How much is a yellow turtle? How to breed it?

It is well known that the yellow-edge closed-shell turtle is small and exquisite, flexible, poised, ridged, clear and beautiful, which is of great ornamental value. In addition, what is more attractive is that it is very easy to get close to people, interact with people, and are loved by everyone. How much is a yellow turtle? How to breed it?

How much is the price of a yellow turtle?

The yellow edge turtle is easy to raise, the site requirement is not high, easy to take care of; the input cost is low, the feeding cost is low, and the ornamental value is high. Because the number of populations that are not domesticated is decreasing day by day, the yield of artificial reproduction is not high, so if you get a top grade, it is of great collection value.

The price of yellow-edge turtles has been very high in recent years. The price of each yellow-edge turtle on the market is about 5000 yuan, while the price of a real Anhui yellow-edge turtle species is about 50, 000 yuan to 80, 000 yuan, and the price of seedling turtles is about 2000 to 3000 yuan.

Second, how to raise yellow-edge turtles?

The edge closed-shell turtle is a temperature-changing animal, and its feeding and activity range is directly affected by temperature and varies with the rise and fall of air temperature. Artificial feeding should be carried out according to its living habits. When the temperature drops below 15C, the yellow edge closed-shell turtle lurks in the sand at the bottom of the pond. No food, no movement, in a state of hibernation. When the temperature rises above 24C, begin to eat, especially between May and October, the appetite is the most exuberant.

It mainly eats frogs, small miscellaneous fish and shrimp, snail meat, shellfish and earthworms. The daily feed is 5% to 7% of their body weight. Feed should be put around the pool or on the bait platform of the shoal, around noon in spring and autumn, and at 5: 00 p.m. in the hot season.

After feeding, clean the food leftovers in time to prevent spoilage. Make the turtle sick after eating. When the temperature drops below 15C, lurking in the sand at the bottom of the pool, do not eat, do not move, in a state of hibernation, you can stop feeding.

In order to raise Huangyuan closed-shell turtles for temporary medicinal use or processing into medicinal materials, parent turtles, adult turtles and young turtles should be raised and managed in separate ponds, and the pool water should be changed frequently in the breeding process to keep the water quality fresh.

In order to prevent escape, the entrance and exit should be closed with barbed wire. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the harm of natural enemies to young turtles.

III. Daily management of juvenile turtles

1. Regular pool patrol

Patrol the pond once every morning and afternoon to observe the activity and feeding of the juvenile turtles, check the temperature changes and the water quality in the ponds, and carefully check whether the juvenile turtles turn over in each culture pond (that is, the juvenile turtles are turned down. Abdominal armour and limbs up) so that the juvenile turtles can not move. Young turtles newly hatched or young turtles with weak physique have relatively short limbs, thin tails, poor motor ability and poor ability to maintain body balance. in the process of grazing or herding, once the body loses balance and turns over, its limbs and tail can not land in the air, and can not be turned back to normal position only by the support of the head and neck, especially when the juvenile turtle turns over when it moves in the water. If it can not be found in time and help it return to its normal state, it will suffocate to death because its head is submerged in the water and can't breathe.

2. Cover the sunshade net to prevent direct sunlight in the pool.

The yellow-edge closed-shell turtle is a terrestrial turtle, which has the habit of liking dark light, disgusted with strong light and going out at night. In the process of artificial culture, in order to promote the feeding and activities of young turtles during the day, the strong sunlight must be avoided and the light should be kept soft and the light intensity should be below 400LX. For this reason, it is necessary to cover the sunshade net above the breeding pond, or plant plants with vines on one side of the breeding pond, and let the vines climb to the scaffolding above the breeding pond, which can not only block the strong sunlight, but also improve the ecological conditions of the breeding pond. the breeding effect is better.

3. Strengthen heat preservation culture in spring and autumn.

The growth of yellow-edge closed-shell turtles is persistent and uncertain. The main environmental factors affecting its growth are temperature, light cycle, availability of food, water status and so on, among which temperature is the most important. Temperature mainly affects the digestibility and digestion time of food, thus affecting the growth of turtles. When the ambient temperature is lower than a certain value, the peristalsis of the digestive tract of turtles slows down, the appetite decreases, the secretion of digestive enzymes and stomach enzymes decreases, and the activity of enzymes decreases. The time of food digestion was prolonged, and the growth of turtles slowed down. When the ambient temperature continued to drop, the young turtles stopped growing and the growth rate was negative.

The hatching cycle of yellow-margin closed-shell turtle eggs is long, and all the eggs hatch artificially in the middle of September. After the juvenile turtle came out of its shell, summer has passed, when the temperature difference between day and night is gradually increasing, the daytime light is stronger, the solar radiation energy is absorbed more, the ambient temperature is high, the heat dissipates quickly at night, and the temperature drops rapidly, which is very disadvantageous to the growth.

The young tortoise overwintering is small, the physique is poor, after a long hibernation period, not only stop growing, but also lose weight, overwintering mortality is high. Therefore, after entering the middle of September, we should cover the top of the culture pond with double-layer plastic film in time to keep warm for breeding so as to prolong the feeding and growth time of young turtles.
