How to grow crocodile turtles Culture techniques of crocodile turtles

Crocodile turtle is a kind of tortoise, its shape is different from that of ordinary turtles, its shell looks like the shell of a crocodile, so it has the origin of the name. Now the crocodile turtle is also very popular with people, and many people want to raise it. However, before breeding, everyone wants to have a comprehensive understanding of its breeding technology.

How do crocodile turtles grow fast

1. The young turtles of crocodile turtles raise newly hatched turtles. After the umbilical cord is converged, they are sterilized with 10% salt water and placed in a container with a water temperature of 25 mi 30. The water is changed three times a day. After 3 days, the mixture of cooked eggs and millet can be fed. About 50 days later, minced fish, snails, clam meat, animal offal and leftovers were fed. It can be transferred to cement pond after 90 days.

2. The adult turtles of crocodile turtles are fed mainly with small fish, snails, clam meat, animal offal and leftovers, supplemented by some soaked wheat, chopped corn and vegetables, aquatic plants and so on. Vitamins, trace elements and calcium should also be added appropriately. Feed it at 10:00 and 5pm every day, and change the water once in 7 days in spring and autumn and once in 3 days in summer. After late October, it has entered the period of hibernation.

Culture techniques of crocodile turtles

1. Turtle pond construction: choose a place where the water source is convenient, pollution-free, transportation is convenient but quiet. Its shape is appropriate to the east-west rectangular arc corner of the cement pool or the same shape but external anti-escape wall soil pool, each pool area of dozens of square meters ~ hundreds of square meters.

2. Feed feeding: it is recommended to use SDG special green formula feed for crocodile turtles (protein content is more than 48%). During the preparation, the ingredients are weighed on the spot, and the photosynthetic bacteria with a total weight of 5% to 10% and about 45% of the water are added to make long particles with a particle size of 2 mm ~ 3 mm. If there are conditions, make floating expanded pellet feed, the effect is better.

3. Water quality regulation: in view of the fact that under the condition of high-density intensive turtle culture, the turtle has more food intake and excreta, and the water temperature is higher, even if the feed is green feed, the pollution rate of water quality is faster, and it is easy to produce more harmful substances in the water, especially H2S is more harmful. Through sprinkling and bottom application of photosynthetic bacteria, the water quality can be effectively improved and harmful substances can be reduced. When adding new pond water, 10 × 10-6 15 × 10-6 photosynthetic bacteria were applied at the same time.

4. Regulation of water temperature: the scientific regulation of water temperature directly affects the weight gain and survival rate of adult turtles. Under the condition of 18 ℃ ~ 20 ℃ for a long time, the growth rate of crocodile turtles is several times slower than the optimum water temperature of 30 ℃ ~ 31 ℃. Therefore, it is important to keep the water temperature of turtles within 30 ℃ ~ 31 ℃. On the other hand, when the tortoise ponds that are changing water or exposed to the outside world happen to encounter severe weather such as heavy rain or sudden changes in temperature, we should take precautions in time to avoid the variation of water temperature greater than 2 ℃.

Feeding skills of crocodile turtles

1. Turtles eat in the water and put the feed directly into the water when they are fed. Turtles are generally fed with pork, beef, shrimp, small fish, poultry and fish liver, these foods should be chopped or torn, but these animal feeds are very easy to pollute the water quality, it is recommended to feed the turtles when feeding.

2, beginners suggest feeding feed, feed is more worry-free, and professional turtle feed nutrition match is better, it is not easy to pollute the water quality. Turtles have a high temperature in summer and have a fast metabolism. They can be fed once a day, but it is generally recommended that turtles are fed twice a day. Turtles do not need to be fed too frequently. They are animals with a slow metabolism. It is no problem to feed them once a few days, as long as they have an adequate supply of water, it is no problem for them not to eat for half a month, and the amount of turtles fed each time is usually the size of their head.

What if the crocodile turtle has pneumonia?

One capsule of amoxicillin and amoxicillin powder is melted in boiling water every day and then diluted in about 1 liter of water. Just soak the turtle in it, and then don't pour out the potion, and the next day's medicine will be added to this, and the potion will be changed for 3 to 4 days until the symptoms of the tortoise subside. Under the mediation of medicine, if your tortoise is not getting better, play the music to him when you give him the medicine.

Crocodile turtles grow well and quickly as long as they are cultivated with the right skills. First of all, we should pay attention to the regulation of water quality, and then the control of water temperature is also very important. Reasonable feeding is the most important step to ensure its growth, and timely disease prevention and treatment is needed. Only by doing this well can the crocodile turtles grow up healthily.
