogwini, okuvela kuwo izimfudu ezinsukwini ezingama-80-85. Ngasikhathi sinye, amaphesenti amakhulu amaqanda avundiswa, kanti abasha banempilo futhi bayasebenza.
Izingane ziyesaba uma uziphatha ngesandla, kodwa zikhula ngokushesha futhi ngokuvamile ziyasebenza. Njengabazali babo, badla ngolaka nokudla okuhlukahlukene, okubukhoma nokwenziwe.
Kwabaphilayo, kungahlukaniswa imidlwane nezibungu zomhlaba.
