Ask for the most detailed grass turtle breeding information, grass turtle breeding methods!

Grass turtles have a wide range of diets and are basically not picky eaters, but they love to eat tenderloin the most; Live fish, shrimp (shrimp is best decapitated), etc. I suggest that you raise a grass turtle, choose your own staple food or see what it likes to eat the most, and then usually get something else to adjust the following.

Like me, I eat live small fish as a staple, and then often change shrimp, meat, etc. Note that it is not advisable to feed until full, and 7 minutes of fullness is fine. Otherwise, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, which is also not good.

We hereby warn all turtle friends: it is strictly forbidden to feed the so-called turtle food provided by the vendors! The main raw material of these three-free turtle food is flour and then mixed with coloring and spices to cheat money, don't be gullible!! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!!

Have you just bought it for a few days, that's natural, my turtle is the same, as long as you insist on feeding him every day, about 4-6 days, your turtle will be familiar with the environment here, and eating will not be a problem.

The first floor is very detailed.

References are fine.

1.Environment.

Get a tank, the bigger the better, preferably a rectangular glass fish tank, a large sorting box is also fine. Water turtles live in the water, and the water depth of raising turtles is generally slightly higher than the turtle's back, not more than 2 times the height of the turtle's back, and it is best to provide a piece of land above the water, such as a stone, so that the turtle can climb up to dry its back; Turtles need sunlight and are recommended to be placed on a south-facing balcony or room. However, if there are infants or pregnant women in the family, it is best not to raise turtles, which are easy to carry some germs.

In summer, you should cover up properly and don't get too much sunlight. To prevent the growth of algae in the tank, you can buy algae removers, which are sold in most aquarium stores. The bottom of the tank can be paved with small pebbles or large pebbles.

However, if it is paved, it is very troublesome when changing the water, and novices recommend using a bare tank, which is not paved at all. Do not put aquatic plants in the water.

2. Water for raising turtles.

If you want to use tap water that has been dried for more than 2 days (for the purpose of chlorination), it is best to prepare 2 plastic buckets to dry, which can meet the needs of water change. It is recommended to change the water once every two to three days, and only need to change a part of it each time, and there is no need to change the water in the whole tank, unless the water and the surrounding area of the tank are very dirty. When changing part of the water, use a plastic tube to suck out the dirty water at the bottom by using the siphon principle, and then add new water of the same capacity (that is, tap water to dry for 2 days) into the tank.

Turtles that change the water in this way will not have white eye disease or rotten nails. If you are troublesome, you can use a filter, which is the kind used for fish farming, which can stabilize the water quality, and how to use nitrifying bacteria can create a good environment. Change the water more frequently in the summer.

2. Turtles eat in water, and when feeding, just put the feed directly in the water. Turtles are fed pork, beef, shrimp, fish, poultry and fish livers, which are chopped or shredded, but these animal feeds are very susceptible to polluting water quality. It is recommended to take the turtle out and feed it in a separate container when feeding.

Novices are advised to feed feed, good feed such as lifeblood, inch gold, are good. The feed is more worry-free, and the professional turtle feed has a better nutritional match, and it is not easy to pollute the water quality. In summer, the temperature is high, the turtle metabolism is fast, you can feed it once a day, but it is generally recommended to feed it two to three days a day, the turtle does not need to be fed too often, it is no problem to feed it once in a few days, as long as you ensure sufficient water**, they don't eat for half a month, and the amount of each feeding of the turtle is generally the size of their head is enough.

4. About hibernation.

From October to May, when the temperature drops below 13 degrees, the turtle begins to hibernate until the temperature rises to 18 degrees Celsius. Hibernating turtles do not eat or move, only sleep. The easiest way to hibernate is to move the turtle into a dark and quiet place indoors, hibernate in shallow water (just above the carapace), and change the water once a month.

In addition to changing the water, try not to disturb the turtle. Be careful not to lower the temperature than 6 degrees, otherwise it will endanger the turtle's life. However, it is advisable to use a heating rod in winter, as natural hibernation is associated with a high mortality rate.

The heating rod is the kind that raises tropical fish, the temperature is set at about 30 degrees, and the tank is covered with a lid.

How grass turtles are farmed

1. The food of the grass turtle, the grass turtle is an omnivorous turtle, so it has a lot of food, such as turtle feed, small fish and shrimp, rice, vegetables, fruits, lean meat, etc. Generally speaking, when the grass turtle is young, it can be fed more meat to make the grass turtle grow faster, and when it is an adult, it will be mainly vegetarian and turtle food.

2. Light, grass turtles need a certain amount of light, which is conducive to the growth of grass turtle shells, so it is best to let grass turtles bask in the sun for a certain period of time every day.

3. Temperature, when the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the grass turtle will begin to hibernate, at this time it is necessary to prepare moist sandy soil, or appropriately increase the temperature of the grass turtle's living environment.

4. The grass turtle that has just been bought home should not be fed immediately, and it is best to wait for the grass turtle to be familiar with the environment before feeding a certain amount of live bait.

Grass turtle breeding methods include: containers, water temperature, and water quality.

1. a container

Grass turtles are not large in size when they reach adulthood, but they require a lot of space to move around. When breeding, the breeder needs to prepare a larger container for them to make them better developed.

2. Water temperature

Grass turtles are relatively adaptable to the environment, and their requirements for the environment are not high. In captivity, as long as the water temperature is between 18-32, they can survive normally. However, in low temperatures, the appetite and activity of grass turtles will be reduced, so it is best to keep the water temperature between 22-28.

3. Water quality

Grass turtles do not have too high requirements for the pH of water quality, and can survive in weak acid, weak alkali and neutral water. When artificial breeding, it is only necessary to change the water frequently to ensure that the water quality is clean.

Precautions for raising grass turtles

Grass turtles also belong to water turtles, but they also need to dry their backs in life, so they need to place stones exposed from the water in the water tank or their own sundeck, which can give grass turtles space to bask in the sun and promote calcium absorption.

There can not be too many decorative debris in the water, if there are too many decorations, it may get stuck in the grass turtle, and the water level is too high will cause the grass turtle to get stuck and not breathe out of the water, which is very dangerous, and it is best to raise it in a bare tank.

Raising grass turtles should pay attention to heat preservation, the general temperature between 20 and 30 degrees is the temperature that grass turtles are very suitable for, below 20 degrees will lead to indigestion of grass turtles, but also to replace the water of grass turtles in time, so as not to have residual food deterioration and pollute water quality.
