Ukuthenga ingulube ye-Guinea

Ngaphambi kokuba uthole ingulube ye-Guinea, udinga ukucabanga ngokujulile, ngoba kufanele siqaphele ukuthi isilwane esisha endlini ngomqondo othile sizokwandisa ubukhulu bomndeni wethu. Phela zonke izilwane ziyizidalwa eziphilayo ukuthi, njengomuntu, ukwesaba, ubuhlungu noma ukulamba, okungase kujabulise futhi kucasule. Ngakho-ke, ngeke sithathe izinqumo ngokuxhamazela, sizoqala sicabange ukuthi sinemibandela yini yokuqinisekisa umuzi omusha konke okudingekayo kuye. Ngoba ngeqiniso lokuthi sinesilwane, akukhona nje ukuzijabulisa okuxhunyiwe, kodwa futhi nemisebenzi. Lapho uthenga ingulube ye-Guinea, kufanele sicabangele ukuthi izohlala endlini yethu iminyaka embalwa ezayo. Lamagundane aphila ngokwesilinganiso seminyaka engaba ngu-8.

Ngaphambi kokuthenga i-Guinea pig, udinga ukuphendula imibuzo elandelayo:

• Ingabe izoba khona indawo efanelekile, ekhanyayo efulethini yekheji elikhulu ngokwanele elidingwa yilesi silwane?
• Ingabe unaso isineke sokuhlanza ngokungakhathali okokulala okuhlala kubhidlika ekhejini?
• Ingabe uzoba naso isikhathi sokuphakela nokuphuzisa isilwane sakho nsuku zonke nokuhlanza ikheji laso kanye noma kabili ngesonto?
• Ingabe unehora lesikhathi nsuku zonke lokudlala nesilwane futhi unakekele ijazi laso?
• Ungakwazi yini ukuthenga ikheji lapho isilwane sasiyoba nenkululeko eyanele yokunyakaza?
• Ingabe unalo ithuba lokumnikeza ukunakekelwa okufanele phakathi nesikhathi eside ungekho endlini?

Kuphela ngokuphendula le mibuzo kuwe, unganquma ukuthi uthenge ingulube ye-Guinea noma cha.

Uma unquma ukuthenga, khona-ke isinyathelo sokuqala kufanele sibe ukugcinwa kwempahla edingekayo futhi ulungiselele isilwane izimo ezifanele zokuphila. Lokhu kumele kwenziwe ngaphambi kokuhambisa ingulube endlini. Awukwazi ukumlahla ukuba ahlale ebhokisini lekhadibhodi noma enye indawo yokukhosela yesikhashana yalolu hlobo - kufanele unqume ngokushesha ngokukhethwa kwezindlu zengulube ye-Guinea.

Isinqumo esilandelayo okudingeka usenze uhlobo lwe-Guinea pig ofuna ukuyigcina futhi uyikhulise. Lezi zilwane zihlukahlukene kakhulu. Esitolo sezilwane, kuvame ukuba nezingulube zezinhlobo ezintathu.

Uhlobo lokuqala lubonakala ngejazi elibushelelezi, elifushane futhi lichazwa njengengulube ye-Guinea enezinwele ezibushelelezi (noma enezinwele ezimfishane). Lezi zingulube yizona ezishibhe kakhulu. Ahlukaniswa ngokuzivikela okuphezulu kakhulu kanye nokunemba okuncane kakhulu.

Uhlobo lwesibili yi-rosette (i-Abyssinian, i-wire-haired) izingulube, nazo ezingadingi ukunakekelwa okukhethekile, futhi zibhekwa ngabaningi njengezikhanga kakhulu.

Ekhanga kakhulu ingulube ye-Angora (Peruvian) enezinwele ezinde, nokho, ngesikhathi esifanayo, iletha inkinga enkulu ekuyigcineni. Ijazi layo elide, elisilika lidinga ukuxubha nsuku zonke nokusikwa ngezikhathi ezithile. Izingulube zalolu hlobo, ngokomthetho, azifanele izingane ezincane.

Ukuhlukaniswa kwezinhlobo kuhambisana nokuhlukaniswa kwamanani ezingulube ze-Guinea. Ama-gilts ase-Abyssinian avame ukuthengisa ngentengo yama-shorthair gilts abiza kakhulu, kuyilapho ama-gilts asePeruvia ngokuvamile ebiza kakhulu kunawo womabili. Uma usunqume ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo lwengulube ye-Guinea oyifunayo, khetha isitolo sezilwane esinedumela elihle lapho uzothenga khona. Ngokusobala, uzothola kuyo isilwane osifunayo, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, yonke imishini edingekayo yokugcinwa kwayo kanye nemfundo.

Ukuze uhlole kahle ikhwalithi futhi ulolonge ingulube ye-Guinea, udinga ukwazi ukuthi yini evamile nokuthi yini engajwayelekile kuye. Izakhiwo ezilandelayo kanye nemingcele zibaluleke kakhulu: i-guinea pig endala ikhula ibe ubude obungaba ngu-30 cm, futhi isisindo sayo sisuka ku-800 kuya ku-1000 g. Izinga lokushisa lomzimba liphakeme kancane kunolomzimba womuntu, futhi akufanele umangale ukuthi isilwane sibonakala sifudumele kakhulu, ngisho kushisa, akusho ukuthi unomkhuhlane. Izinga lokushisa elingu-39,5 ° C lijwayelekile kuyena. 

