How to raise soft-shelled turtle in winter

Soft-shelled turtle is rich in nutrition and delicious, so it has always been a good tonic, so many people have raised soft-shelled turtles. But soft-shelled turtles fall into hibernation in winter. So how to raise soft-shelled turtles in winter?

1. First of all, we have to look at the size of the soft-shelled turtle. If the soft-shelled turtle is more than ten centimeters long, it belongs to the adult big soft-shelled turtle and can hibernate. He should be allowed to drain his feces a week or two before hibernation to prevent them from accumulating in the body and causing intestinal obstruction, which is very dangerous and fatal.

two。 If it is a small soft-shelled turtle less than 10 centimeters in size, it will starve to death in hibernation, and the soft-shelled turtle will not eat if it is below 20 degrees Celsius, so the temperature must be raised to above 20 degrees.

3. If the family breeds a small number of soft-shelled turtles, we can use an aquarium with heating rods and thermostats.

4. If it is large-scale farming, dig deeper ponds, or use a greenhouse for heat preservation.

5. Although in winter, the soft-shelled turtle still needs no less than four hours of light a day, otherwise it will also die.

6. Soft-shelled turtles are very picky about water quality, it is not good to be too cold and hot, and the temperature difference is too big. Chlorine can not survive even if the water quality is polluted, and the water quality is very particular.

7. Soft-shelled turtles above 20 degrees should be eaten. We can feed them with fresh, worms, fish and shrimps. Make sure that the food is fresh, pollution-free and does not contain salt. Some dried shrimps containing salt are not suitable for feeding soft-shelled turtles, which can lead to disease.

Soft-shelled turtles hibernate in winter, so breeding must be carefully maintained to avoid death.
