Ask some questions about raising small yellow edges

1. Generally speaking, the terrestrial habit of the yellow-edged turtle is more obvious, so the proportion of the land field should be slightly larger when making the environment. Three-quarters of the land field is wide, and the water field accounts for a quarter, and the yellow-edged turtle is usually more active on land, and when it lurks in the shelter or bedding, it also responds a lot, and when it is in the water, it is relatively rare.

2. The yellow-edged turtle likes shady and hidden places, so don't forget to set up hidden places. Try to use a slightly larger size to avoid the hole, and the size of the hole should be more than twice the size of the turtle, so that the turtle can move in it, and it can be placed near the water field.

3. Since the yellow-edged turtle likes to live in a humid environment, humidity management is the key to hunger breeding. It is recommended to use about 10 cm of red jade soil and deer swamp soil as bedding, and put a few centimeters of dry fallen leaves and moss on it, and sprinkle a small amount of water on it regularly. It can be said that the humidity of the bedding is very important, don't make the water is water, the land is the land, the land must be the wet land, you must not forget to sprinkle water on the bedding!

4. The setting of the water field is mainly the size of the water basin and the location of the water basin. First of all, the size of the basin is much larger than that of a turtle, and the depth of the water level is one-half the height of the dorsal carapace, so it is best to change the water every day. Placing the water basin near the avoidance hole of the Yellow Rim, or the middle position of the breeding environment and the only way for the Yellow Rim to move, will be of great help and promotion to the number of times the Yellow Margin is soaked in water and the humidity of the whole environment.

5. Control of temperature and light source. It is best to have 25 degrees during the day and a minimum of 20 degrees at night, just like raising tortoises, ultraviolet lamps are essential, and the lights should be turned off at night so as not to hurt Huang Yuan's eyes.

6. For the Huang Yuan who has just arrived at home, especially the small Yuan, it is necessary to raise it in the water at half the height of its back, and do not feed the food in the first two days, because the Huang Yuan who has been transported all the way to a strange environment, will often bury himself in the cushion or avoid the soil of the hole, and will die due to dehydration, but if you just don't eat and don't like to move, don't worry too much, first rest in the water field for a period of time to recuperate and observe, and then change to the soil environment after normal eating. When Huang Yuan first arrived at home, the temperature and humidity were slightly higher, and he mainly focused on fresh food.

In short, we should create a suitable breeding space for turtles and turtles according to local conditions, and make more reasonable use of limited resources, so that turtles and turtles can grow healthily in a comfortable environment.

How to trap branches indoors, precise oak to create a marginal environment for raising yellow rulers.

It is recommended that you go to the House of the Spirit Tortoise.

1. Buy a turtle.

1. The turtle has just arrived at home and found a quiet place to recuperate, don't rush to take a bath and feed food.

2. Bathe the turtle the next day and wait for the turtle to poop. For a week after returning home, I bathed the turtle every day.

3. The new turtle is not adapted to the environment, and the turtle will be fed food after a week of arrival.

2. Environment. 1. Location selection, in the town to raise yellow-edged turtles should try to avoid noisy and noisy places, turtles are more likely to be frightened by the trembling sound transmitted from the ground, and the sound from this aspect should be avoided. For the site selection of turtle breeding, it is necessary to choose a place with good ventilation and good light) and no air pollution and low noise.

2. The selection of orientation, in order of superiority and disadvantage, is: southeast, east, south, east-northeast, south-southwest, north, northwest, northwest, and west.

3. The minimum size of the site, from the perspective of raising and breeding, a group of turtles needs to occupy at least one square meter, of which there must be: a sand pond at least to square meters and a sand depth of 18 to 20 centimeters for egg laying and hibernation; A pool of about square meters, with a maximum depth of 13 to 15 centimeters.

3. Food. In the long-term evolutionary process, Huangyuan mainly feeds on insects (such as earthworms, centipedes, small worms, etc.). The main food for feeding is bread worms, earthworms, river shrimp, locusts, pupae and centipedes; Beef, chicken. Steamed red rotsh, steamed pumpkin, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, apples, grapes, kiwis, peaches and other jam fruits.

