双语 | 养宠物猪之前“好脏”,养宠物猪之后“真香”!

  前几天,一个狗子上了热搜。

  因疫情原因,西安的刘女士要离家隔离14天,由于隔离不能带宠物,她就将狗子独留在家,并为其准备了充足的食物和水。

  隔离期间,刘女士通过监控,眼睁睁看着自己的家被狗子一天天地拆完——先把沙发掏个洞,再把衣服、鞋子和包包都拆了。


  养狗人士介绍说,狗子这种行为是焦虑的表现,由于见不到主人,狗子独自在家会恐慌不安,所以通过这种撕东西的行为,来缓解自己的焦虑。


  不过,狗子把家拆成这样,确实是让人绝望。一时竟不知是该心疼主人,还是该心疼狗子……

  然后东方君就想到:猫咪会挠沙发,狗子会拆家——有没有一种宠物,是只会吃吃喝喝睡懒觉的?

  “精致的猪猪宠物”

  还真的有。

  比如,现在有很多人都开始养宠物猪。

  提到猪,大部分人脑海里浮现的是养猪场里脏臭、吱哇乱叫、哄抢食物的形象,其实,“佩奇”也有可爱的一面。


  国外有网友搜罗了许多“佩奇”的可爱照片,并且还罗列了“养猪”的各种必要条件和注意事项。

  如果你想要养一只精致的猪猪,一起来看看吧!

  Pigs can be great pets as they are intelligent, they like being with people, they are actually clean animals and the bristly hair pigs have is hypoallergenic. 

  猪可以成为很好的宠物,因为它们很聪明,它们喜欢和人在一起,它们实际上是干净的动物,而且猪身上的鬃毛也不易引起过敏。


一头有buck tooth(龅牙)的猪

  You can teach them tricks like a dog and even take them on walks as they can be leash trained.

  你可以像逗狗一样去逗它们,甚至可以遛遛它们,因为它们可以接受牵引训练。

  This sounds very fun, but as with any animal, there are many things to consider first. A big thing is where to keep one and what to feed it. All the small pigs in the photos are actually baby pigs, so they are not grown up yet.

  这听起来很有趣,但与养任何动物一样,首先要考虑很多事情。其中很重要的一点就是养在哪、喂什么。照片中的所有小猪实际上是猪仔,它们还没长大。


  Often people don't expect them to grow up so big and have to give them away.

  人们通常没预料到小猪们竟然能长那么大,然后不得不把它们送走。


  Another thing pigs need is an outdoor area because they need to use their natural instinct to forage for roots and fungi. Their skin is actually quite sensitive and can get sunburnt easily, so when they are kept outside, they need shade.

  猪需要的另一个重要的东西是户外区域,因为它们需要利用本能去觅食根茎和真菌。它们的皮肤实际上很敏感,很容易晒伤,因此在室外时,需要为它们遮阳。


  When kept inside, considering how big they are, they might need a separate room with blankets for them to nest in.

  当在室内饲养时,考虑到体型,它们可能需要一个单独的房间,而且还要一条毯子来做窝。


  Pigs are known for eating almost everything, so it can be dangerous to leave them hungry as they will find something to stuff their stomachs with which might not be the best for their guts.

  众所周知,猪几乎什么都吃,所以让它们饿着是很危险的,因为它们会找东西来填饱肚子,但这些东西可能对它们的肠胃不好。

  So having a pig is quite a financial commitment as maintaining the outdoor and indoor spaces as well as finding the appropriate food can add up. 

  所以养猪是一笔巨大的经济投入,因为维持户外和室内空间以及寻找合适食物的费用会积少成多。


“朋友一生一起走”

  Then you should remember to take it to the vet regularly. The bills for that should not be forgotten when calculating if you could afford a pet pig.

  然后你得记得定期带它看兽医。在合计你否能养得起宠物猪时,不要忘了这方面的开销。

  Potential pig owners should remember that these animals might live up to 20 years, so they have to be sure that this isn't just a temporary wish. It's a living creature and you just can't get rid of it when you get bored.

  想养猪的人得牢记,这些动物可能会活到 20 岁,因此他们必须确保这不仅仅是一时的冲动。它是活生生的生物,当你厌烦时,不能把它扔掉。


一头会“放电”的猪

  These are just some of the biggest things to consider, but if someone is interested in a pet pig, they should definitely dedicate time to investigate what living with such an animal entails, talk to other owners, specialists and then 

  evaluate their own capabilities of maintaining a safe and loving home for a pig.

  以上这些只是需要考虑的最重要的事情当中的一部分,但如果有人真的对宠物猪感兴趣,他们应该花点时间去研究养猪需要什么,在咨询其他宠物猪主人和专家后,评估一下自己为宠物猪提供一个安全且有爱的家的能力。
