How to raise turtles

Nowadays, many people like to raise turtles, one of which is that turtles are easier to feed, the second is that turtles can attract money and eliminate disasters, and the third is that turtles mean longevity. And the tortoise is a really lovely animal, which is also known as the immortal beast in ancient times. And now there are more and more turtle friends, but there will be a lot of problems in breeding. In fact, the tortoise also has its own survival method and environment, as well as food and so on. There are many people still do not know how to raise their own baby turtles, and then let the pro-agriculture network to introduce to you the methods of turtles.

1. Living environment

The tortoise is an amphibian, it needs water and beaches, so we need to create a suitable environment for our baby turtles. What is more proud is to make a pool for the turtles at home, and the second is to use a water tank. But the water in the tank should not be too much, generally slightly higher than the back of the turtle. The water tank can be a high and low slope to give it a place to rest, or it can put stones in the middle of the tank to form a shoal. Then, the water used for raising turtles can not be used directly with tap water, but should be kept in the sun for two days first. Many people think that turtles do not have to change water frequently, so you would be wrong to think so. Turtles should change water frequently, about every two to three days, but there are skills to change water. Only 2/3 of the water should be changed each time. And try not to feed in the water.

2. Feeding

The turtle you just bought is very shy, so when you feed it, you should pay attention to stay away from it. Don't stare at it to see if it is eating or not. After it slowly gets familiar with it, it will look up at you every time you go to feed it. That begging expression is really super cute. And feeding should pay attention to observe the change of temperature, with the change of temperature, the number of feeding and the amount of food will change. When the tortoise wakes up after a long hibernation, it is fed every three days on average, usually between 10:30 and 14:30, just like when a person wakes up, there must be nothing to eat, and so can the tortoise. The temperature difference changes greatly in autumn, so the best time for feeding should be 10:00-11:00 and an average of once a day. The standard of food intake is generally that it can be finished within an hour after feeding, and the unfinished food should be fished out in time to prevent the turtle from eating spoiled food and causing it to get sick. Of course, it is also important to note that before the tortoise goes into hibernation, the tortoise must be full to ensure that it can store enough energy to survive the winter.

3. Temperature

There are two kinds of temperature. One is the temperature of the water where the tortoise lives. The water is generally constant and cannot be hot and cold. The second is the sun, the tortoise needs to bask in the sun from time to time, but the time should not be too long, too long it will sunburn its shell and even lead to skin disease, so each time is generally 15-20 minutes.

4. Food

Turtles eat everything, but should also pay attention to nutrition, otherwise it will lead to malnutrition and cause a variety of diseases, generally small turtles will have a better calcium feed, or choose foods with high calcium content, such as fish and shrimp. And don't feed the turtle cooked food or frozen food, so it's easy to kill the tortoise.

5. Disease

The most common disease in raising turtles is pneumonia. the initial symptoms of pneumonia are generally loss of appetite, bad spirits and something similar to snot. If this is the case, you have to find a way to get it to take medicine and treat. the general way is to prepare his favorite food, sprinkle amoxicillin powder on it and let him eat it, and your tortoise will be fine in about a week.

Although the tortoise looks easy to feed, in fact, it is still very fastidious, and there are many details to pay attention to, otherwise your tortoise will get sick accidentally. friends who have learned after reading, if they have other better breeding methods, they can also recommend to us, oh, if you want to know more about turtle breeding techniques, you can follow us.
