Kungani isihlabathi sikapholi?

Ukugcina ukuhlanzeka ehhokweni lezinyoni akuwona umsebenzi olula, okwenziwa lula kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kokulala.

Impahla yokulala imunca uketshezi, igcine ukungcola futhi ivimbele iphunga elibi ukuba lingasakazeki ekamelweni lonke. Ukusetshenziswa kwezingubo zokulala konga isikhathi ebesingasetshenziselwa ukuhlanzeka kwansuku zonke ehhokweni. Kodwa uma singasebenzisa i-corn filler, hay noma sawdust njengesigcwalisi sezindlu zamagundane, khona-ke ngezinyoni konke kucace kakhulu. Kunohlobo olulodwa kuphela lwezingubo zokulala ezifanele abangani bethu abanezimpaphe: isihlabathi sasolwandle. Futhi yingakho.

• Isihlabathi asiqinisekisi nje ukuhlanzeka ehhokweni, kodwa futhi nokuphepha okuphelele kwesilwane esifuywayo. I-sawdust noma enye i-filler, uma isendaweni yokugaya yenyoni, izobangela ukuqunjelwa okukhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akulula ukuthi izinyoni zihambe eduze kwama-filler anjalo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isihlabathi sasolwandle sithuthukisa ukugaya ukudla futhi siyindawo ekahle yokugaya izinzipho. 

• Isihlabathi solwandle (isibonelo, i-Fiory) siqukethe inani elikhulu lamaminerali ngenxa yokwengezwa kwamagobolondo e-oyster (ngesikhathi senqubo yokukhiqiza, amagobolondo achotshoziwe futhi adlule nge-autoclave ukuze asuse amakhona abukhali nama-chips). Ngakho-ke, isihlabathi siwukugcwalisa kanye nokugqoka okuphezulu okuwusizo okusuthisa umzimba ngamaminerali, usawoti, i-calcium futhi kuthuthukise impilo yamathambo noqhwaku lwenyoni.

• Isihlabathi sivumela inyoni ukuthi iguge izinzipho noqhwaku.

• Isihlabathi solwandle esisezingeni eliphezulu esihlinzekwa ezitolo zezilwane sicutshungulwa ngokukhethekile ngaphambi kokuba sikhishwe ukuze sidayiswe. Ayinawo ukungcola, ayiqukethe amagciwane ayingozi, futhi ayibeki usongo empilweni yesilwane sakho esifuywayo.

• Isihlabathi sasolwandle siwusizo kakhulu ezinyoni kangangokuthi ngisho noma usebenzisa okokulala okuhlukile, kusanconywa ukubeka isitsha esihlukile sesihlabathi ekhejini. 

• Ezitolo zezilwane ezifuywayo, ungathenga isihlabathi se-lemon noma se-mint esizogcwalisa igumbi ngokusha. Lokhu kumnandi ezinyonini nakubanikazi bazo.

Manje sesiyazi ukuthi opholi badinga isihlabathi ngani.

Njengesiphetho, ngingathanda ukuqaphela ukuthi isihlabathi kufanele sithengwe kubakhiqizi abathembekile abaye bazibonakalisa kahle emakethe yempahla yezilwane zanamuhla. Phela, asikho isidingo sokubeka impilo nenhlalakahle yezilwane ezifuywayo engozini!
