How to raise the old turtle

If raised at home, the old soft-shelled turtle can be bought in a container filled with water, the water quality should be fresh and rich in dissolved oxygen. If you use tap water, you need to be exposed to the sun two or three days in advance, and start feeding minced fish and minced meat. A month later, you can feed small fish and artificial feed. In addition, some stones should be put in the container so that the old soft-shelled turtle can climb out of the water. In the process of breeding, in addition to feeding, pest control is also very important. Let's take a look at it.

Disease and insect pest control of old soft-shelled turtle

1. Rotten skin disease

The occurrence of skin rot is caused by bacterial infection after the soft-shelled turtle fights and bites each other. The disease occurs all the year round, is prevalent in spring, and is sometimes complicated with furunculosis, causing serious harm.

Measures: the general density of breeding should not be too large to avoid the situation of struggle. It is also necessary to keep the pool water clean and disinfect and sterilize regularly. Like large-scale farming, weighing 100 grams, 3-5 per square meter; weight about 200 grams, 2-3 per square meter.

two。 White spot disease

White spot disease is prevalent all the year round, with the most from March to June. Great changes in water temperature and poor water quality are the causes of the disease. At the onset of the disease, white spots appeared on the limbs and skirt of the diseased soft-shelled turtle and gradually expanded into a white patch with irregular edges, with necrosis and partial disintegration of the epidermis.

Measures: thoroughly clear the pond (fish tank) with quicklime, sunlight exposure and so on can reduce the incidence of the disease, but also avoid great changes in water temperature, abuse of antibiotics and so on. For those who have developed the disease, they can disappear with 0.104% salt and 0.104% baking soda bath for two consecutive courses.

If the old soft-shelled turtle is raised on a large scale, we must pay attention to control the density, monitor the water quality and the situation of the old soft-shelled turtle, and find the bad situation and remedy it in time.