Iguinea pig inomzimba ominyene, oqinile ombozwe izinwele eziwugqinsi. Kubantu abadala, kungase kuvele amabala anempandla. Ezilwaneni ezincane, ingemuva lentende nephansi lezinyawo kuphela, izindlebe nezindawo ezincane ezingemuva kwezindlebe azigcwali izinwele. Izidladla zangaphambili zinezinzwane ezine ezigcina ngezizipho, kanti imilenze yangemuva inezintathu. Kokubili abesifazane nabesilisa banezingono ezimbili. 

Lapho uthenga ingulube ye-Guinea, kufanele uyihlole ngokucophelela ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi inempilo.

1. Ijazi lengulube enempilo liyacwebezela, izinwele zayo, kuye ngohlobo lohlobo, zenziwe ngendlela efanele.
   
2. Akufanele kube khona utwayi olubonakalayo, olululayo noma izinduna, utwayi esikhumbeni. Futhi angeke kube khona ukungapheleli emgqeni wezinwele. Ezingulubeni, izindlebe namathe ezinyawo kuphela ezingenaboya. Okuhlukile yizingulube ze-Abyssinian, lapho ama-rosette ahlukana khona namaphuzu abonakala esikhumbeni.
   
3. Lapho uhlola ikhanda lesilwane, kufanele unake amehlo nasemakhaleni. Amehlo engulube ephile kahle ahlanzekile, abukeka njengobuhlalu obumanzi obubili, kuyilapho amakhala omile futhi abandayo, angenawo amafinyila.
   
4. Kufanele nakanjani ubheke indawo ezungeze i-anus. Uboya obugayiwe futhi obungcolile bubonisa ukuthi isilwane siphathwa isifo sohudo. Indle esekhejini noma ekamelweni lapho ingulube igcinwe khona kuze kube manje kufanele yome.
   
5. Kungenzeka ukuthi ijazi le-Guinea pig ligcwele ama-parasites. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, akufanele senqabe ukuthenga isilwane esisithandayo, ngoba amazeze nezintwala zingabulawa kalula ngama-insecticides.
   

Kungcono ukuthi uqale ubheke izilwane ezisekhejini lazo isikhashana. Lokhu kuzokwenza kucace ngokushesha ukuthi yimuphi kubo osebenza kakhulu futhi obonakala enempilo kakhulu, futhi owenza lokho okuhlala ngokunganaki ekhoneni. 

Kumele uqaphele ukuthi ngisho nesilwane esiphilayo singagula. Ngakho-ke, udinga ke uphendulele ukunaka kwakho izimpawu ezingenzeka zesifo. Ungathengi i-Guinea pig enamehlo anamanzi, abomvu, noma ashone. 

Esinye isibonakaliso esibi, okuyinto, ngaphezu kwalokho, kulula ukusungula, isifo sohudo: izinwele ezizungeze i-anus zingcolile, zihlanganiswe ndawonye kusukela ezihlahleni ezomile. Isilwane esibhekene nobunzima bokuphefumula, kuhlangene nokuphuma kwamanzi noma okuvuvukile ekhaleni, singase sibe nomkhuhlane, okungaphephile kakhulu ezingulubeni. 

Uma i-gilt ohlose ukuyithenga izokhuliswa, kufanele futhi unake izici ezithile zofuzo. Kufanele futhi kukhunjulwe ukuthi kuvamile ukuthi izingulube ze-Guinea zibe nezikhathi ezishintshayo zomsebenzi kanye nokozela usuku lonke. Ngakho-ke, kungaba kuhle ukulawula ukuziphatha kwesilwane osithandayo izikhathi eziningana ngezikhathi ezahlukene zosuku. 

Ngokuqinisekile uzofuna ukwazi ubulili besilwane, kodwa lokhu kungcono ukushiyelwa kumfuyi noma umthengisi onolwazi. Ukuqaphela ubulili ezingulubeni kungaba nzima uma usebenza nezilwane ezincane. Ngoba kulula ngesilwane esincane ukulinyazwa umzamo ongafanele wokubona ubulili! 

Indlela elula ukuhlola indunu. Kodwa-ke, uma kwenzeka le ndlela ingakuqedi ukungabaza kwethu, iqhinga elilodwa lingasetshenziswa. Ngesandla sokunxele, sithatha ingulube ngemva nje kwezitho zangaphambili futhi siyiphendule ngesisu sayo phezulu. Ngentende yesandla sokudla, sibamba umvukuzane endaweni ye-lumbar futhi ngesithupha sicindezela kancane i-subperitoneum (isisu esingezansi) ngenhla nje kwezitho zangasese zangaphandle. Ingcindezi kufanele iqale ibe lula, bese iqinisa kancane. Kwabesilisa, ngaphansi kwesithupha, uyawuzwa umthondo, okuthi ngemva kwesikhashana, uphumele ngaphandle kwejwabu. Uma kungowesifazane, uzobona igebe elimise okuka-Y. 

Bheka isihloko esithi Ukunquma ubulili beguinea pig ukuze uthole incazelo nezithombe ezinemininingwane.

Kufanele uqiniseke ngokwezigaba ngeminyaka yesilwane. Ungathengi ama-gilts ngaphansi kwamasonto amathathu ubudala. Kungcono ukuthola izilwane uma unamasonto amane noma amahlanu. Kubalulekile ukuthi kule minyaka, izingulube azisadingi ubisi lukamama ukuze zikhule kahle. 

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izilwane ezincane zithambisa ngokushesha futhi zinamathele kumbheki wazo. Futhi, akufanele uthenge insikazi endala kunezinyanga ezimbili, ngoba kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kulokhu ngeke ube umnikazi wesilwane esisodwa, kodwa umndeni wonke!
