    Feeding of water turtles: small fish, small shrimp, screws, raw meat and other nutritious foods. The baby turtle should cut the raw fish and shrimp and feed them well. Do not feed cooked lean meat, fatty meat and indigestible food. Otherwise, it will cause indigestion.

    Going to get sick. If you don't have a filter at home, it's best to change the water once a day, and feed it once a day, don't feed too much, the turtle doesn't feel full, and the vitamin will not digest well, causing swollen legs. The amount of food a turtle eats is determined by the size of each turtle's head.

    Turtles defecate after eating, so it is easy to get rid of the meat tank if it is not cleaned in time. The water department is clean, and the turtle is easy to get sick when it stays in the water.

    As long as the water quality is kept clean (the water quality is best exposed to direct sunlight for more than 1 day, it can prevent turtle white eye disease and water mildew, nail rot, rot skin disease, etc.) and the water temperature is constant (the water temperature is maintained well to prevent turtles from catching colds and pneumonia.

    and other diseases) these two points are not easy to get sick if you grasp the general formula of turtles. 1. The turtle is an amphibian, if it is placed in a pure pool that is not connected to the land, the pool must be placed with stones, bricks and other platforms exposed to the water surface for the turtle to dry its back and rest, the turtle likes to hide in the hole, so you can use bricks to build a turtle nest to improve the turtle's sense of security.

    2. Most of the turtle's eating behavior is carried out in the water, and sometimes it is also eaten on the shore, and the food can be directly thrown into the water, or the food can be placed in the shallow water or near the slope of the water and land. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head.

    3. Water turtles like to eat meat and fishy food, small turtles are mainly meat, and they can eat some vegetarian ones when they are older, and they can generally be fed small fish, small shrimp and earthworms.

    Loaches, animal offal, snails, crickets.

    A small amount of red meat. Bananas, melon peels, etc.

    4. The turtle has to bask in the sun again, and it can't be in hot weather.

    Direct sun, it is best to use a semi-shaded environment, the maximum temperature of the turtle breeding water environment should not exceed 37 degrees, in summer, pay attention to the pool shading, generally use large-leaf plants for shading.

    5. Do not feed when the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion. Turtles are most adapted to temperatures of 25-30 degrees, when they grow the fastest.

    6. The higher the temperature, the greater the amount of food, but when the temperature is too high, the amount of food decreases, the lower the temperature, the smaller the amount of food, and the fastest temperature of turtle meat is 28 30 degrees.

    7. The bigger the turtle, the less the number of feeding, the smaller the turtle, the more the number of feeding, the seedling turtle is generally fed 3 times a day, the baby turtle is generally fed 1 time a day, and the adult turtle is generally fed once in 2-3 days. Female turtles should be fed more during the egg-laying season, and more nutritious foods should be fed on the eve of hibernation.

    8. Hibernation is generally in East China.

    From November of that year to April of the following year, when the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, it will enter the state of hibernation, put the turtle in the shallow water with a high back, and place it in a dark and quiet environment, the temperature during hibernation should be kept between 3 12 degrees, the best hibernation temperature is 8 10 degrees, it is forbidden to bask in the sun during hibernation, otherwise the turtle will wake up often, which will greatly consume the physical strength of the turtle, and may die due to physical exhaustion in the spring.
