Indlela yokukhetha udoti wekati

Kunezinhlobo eziningi zemfucumfucu yekati emakethe namuhla ukuthi ukukhetha okulungile kungaba umsebenzi onzima. Yini okufanele uyifake kuthreyi yekati ukuze isilwane siye endlini yangasese ngenjabulo? Indlela yokukhetha udoti wekati?

Ikati elingcono kakhulu ukukhetha udoti eliwuthandayo neliwusebenzisayo. Kubalulekile ngokulinganayo ukukhetha eyodwa ezoba lula kumnikazi ukuyihlanza.

Izinto okufanele zicatshangelwe

Ngaphambi kokuthola ikati elisha noma ukuzama uhlobo olusha lukadoti lwekati eselivele lihlala ekhaya, kuwumqondo omuhle ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane kusenesikhathi futhi uthole iseluleko sakhe. Khona-ke kufanele ucabange ngezici zokugcwalisa, kufaka phakathi ukuthungwa, i-absorbency kanye nokusebenziseka kalula.

Njengoba i-ASPCA iveza, ukuthungwa kubaluleke kakhulu ngoba amakati ayazwela ukuthi ukugxusha kuzwakala kanjani ezidladleni zawo. Uma isilwane esifuywayo singakuthandi okusendlini yaso yangasese, sizothola enye indawo yokwenza ibhizinisi laso. Kungaba izitshalo zasendlini, ukhaphethi, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nombhede womnikazi.

Izinhlobo zodoti wekati

Udoti wekati otholakala emakethe uyahlukahluka ngokuvumelana, ikhono lokuhlanganisa, kanye nokunambitheka.

Ukukhetha ukungaguquguquki

izigcwalisi zobumba

Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zemfucumfucu yekati yobumba: i-absorbent ne-clumping. Udoti wekati omuncayo owenziwe ngobumba wethulwa okokuqala emakethe ngo-1947. Ngeminyaka yawo-1980, udoti wokuqala ohlanganisayo wasungulwa. Ngaphambi kwalokho, abanikazi bekati basebenzisa isihlabathi - yingakho amakati engakwazi ukumelana nebhokisi lesihlabathi lezingane elivulekile. “Amakati amaningi akhetha udoti wobumba ocolile kunezinye izinhlobo,” kuchaza uPam Perry, uchwepheshe wokuziphatha kwezilwane e-Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Amapellets obumba afana nomhlabathi othambile noma isihlabathi esisetshenziswa amakati endle. Kokubili imfucumfucu emuncayo futhi ehlangene ingadala uthuli, kodwa ezinye izinhlobo zodoti zobumba zenziwe ngokukhethekile ukuze kuqedwe le nkinga.

I-silica gel filler

Iyini ijeli ye-silica yamakati? Igcwele ijeli ye-silica ecacile, efana ne-sachet encane amabhola acacile owathola ebhokisini lezicathulo ezintsha. Inesakhiwo se-crystalline futhi ibiza kakhulu kunezinye izinhlobo zodoti wekati. Kodwa ithatha umswakama kahle, idala uthuli oluncane kunezinye izinto, futhi ihlanze ngenkuthalo ibhokisi likadoti wekati. Lokhu kulula kakhulu kokubili izilwane kanye nabanikazi bazo.

Amakristalu amabi angase angathandi ikati lakho, kodwa izitolo zinikeza ukugcwaliswa ngamakristalu abushelelezi afana namaparele. Njengodoti wobumba olumuncayo, ijeli ye-silica ingakwazi ukumunca umswakama, okwenza umchamo uhlangane ethreyini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, udoti we-silica gel akufanele usetshenziswe uma isilwane sinomkhuba wokudla indle. Ijeli ye-silica ingaba yingozi uma igwinywe ikati, inja, noma esinye isilwane esifuywayo esijabulela ukudlala nokuqukethwe kwebhokisi likadoti.

Ezinye izinto zemvelo

Ziningi ezinye izindlela zemvelo esikhundleni semfucumfucu yobumba yendabuko, okuhlanganisa iphepha, uphayini, ukolweni, ama-nutshell, kanye nommbila. Njengoba kuphawulwe i-International Cat Care, “eziningi zazo zinesisindo esincane, ziyabola futhi zinezici ezinhle kakhulu zokuqeda iphunga,” okuzenza zibe izinketho ezikhethwayo. Kubantu namakati anokungezwani nemvelo kanye nesifuba somoya, izinhlobo eziningi zemvelo zikadoti, ikakhulukazi udoti wegobolondo le-walnut, zitholakala ngendlela ye-kibble. Ezinye, ezifana nalezo ezenziwe ngezikhwebu zommbila, zincipha, zinciphisa inani lothuli olukhuphuka lusuka kudoti luye emoyeni kanye nama-pellets ahlakazekile endlini. Kodwa-ke, uma ilungu lomndeni noma ikati linokungezwani nokudla noma ukungabekezelelani, kufanele ufunde amalebula esithako ngokucophelela ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi udoti uphephile ukusetshenziswa.

