How do you give calcium to turtles? What vegetables do turtles eat to supplement calcium?

1. Give your turtle enough leafy greens. In fact, any meat your turtle eats contains calcium, but for most turtles, they may not get enough calcium from protein alone. Leafy greens, especially kale, are rich in calcium.

Most red-eared Brazilian turtles seem to like this vegetable. Ideally, such a vegetable should be eaten every day.

2. Crustaceans, such as crayfish, are provided. Crayfish should not be fed to turtles every day, but they are as important as other crustaceans**. Other calcium-rich foods are cockroaches and crickets, and it is also recommended to feed earthworms, but they have too much fat, so they should be eaten sparingly.

3. Feed feed fish. In my opinion, the most popular forage fish, such as blackhead minnows, are dangerous for turtles because they are low in nutritional value and also contain thiamine. However, some species do increase calcium levels in turtles.

Especially: medaka, guppies, mosquito fish, bluegill, etc. They are all selectable, especially if the fish are kept outdoors in ponds or lakes, where they can eat insects and other calcium-rich foods, which is more effective for giving the turtle calcium.

Shell is a lack of calcium and vitamins, as well as a lack of light, and if you have soft nail disease, it is appropriate to supplement vitamin C and E once a week. Buy the most common 2 fast and much kind of food can be fed shrimp the most calcium taste fishy turtles also like to eat the sun to divide the time period and solar terms, spring and autumn and winter are not suitable for the sun indoor and outdoor temperature difference is large spring is not suitable for the temperature has been kept at 20 degrees for several days in a row to put some water in the breeding box to avoid dehydration of the turtle do not choose the hottest time for the turtle to bask in the sun time to master the time within half an hour and 1 hour to provide the turtle with a half-yang and half-shade environment With this environment, you can appropriately extend the time of sunbathing The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is not suitable for outdoor sun exposure throughout the day.

In a new environment, it is true that turtles may not eat food for a week, but if you don't eat for more than a week, then consider your water temperature, if turtles stay in water below 22 degrees for a long time, turtles are prone to colds. Is the turtle sick? Is the food being fed correctly?

The turtle will increase and decrease the amount of exercise with the temperature and water temperature, and so will the appetite. Do you have any white swelling in your eyes? Are there white spots and signs of peeling on the extremities?

Do you open your mouth to breathe, and your breath still makes a sound? Are there bubbles in the nose? Observe and I'll break it down for you.

As long as the sick turtle is sleepy, it gives people the illusion that it is hibernating in winter.

Is that okay?

1. Green leafy vegetables.

Cabbage, kale, spinach, alfalfa and cauliflower leaves, as well as beet and potato plant tops are all suitable for feeding turtles.

2. Salad. Vegetable salad is also the best food for turtles**. Romaine lettuce, gladiolus lettuce, watercress and beets, watercress and beets are good.

3. Other vegetables.

Vegetables such as turnips, mustard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, clover, peas, pumpkin, and peppers should also be included in the turtle diet. In fact, there are very few vegetables that turtles can't eat. In general, vegetables that are soft and don't have many spines are best.

4. Plants. Turtles can eat many kinds of vegetables and plants. Flowers and plant leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals**. Dandelions, hibiscus, nasturtiums, and weeds are all good foods. In addition, they eat roses and carnations.

In captivity, in order to meet the various nutrients needed for the growth of turtles and avoid stunted growth and anorexia due to single feed, a variety of feeds should be used, such as fish and shrimp, snails, mussels, etc. in animal feed and cabbage, carrots, green cabbage leaves, wheat, corn, lettuce, etc. in plant feed.

Calcium supplementation can eat more yellow and green vegetables such as celery, cabbage, rape, camellia, cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, and cover cabbage, because among vegetables, yellow and green vegetables have a relatively high calcium content.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, and in addition to making up teeth and bones, it also plays a role in maintaining blood pressure in the human body. It is recommended that adults should maintain a daily calcium intake of around 800mg. In addition to vegetables, other foods with high calcium content such as milk, dairy products, soy products, sesame paste, fish, seaweed, nuts, etc. can also be moderately increased to enhance the effect of calcium supplementation.

Turtles live in the water, and mainly eat microorganisms and fish and shrimp in the water, and fish and shrimp can supplement the turtle with calcium.

You can use calcium powder, roll it in the calcium powder with the food you feed the baby turtle or take a small amount and stir it to feed the baby turtle!Let the little one get more sun. It's best not to be separated from things. Feed more live food, such as small fish, small shrimp, etc.

