How to raise musk turtle seedlings

The requirement of water depth is that the head can protrude from the water surface in childhood. Water quality requirements: high water quality requirements, can be cultured using biochemical filtration system. Temperature requirements: more than 20 ℃, maximum not more than 28 ℃. Prepare for the party: use pebbles to make the party. Raise food: feed turtle food in the market. Mixed culture problem: turtles such as razor turtles and grass turtles can be mixed. Life habits: rarely get out of the water, like to live at the bottom for a long time.

1. Water depth requirements

1, generally raise musk turtle seedlings of the pool, or the amount of water in the tank must not be too deep, with the head of musk turtle seedlings can reach out of the water to breathe air.

2. Otherwise, the musk turtle seedlings may feel scared, and this reaction is not acquired, because the musk turtle is afraid of deep water in its infancy, and it can gradually increase the depth of deep water when it is mature.

II. Water quality requirements

Raising musk turtles at home is different from large-scale breeding. In the process of breeding, to ensure the cleanliness of water quality, it is best to prepare a set of perfect biochemical filtration system suitable for musk turtles' life, which is conducive to the robust growth of musk turtles.

Third, temperature requirements

Musk turtles are native to America, so they are relatively suitable for temperate climates. during breeding, the water temperature must be guaranteed and must not change too much. generally speaking, the water temperature should be maintained above 20 ℃, and the highest should not exceed 28 ℃. Such water temperature can ensure the normal growth of musk turtles.

Get ready to party

Musk turtle is a kind of water turtle, which is generally kept in a small aquarium. It is also necessary to prepare a suitable party table to finish the operation of sunbathing. It can be a relatively large pebble or something that can be used to make a party floor.

5. Raising food

Musk turtles have higher requirements for food, the general food is mainly molluscs, but also need to supplement a variety of rich nutrients, normally the tortoise food on the market can still meet its needs.

VI. Mixed cultivation

Musk turtles can be mixed with other turtles of the same species. Common razor turtles and grass turtles meet the conditions for mixed culture, or you can choose suitable heterosexual musk turtles for mixed culture.

VII. Life habits

1. Musk turtles are typical omnivores, eating everything from plants, small fish, insects and even animal remains, but their foraging is mainly carried out on the sludge at the bottom of the water, because musk turtles rarely leave the surface of the water.

2. The name of musk turtles comes from a common feature of these turtles. When they are disturbed, a pungent liquid is released from the incense glands to deter light eaters, and the male turtles are also aggressive.

3, musk turtle is a kind of nocturtle, often buried in the mud during the day to rest, until dusk to start activities, foraging generally do not know how to swim, but walk in the bottom of the water, like to live in the bottom for a long time, so it also causes the shell of the turtle to grow full of algae, when the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, it will enter the underwater sludge to hibernate.