I-Clumping noma i-absorbent fillers

I-Absorbent fillers

Ama-Absorbent fillers adumile ngenxa yokufinyeleleka kwawo. Ungathenga isikhwama esikhulu ngemali encane - futhi sidonsa kahle umchamo namaphunga. Uma usebenzisa udoti wobumba olumuncayo, ikati lakho ngeke libe mancane amathuba okuthi lisakaze udoti endlini ngoba udoti omkhulu awubambi ngezidladla zawo. Okunye okungalungile kwe-absorbent padding ukuthi idinga ukushintshwa okuphelele okungenani kanye ngesonto. Uma kungenjalo, i-filler igcwele umswakama futhi umchamo uqala ukuqoqa phansi kwethreyi.

Ukugcwalisa i-filler

Imfucumfucu yobumba ibiza kakhulu kunodoti omuncayo kodwa ithandwa abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo ngenxa yokusebenziseka kwayo kalula. Lapho usebenzisana nomswakama, izinhlayiya zokugcwalisa zakha izigaxa eziminyene, ezisuke zisuswe kalula nge-scoop. Njengoba umchamo ungaqoqi ethreyini ye-clumping, ukuhlanza ithreyi nokufaka ngokuphelele okuphakathi kwawo ngokuvamile akwenziwa isikhathi esingaphezu kwesisodwa ngenyanga.

Lapho ukhetha udoti wethreyi lekati, uhlobo lwayo lokugoqa kufanele lugwenywe. Amakati anelukuluku avame ukudla indle yawo, adlale ku-litter box, futhi akhothe izinhlayiya ezidladlayo ezidladleni zawo. I-Clumping filler, emunca umswakama, iyakhula, futhi uma ikati ligwinya isigaxa esinjalo, kungabangela ukuvaleka kwamathumbu. Ngokwesincomo seCat Health, kuwukuhlakanipha ukuyidlala iphephile futhi ugweme ukunqwabelanisa udoti wezinyane lekati kuze kube yilapho isikhulile imigilingwane yazo yobuntwana.

Umthetho wesithupha awukona ukusebenzisa imfucumfucu emakati adla indle yawo. Uma isilwane esifuywayo sibonwe senza lokhu, kufanele uxhumane nodokotela wakho wezilwane.

Ama-fillers ane-flavour noma ama-fillers angenalutho

Uma ibhokisi likadoti linuka njenge-lavender esanda kusikwa, iphunga lingacasula umuzwa wekati wakho wokuhogela. Isilwane esifuywayo sinama-receptors okunuka acishe abe yizigidi ezingama-200, kuyilapho umuntu enezigidi ezi-5 kuphela. Yilokhu okwenza izilwane ezifuywayo zizwele kakhulu ephunga. Kodwa udoti wekati oqukethe i-baking soda noma amalahle awubakhathazi kakhulu.

Esikhundleni sokukhetha imikhiqizo enephunga elimnandi, susa iphunga ngokuhlanza ibhokisi likadoti okungenani kanye ngosuku, noma kaningi uma kunamakati amaningi ekhaya. Kuyadingeka futhi ukuthi ushintshe isigcwalisi cishe kanye ngesonto futhi ugeze ithreyi ngamanzi nesoda yokubhaka noma okokugeza izitsha okunganamakha. Ungawashi ibhokisi likadoti ngezinto zokuhlanza amakhemikhali noma izibulala-magciwane, njengoba eziningi zazo zinobuthi emakatini. Ungabeka ungqimba oluncane lwesoda yokubhaka ngaphansi kwethreyi bese ufafaza udoti ohlanzekile phezulu ukusiza ukumunca iphunga.

Indlela elula yokuzama ama-fillers amaningana ngesikhathi esisodwa ukusetha amathreyi amaningana anezinhlobo ezahlukene zokugcwalisa. Ngakho-ke ungabheka ukuthi yimuphi kubo umngane wakho onoboya ozokuthanda kakhulu. Ngenxa yokuthi izilwane ezifuywayo eziningi ziyalizwa iphunga nokuthungwa kukadoti omusha, kubalulekile ukuqapha ukuziphatha kwekati lakho ebhokisini likadoti kuyilapho “lihlola” udoti omusha. Uma eqala ukuchama ngaphandle kwethreyi, kufanele uzame olunye uhlobo. Uma lezi zinkinga ziqhubeka, kufanele ukhulume nodokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze nixoxe ngempilo yohlelo lokuchama lwekati lakho.
