Will turtles die if raised in salt water?

I think turtles are often seen in daily life, and with the continuous improvement of people's living standards in our country, tortoises have gradually become a more common dish, so the demand for turtles is also increasing in recent years.

Will turtles die if raised in salt water?

Yes, it is not a sea turtle. It is absolutely taboo to add salt to the water and soak the turtle in salt water. It does more harm than good.

What food does the tortoise eat?

Turtles usually eat pork, mutton, animal offal, bread worms, earthworms, live fish, shrimp, shrimp, vegetable leaves, rice, melons and fruits, and so on. Or go to the pet market to buy small fish so that the tortoise can hunt on its own, so as to stimulate the turtle's appetite for food.

The meat food for turtles had better be raw meat, and the food for insects had better be fresh. Feed raw meat should be soft, do not add any salt substances such as edible salt, and make sure there is enough drinking water.

What does the tortoise eat to grow fast?

First of all, you have to understand what kind of tortoise you are. According to their different living environment, they can be divided into five types: terrestrial turtles, aquatic turtles, semi-aquatic turtles, marine turtles and benthic turtles. They eat different things. You have to understand that.

The feeding habits of aquatic turtles are generally omnivorous. Most semiaquatic turtles are carnivorous. Most terrestrial turtles are herbivorous. On the other hand, ordinary farmed turtles are omnivorous animals, feeding on animal insects, worms, small fish, shrimp, snails, clams, plant tender leaves, duckweed, melon peel, wheat, rice, weed seeds and so on.

If you want your tortoise to grow fast, it should be fed regularly. Combine animal food such as small fish and shrimp with some plant foods such as tender leaves of vegetables, so that the turtle can grow faster.

The knack of raising turtles every day

1. Containers for raising turtles: when I was a child, turtles were raised in washbasins, filled with sand (all sand washed repeatedly with water) and shaped into a slope shape. The height of the water should ensure that the turtles were all not underwater in the deep water. In the shallow water, the tortoise can put its head out of the water. I usually put less water, and the tortoise can bask in the sun on the "highland". Now the equipment for raising turtles is more advanced, and some are equipped with a gentle slope, along which the tortoise can climb to the "shore" to bask in the sun. In short, whether you make your own equipment or buy a ready-made one, it should enable the little turtle to both swim and leave the water.

2. Temperature control: the tortoise is a hibernating animal. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will move slowly. Sometimes you think it is dead without moving for several days. Nowadays, most people keep turtles indoors. Turtles rarely hibernate if there is indoor heating. In addition, family-fed turtles can keep up with nutrition, and they can stay alive in winter. Someone has added a temperature control device to the tortoise, which is not very necessary, but since the heater is installed, it is best to set the temperature to about 20 degrees. This is the turtle's favorite temperature range, and it grows faster.

3. Food collocation: turtles are omnivores. Of course, fish is his favorite food. If they are little turtles, they can't eat the whole fish. You can buy special turtle feed. The basic ingredients of the feed are dried fish or shrimp skin, which can be mashed and fed to little turtles. When the tortoise grows up, it eats more. It can eat starchy food, eggs, meat and vegetables, just like raising pigs. However, it should be noted that the food should not go bad, the dead fish that cannot be eaten should be fished out as soon as possible, and the food should be well matched with a variety of dishes and meat. Some little turtles do not eat when they are bought, so you have to apply the food to his mouth and slowly he will learn.

From the above analysis, we know that turtles are not suitable to live in salt water, and turtles are suitable to live in clear water, so breeders should first understand the living habits of turtles in order to make turtle breeding better.