1.Buy special turtle calcium supplements, and buy them in pet stores that specialize in selling turtles. But I personally don't use this method, because now there are too many counterfeit products in China, not to mention pet supplies, the country has not established a perfect inspection mechanism, in case of buying fakes, it will not play a role in calcium supplementation.

2.Go to the pharmacy to buy calcium tablets for people to supplement calcium, now the domestic drug supervision is still relatively large, generally the quality of calcium tablets purchased in pharmacies can still be guaranteed, the calcium tablets are ground into powder, put in food and fed.

3.For semi-aquatic turtles, you can feed more shrimp, snails and other foods when you are usually feeding, which is also a good way to supplement calcium. However, this method does not apply to tortoises.

4.If the turtle is deficient in calcium, it should be injected with calcium gluconate, the injection dose is generally 10% (1 mg 1 kg), of course, the amount of injection should be combined with the size of the turtle, do not risk your own injection until you have to do it, you really need to inject it must consult the advice of a veterinarian.

What to see turtles.

If it's the kind of turtle that can be fed on land, you can add liquid calcium to the lettuce, and if it's often in the water.

You can put calcium tablets (suitable for the size of your mouth) in the food, such as meat, shrimp, and fish.

If it's a baby turtle.

You can give him liquid calcium on what he eats.

1. Improve your diet.

Many turtles are deficient in calcium caused by a single long-term diet, so pets should pay attention to enriching the dietary structure of turtles, do not only give turtles turtle food for a long time, and feed more small fish, small shrimps, fish insects, cuttlefish bones and other foods with high calcium content. When the turtle is obviously deficient in calcium, you can directly throw the cuttlefish bones in the turtle pond, and when the turtle feels the need, it will eat it by itself, and the cuttlefish bones can be stored in the water for a long time, so you don't have to worry about it deteriorating and polluting the water quality.

2. Give the turtle calcium tablets.

If the turtle is more deficient in calcium, it is recommended to directly use calcium tablets or calcium powder to supplement the turtle calcium, you can go to the pet store to buy pet-specific calcium tablets, calcium powder or liquid calcium, or directly use the calcium tablets eaten by humans to grind into powder, and then mix them in feed or other food together to feed the turtle to eat. It is generally recommended to choose calcium powder or liquid calcium, which is easier to digest and absorb.

3. Spend more time in the sun.

Turtle sunbathing can promote the body to form vitamin D3, which in turn promotes the absorption and conversion of calcium, strengthens the precipitation of calcium, and allows bones to grow and develop better. Therefore, everyone should prepare the first slope and sundeck in the fish tank or pond where the turtles are raised, so that the turtles can climb up to bask in the sun at any time. If you don't have the conditions to let the turtle bask in the sun, you can use UVB and other things to dry the turtle's back, which can also play a role in calcium supplementation, but the effect will be much worse.

What foods really provide calcium?

I also raise tortoises by roasting the eggshells on a pan over low heat, crushing them with a rolling pin and feeding them with food.

After eating, it has a noticeable effect.

The reasons for calcium deficiency in baby turtles: long-term feeding of single feed, feeding cooked food, lack of various trace elements in the food, especially vitamin D3, spine grinding into the lack of vitamin D in the turtle's body, and calcium and phosphorus ratio inversion or calcium deficiency, resulting in bone softening of the turtle.

Calcium supplementation method: choose calcium-rich foods, and add some calcium nutrients to the food to increase the amount of calcium nutrients ingested by Brazilian turtles, so as to achieve the purpose of calcium supplementation. In the daily feeding food, you can regularly add an appropriate amount of calcium powder, shrimp shell powder, shell powder, cod liver oil, vitamin D and multivitamins, and some nutritional drugs such as Jin Shi Erkang.

If the calcium deficiency of the Brazilian turtle is more severe, it is necessary to choose intramuscular calcium gluconate, and the specific injection dose should be determined according to the size of the Brazilian turtle.

Eating shrimp <> turtles can supplement calcium. Its diet is more miscellaneous, there are many things to eat, the wild mainly eats small fish, small shrimp, snails, etc., if it is raised in captivity, it can be fed corn, snails and artificial feed. It should be noted that this animal must not be fed food with salt, which will cause edema of its body.

It is necessary to change the water on a regular basis to improve the water quality. It is best to spend time in the sun every day, which helps to sterilize and disinfect.
