How to raise turtles

Tortoise is a very common amphibian and the oldest reptile in the world. Now there are more and more species of turtles, which has given rise to various breeding directions such as pets, meat and so on. And the culture area is also expanding, due to the wide range of use, the benefit of turtle culture is very good. But how to raise turtles? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Prepare the breeding site

The first step in breeding turtles must be to prepare the breeding site. The quality of the breeding site has a lot to do with the growth of turtles. When preparing the site, we should pay attention to controlling the water quality, water depth, temperature and other aspects. Also make sure that the turtle has a place to bask in the sun, and the water should not be too deep, otherwise it will affect the growth of the tortoise. Then cultivate the right amount of water plants in the water, which can not only regulate the water quality, but also provide a place for turtles to rest in the sun, and can also play a role in cooling in summer.

2. Do a good job in raising

Feeding has a direct impact on the growth ability of turtles. When feeding, we should pay attention to adjust the feeding method reasonably according to the growth stage of the tortoise. In the baby turtle period, mainly to the special feed on the market. Should pay attention to control the amount of feeding, should not be fed too much, because the baby turtle's stomach is relatively small, and digestion is not strong. If you feed too much, it is easy to cause the young turtles to be indigestible and die in serious cases. When the tortoise is an adult, it can give priority to meat feed. Then it is necessary to fish out the unfinished feed in time to prevent deterioration from causing the tortoise to eat by mistake and affect the growth of the tortoise.

3. Strengthen daily management

In fact, the breeding method of turtles is relatively simple, and it is not so troublesome to manage. However, we should also pay attention to some details, such as cleaning the turtle shell frequently, there will be a lot of dirt in the shell, if it is not cleaned in time. It is very easy to produce bacteria, leading to diseases such as rotten shell disease. Then we should urge the turtle to exercise, promote fattening, and properly let the tortoise bask in the sun to ensure that the tortoise can grow healthily. Finally, when we feed the feed, we should not change the feed frequently to prevent it from being unable to adapt in time, leading to gastrointestinal diseases and other diseases.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

Finally, there is the disease prevention and control of turtles. Although turtles have a strong ability to adapt, poor management can also lead to disease. In the process of breeding, if the temperature fluctuation is too large, it will lead to turtles unable to adapt in time, causing heatstroke, colds and other problems. But also to control the water quality, if the water quality is too poor, it will produce a variety of bacteria and parasites, resulting in turtle infection and reduce the survival rate. Therefore, when we breed, we must change water regularly, strengthen management, give priority to prevention, and improve the resistance of turtles.

If there are some abnormal conditions when breeding turtles, it is necessary to find out the specific reasons in time, and then deal with the symptoms. Do not treat blindly, otherwise it is easy to lead to other bad phenomena of turtles. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
