虽然目前并无任何精确的研究显示有关龟类痴肥对健康的影响. 但我认为这点应该重视. 龟类皆被困于它们的壳内:太多的陋肉,会使内藏紧压及弄伤. 龟类寿命的缩减及慢性健康问题亦有可能和痴肥有关. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;"><br/><br/></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">水龟类,痴肥可以由简单的观察发现. 当你观察龟只时,如令它的头回缩入壳,后肢有否同时凸出? 如有,这只龟就应该太肥了! 初生体和幼体亦可能有喂食过量的情况,只是与其痴肥致死,它不于将多余的食物用于生长上,因而形成甲壳畸形或缩减寿命.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;"><br/><br/></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">我和我的妻子都十分注意喂食. 一只数月大之幼体,我们用</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">隔日喂饲</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">周期. 每次喂食,水龟个别分缸,方便我们观察各龟的食量. 每一只喂食时,我们都容许它在数分钟内任意食用. 首要的规则是:食物的供应,最多只可如它的</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">头</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">+</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">颈</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">的大细. 只有当龟只生病或明显太廋时,我们才会增加喂食. 只在这情况,才会改用</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">每日喂饲</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">周期,以帮助它回复健康.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;"><br/><br/></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">采用</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">隔日喂饲</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">周期,尤其在初生体,似乎颇难忍心. 但紧记,大部份的龟只的原有野生环境中,它们都没有可能,每天得到充足的高素质食物供应(或甚不是每天有食物). 除了它们在冬眠或夏眠之外,它们生长都是缓慢但稳定的. 我听到有例子,因为成长过速,两年后就开始交配和繁殖,而同品种的个体,要成长至老态才能达致繁殖体形! 我觉得成长过速是龟甲畸生(如隆背)的主因,同时亦是长期病患的原因.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;"><br/><br/></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">究竟各个不同品种的龟类,如何喂食及其份量如何,并不是本文主旨. 试查询一下自然生态和龟只的天然食物,并且尝试采用同样的餐单. 大部份陆龟都以高纤维,底蛋白质的草本植物为主,间中加一些蔬菜及水果. 〔译者按:装上有饲主发现,陆龟十分爱吃原生地的花朵,可能有蜜挂?)半水栖龟类,十分欢迎混合植物和昆虫的饲食,和陆龟不同它们为杂食性,可以蔬菜,水果,昆虫,蚯蚓及其它非植物喂饲. 有言在先,我的半水栖龟主要是喂以</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">Tetra's ReptoMin </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">和</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;"> Wardley's Reptile Ten</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">龟粮的. 喂食适当,我的幼龟都在主食中(蔬菜,水果,昆虫,蚯蚓)间中吃龟粮,它们都十分健康成长至成体. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;"><br/><br/></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">如龟只有明显</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">肥硕</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial;">”</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 宋体; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">的情形,应改用减肥餐单. 通常这对饲主的难度比宠物更大.龟类如其它动物,是能够训练的!
