I kekahi manawa pilikia ka maiuu popoki. Hiki iā lākou ke hōʻino i ke kaiapuni o ka pōpoki (nā lako, nā kapeta, nā pale, a pēlā aku) a me nā lālā o ka ʻohana. Eia naʻe, e ʻokiʻoki lākou iā lākou me ka ʻōnaehana?

He ʻano like ko nā māiʻuʻu me ko nā kui: ʻokoʻa ko lākou ʻano akā hana ʻia lākou i ka keratin. Ma waenakonu o ka māiʻu e hele nā ​​kīʻaha koko a me nā aʻalolo. ʻAʻole hoʻomau kēia mau mea i ka hopena o ka māiʻuʻu. ʻO kēia ke kumu o ka ʻoki ʻana me nā wēlau o nā māiʻuʻu ʻaʻohe mea ʻeha. ʻO ka ʻāpana peripheral ʻoi loa o nā mākia i nā manawa maʻamau. No laila ʻaʻole ia he mea maʻamau ka loaʻa ʻana o nā molts, e like me ke ʻano o nā hakahaka, nā māiʻuʻu i haʻalele ʻia.

He nui nā kuleana o nā māiʻuʻu i ke ola o ka pōpoki. ʻO kā lākou kuleana nui e hopu i nā pio a ʻae lākou e piʻi i luna. Hoʻohana ʻia lākou e pale aku i nā congeners a i ʻole nā ​​mea ʻaihue. He mau mea kaua nui lākou a ʻaʻole pono e hoʻowahāwahā ʻia nā mea hōʻino hiki iā lākou ke kumu.

Ma waho o ka ʻimi holoholona a i ʻole ka huhū huhū, loaʻa i nā pōpoki ke koho o ka huki hou ʻana i ko lākou mau māiʻuʻu. He mākau kēia i ka hapanui o nā pōpoki. Lawe iā lākou i waho e wili i nā wahi i kahi hiʻohiʻona a me nā māka kemikala, me ka waiho pū ʻana o nā pheromones. ʻO ka hana o ke kui keu kekahi manawa kūpono e hoʻolōʻihi i nā lālā a mālama i ke ʻano retraction, e pili ana i nā mākala a me nā olonā. Hāpai pū kekahi i ka ninini ʻana i nā māiʻuʻu, e like me ke kāhiko ʻana.

E like me kāu e ʻike ai, ʻaʻole pono ka hapa nui o nā pōpoki iā mākou e ʻoki i ko lākou mau māiʻuʻu. ʻAe ka moult i ka hoʻohou hou ʻana o nā māiʻu e mae mau i ka wā o ka piʻi a me ke kui. Eia nō naʻe, i kekahi mau kūlana, hiki ke lilo i kēia lāʻau i mea maikaʻi.

Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, i kekahi mau hihia, pono ka ʻoki ʻana i nā māiʻuʻu e pale ai i ka oki ʻana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, i ka hanana o ka ʻūlū ʻino, i nā pōʻaiapili maʻi e laʻa me, hiki ke hoihoi loa i ka ʻoki ʻana i nā māiʻuʻu o ka pōpoki e pīpī ana i ke kahe ʻana o ke koko. Eia hou, i ka hanana o ka implantation a i ʻole ka ulu ʻana o nā māiʻuʻu, wili lākou i kekahi manawa a hele e kanu iā lākou iho i ka ʻili o ka pōpoki. ʻO ka ʻokiʻoki maʻamau a laila ʻaʻole koho hou akā pono.

I kekahi ʻaoʻao, hiki keʻoki ʻia nā māiʻuʻu e kaupalena ai i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā lako a me nā kānaka a i ʻole nā ​​holoholona ʻē aʻe. I ka manawa e ʻokiʻoki ai, e hoʻokala hou ka pōpoki iā lākou, akā e emi ana ka maikaʻi no kekahi mau lā a i kekahi mau pule.

Inā aniani nā māiʻuʻu, a ʻo kēia ka hihia i ka hapanui o nā pōpoki, maʻalahi ka ʻimi ʻana i ke aa waena. E hohola i ka maiuu e ʻoki ʻia e kaomi mālie ʻana ma waena o nā pad. I ka manawa e nānā pono ʻia ai ka māiʻi a ʻike ʻia, e hoʻohana i kahi mea ʻoki liʻiliʻi e hoʻokaʻawale i ka piko o ka māiʻuʻu, ma ka liʻiliʻi he 1 a i ʻole 2 mm ma hope o ka hopena o ke aa. E hoʻomau me ka mālie a me ka mālie iʻole e hoʻoweliweli i ka pōpoki. Paipai ʻia ka hoʻoikaika ʻana me ka ʻapo a i ʻole nā ​​makana (ʻai, kibble, a pēlā aku.) Paipai ʻia hoʻi e hoʻohana ʻia nā pōpoki iā lākou mai ka wā kamaliʻi mai e kaupalena i ke koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka ʻoki ʻana. E akahele, ʻoki pinepine paha hiki ke hoʻonāwaliwali i nā māiʻuʻu e hiki ai ke wāwahi.

I ka hopena, hiki i ka ʻoki ʻana i nā kui ke kūpono i kekahi mau hihia akā ʻaʻole pono ia no ka olakino o ka pōpoki. Inā paʻakikī ka ʻoki, hiki i kahi koho ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia o nā "kiaʻi kui". Maʻalahi e hoʻopili, me kahi kāpili i hāʻawi ʻia, uhi nā hihia silikona liʻiliʻi i nā māiʻuʻu a ma kahi o 1 mau mahina. He ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e koho i kahi nui kūpono a e nānā pono e hoʻokō pololei ʻia ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻana o nā māiʻuʻu. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia mau ʻano hana ʻelua ma mua o ka hemo ʻana o ka mai o nā maiuu i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ma o ka ʻAkelanika a he hopena koʻikoʻi ko lākou no ka pono o ka pōpoki. No kekahi ʻike, mai hoʻokaʻulua e hoʻokaʻaʻike aku i kāu kauka holoholona nāna e hiki ke hoʻomaopopo iā ʻoe.
