Mea ʻai ʻīlio

Ua ulu aʻe kā mākou mau hoa ʻīlio ʻīlio ma ke ʻano he holoholona ʻōpala mai ka ʻīlio hae. E ʻimi ana ka ʻīlio hae hina i nā mea ʻai i loko o kahi pūʻulu i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma ke ʻano he kumu meaʻai nui. E ʻohi lākou no ka manawa pōkole i nā mea kanu, nā hua mai nā pūnana a me nā huaʻai. No laila, ua helu ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he carnivores omnivorous.

No laila, e hoʻomanaʻo i ka ulu ʻana o kāu mau ʻīlio hānai mai nā kūpuna ʻai ʻiʻo. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo nā protein i hoʻokumu ʻia i nā holoholona ka mea ʻai nui loa no kēlā me kēia ʻano. ʻO ka hope loa, ʻo ka ʻiʻo ka mea maʻamau iā lākou a me ko lākou kino.

ʻO nā polokina pili holoholona ka meaʻai nui loa no kēlā me kēia ʻano. ʻO ka ʻiʻo ka mea maʻamau iā lākou a me ko lākou kino.

Ke koho ʻana i nā ʻano like ʻole

ʻO ke koho ʻana i ka meaʻai kūpono no kāu ʻīlio he hana paʻakikī. Nui nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻano meaʻai e koho ai. Aia nā meaʻai i hoʻolālā ʻia no kekahi mau makahiki a me ka nui o ka ʻīlio, no laila ʻo ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hōʻemi i kāu mau koho meaʻai hiki ke ʻano paʻakikī. I kekahi manawa, hiki i ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio ke hoʻohūhū i nā mea āpau, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia nā huaʻōlelo i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā huahana kanaka. No ke kōkua ʻana iā ʻoe i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻīlio, ua wehewehe mākou i nā huaʻōlelo maʻamau ma lalo nei.

ʻO ka nui hea?

Nui nā meaʻai ʻīlio e loaʻa i nā ʻano liʻiliʻi, waena a nui paha. He kumu ko kēia mau lepili i ke kuhikuhi ʻana iā ʻoe i kahi meaʻai kūpono no kāu pipi. He mau haneli o nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole, mai nā Chihuahua liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka nui o Great Danes. E pōmaikaʻi ka meaʻai nui i kēlā ʻano ma nā ala maikaʻi loa.

Hana pinepine ʻia me nā kibble liʻiliʻi e kūpono i nā waha liʻiliʻi. ʻO nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi he ʻoi aku ka nui o ka metabolic rate (hoʻohana hou aku i ka ikehu) ma mua o ko lākou mau hoahānau nui. 'O ia ke 'ano o ka 'ai li'ili'i e 'oi aku ka nui o ka 'i'o a 'oi aku ka maika'i no ka ho'opau 'ana i ka hana 'ino.