1. Shape characteristics.

The growth rings on each shield are clearly visible. The color of the shield is yellow, hence its scientific name. Abdominal carapace black-brown with yellow margins. There are ligaments between the thorax and abdomen shields, the anterior and posterior halves can be completely closed, the scales on the limbs are well developed, the claws are five in front and four in the back, there are underdeveloped webs, and the tail is moderate.

The head of the yellow-edged heath is smooth and colorful, with yellow or yellow-green sides and olive oil or brown on the top of the head. The anterior end of the snout is flat, and the upper beak has a pronounced hook. The dorsal carapace is dark and high-arched, with a light band, some with a midrib (midline of the dorsal carapace), and the color of the midrib line deteriorates with age.

2. Growth habits.

The wild yellow-edged box turtle inhabits the forest edges, weeds, and shrubs in hilly and mountainous areas, under the roots of trees, in stone crevices and other quiet places. Huangyuan is a turtle that is very easy to domesticate and raise, they are not afraid of life and have tenacious vitality. Omnivorous, wild turtles feed on plant stems and leaves and various insects and worms.

3. Temperament. mild, timid; Like other box turtles, when frightened, they will retract their head, tail, and limbs into their shells, and then close their shells tightly to ward off enemies. The body structure of the yellow-edged box turtle is more special than that of other turtles. It is connected by ligaments between the dorsal and ventral carapaces, and between the ventral shield and the thoracic shield.

Compared with other freshwater turtles, the yellow-edged box turtle is bold, not afraid of people, and rarely fights with its kind. Individuals of 2 to 4 months of age can crawl with their owners under the lure of food.

1. The yellow-edged closed-shell turtle is an amphibious turtle, but it is mainly terrestrial, and can not live in a dry environment for a long time. The yellow-edged closed-shell turtle is more resistant to hunger, but not thirsty, and if it does not drink water for a long time, it can lead to death from lack of water in the body. The yellow-margined closed-shell turtle breathes in the lungs, and will die of suffocation if it is bred for a long time in an environment with a water depth of more than 30 cm.

2. The yellow-margined closed-shell turtle mainly likes to eat earthworms, slugs, centipedes, beetles, snails, geckos, butterfly larvae, as well as various vegetables and fruits in wild conditions. In captivity, yellow-margined closed-shell turtles prefer to eat earthworms, bread worms, and other live bait, and plant feed, such as tomatoes, bananas, apples, etc.

Yellow margin turtle semi-water culture, there are shallow water and soil area, conditional can build ponds to plant flowers and plants to prevent wild breeding, omnivorous, love to eat pumpkin, earthworms, tomatoes, meat, and so on melon fruit flesh insects.

Whether it is good or not depends on what your judgment criteria and reference are, there is no absolute, only relatively good or not.

I raise two kinds of turtles at home, yellowthroat and yellow edge, just talk about my feelings about yellow edge - good interaction is true, compared with other common turtles, obviously not very afraid of people, my yellow edge from the second month of raising, will follow me, waiting for me to give him food. Usually when you give it food, it will stretch its neck to meet it. After all, it is a half-water turtle (and it is on land), so it must have a half-water and half-land environment (generally a land and a bath), and the food needs more meat and vegetables than the turtle.

Another very important issue is that Huang Yuan Miao and larvae have a certain rate of sudden death (often die suddenly without any warning), so if you are a novice and raise it for the first time, it is safer to raise it from sub-adults or even adults (although more expensive).

In short, in addition to the breed of turtle, the owner's experience is actually more important. If you have ever raised tortoises, then Huang Yuan is certainly not difficult to raise. But if you have only raised a turtle, and have never raised a tortoise or a half turtle, then it is recommended that you first accumulate more relevant breeding knowledge before starting to raise, after all, it is not a grass or a flower, and the cheapest yellow edge seedlings are also three or four hundred, in case of death, it is a pity!

There are several points that need to be paid attention to when raising yellow-edged closed-shell turtles at home
