Breeding methods and matters needing attention of tortoise

The method of breeding turtles: the suitable temperature for growth is 20-30 ℃, the turtles are farmed in the pool, a small amount of silt is kept at the bottom of the pool, and some aquatic plants can be planted, the water level of young turtles can not be higher than 5 cm, and the water level of adult turtles is not too deep, during which clean water should be changed every 2 days, and young turtles can eat meat, while adult turtles can eat fruits and vegetables. Matters needing attention for breeding turtles: cover the pond with mesh to prevent the turtles from running away, basking in the sun frequently, etc.

First, the method of raising turtles

1. Culture environment

(1) it is generally chosen to raise turtles in a pond, which needs to be built with cement, then leave a small amount of silt at the bottom of the pool and put some pebbles so that the turtles can play on the pebbles.

(2) some aquatic plants can also be planted in the pond, which is helpful to shade the turtle and purify the water quality.

2. Main points of seed selection

The main results are as follows: (1) when selecting turtle larvae, we should first observe whether its appearance is beautiful and undamaged.

(2) then observe its activity, choose the tortoise that crawls fast, and observe its sinking state when it jumps into the water.

(3) finally, depending on its feeding condition, choose the turtle that eats well.

3. Water level and water quality management

The main results are as follows: (1) the management of water level in farmed turtles is relatively strict, so it is necessary to reasonably control the water level, especially the water level of young turtles, which is generally not higher than 5cm.

(2) as long as the water level of adult turtles is not too deep, tortoises have high requirements for water quality. generally, when breeding, clean water should be changed every two days, and the temperature suitable for turtles to grow is generally between 20 and 30 ℃.

4. Feeding

(1) the choice of food for turtles varies at different growth stages. Young turtles like to eat meat, while adult turtles like to eat fruits and vegetables.

(2) the feeding habits of turtles are special, so the time and place of feeding are generally fixed, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure the diversity of turtle food every day.

5. Disease prevention management

1. Turtles belong to a relatively long-lived species, and generally they seldom get sick, so they mainly start with prevention.

2, during the period to strengthen the amount of exercise of the tortoise, help to strengthen the physique, and then need to change water frequently, but also need to take the right amount of vitamins every week.

II. Matters needing attention in breeding turtles

1. The tortoise hibernates for a very long time. When the temperature is below 15 ℃, it is possible to enter a dormant state, usually in winter.

2. When building a culture pond, the four walls should be smoother, which can prevent the turtle from escaping, and can also be covered with a layer of net yarn above the culture pond.

3. Turtles often need to bask in the sun to replenish calcium and sterilize. When basking in the sun, they need to be out of the water. There is no shelter during the period, but they should not be exposed to the sun for a long time.

4. Generally, when changing water for the culture pond, the tortoise needs to be taken out first, otherwise it is easy to cause the turtle to choke water.
