Turtles lay eggs, how are they raised, and how do turtles reproduce?

Turtles generally do not mature until they are more than 8 years old, and they mature well after 10 years of age. The mating time of turtles begins in late April, usually between 17 and 18 p.m., and they mate on land or in water. Turtles lay their eggs on land, and the egg-laying period is from May to August.

Before laying eggs, turtles mostly crawl to a more hidden and loose place far from the shore before dusk or dawn (the moisture content of the soil is 5%-20%), and dig the soil into a hole alternately with hind limbs (generally about 10 cm deep and 8-12 cm in diameter), and then lay the eggs in the hole, and then cover the eggs with soil after laying eggs, and flatten the soil with a belly armor before leaving. Turtles do not have the habit of guarding their burrows and eggs; Another reproductive feature of it is that the maturation of the egg is not synchronized. Therefore, the female turtle lays eggs 3 to 4 times a year, and each time a hole lays 5 to 7 eggs.

When artificially breeding turtles, before the mating period, select sexually mature turtles, carefully raise, ** sufficient nutrients, especially should be fed more protein-rich feed, in order to help turtles produce excellent reproductive cells; Secondly, during the mating period of the tortoise, the sexually mature and healthy male and female tortoises are combined and raised in a ratio of 1:1 to allow them to mate naturally. During the spawning period of the tortoise, it is necessary to keep the rearing pond quiet and the suitable humidity of the sand in the open space outside the pond so that the female tortoise can lay eggs smoothly.

Finally, turtle eggs should be collected at any time and artificially hatched in order to obtain a higher reproductive rate and improve economic benefits. 1. Natural incubation. There are also two methods of natural incubation, one of which is:

Dig a sand pit of 20-40 cm wide and 20 cm deep (length is not limited) at the foot of the sunny wall of the turtle pool, and then fill the pit with yellow sand, and arrange the turtle eggs in the sand soil at a distance of 1 cm, maintain a certain humidity, increase the temperature by the sun, and produce juvenile turtles in 50-60 days. Second: pile a number of small sand piles around the turtle pool, let the mature turtles climb ashore at night, dig holes in the sand piles to lay eggs, let them hatch naturally, and the hatchlings will emerge in about 50-70 days.

2. Artificial incubation. Put the retrieved turtle eggs in a wooden box with a height of 25 cm (the length is not limited, the width is adapted to local conditions), drill a number of small holes at the bottom of the box, lay 15-20 cm of sand at the bottom, row the turtle in the sand, and then sprinkle about 2 cm thick fine yarn on the eggs, cover the sand with wet towels, and keep the indoor humidity 25-35 degrees. On sunny days when the air is dry, sprinkle water on the sand 1-2 times a day, and the air humidity is larger, which can reduce the number of sprinkling.

The box is covered with a wet cloth, and when the juvenile turtle comes out of the shell, it can prevent the juvenile turtle from escaping, prevent the invasion of enemies, and prevent mosquito bites, so that the juvenile turtle comes out of the shell in 50-60 days, and the turtle rate is more than 90%.

It will continue to lay eggs, usually seven or eight eggs at a time, so give it more meat and nutritious food recently.

Aren't tortoises laying eggs?

Turtles generally lay eggs to lay eggs (May to August is the peak of egg-laying).

Build the best breeding environment.

1. Reproduction requires a certain amount of space. As long as the adult turtle will find a mate to complete the mating during the mating season, what needs to be done is to let the turtle have free space to move and build an egg-laying area. In the case of polyculture, it is recommended to separate each species during the mating season to avoid bites between different species.

2. Male and female ratio. The optimal ratio is 1 male with 2-3 females, and the specific ratio should be controlled according to the breed and conditions of breeding. 3. Create an spawning area.

An egg-laying area needs to be created, as the mother turtle will peel off the dirt to lay her eggs in it when she lays her eggs. The spawning area should be deep enough that the average turtle will lay between 2 and 10 eggs. After the mother turtle lays her eggs, carefully dig out the eggs and hatch them separately.

How to hatch 1 incubator. If you can, you can buy a special incubator, which will save a lot of trouble. However, as long as the temperature and humidity are well controlled, it can be incubated in a simple plastic box.

2. Self-made incubator. Simple sorting boxes, plastic boxes can be. If there is a lid, ventilate it.

3. Incubation bedding. The bedding can be made of vermiculite, earth, moss, or a variety of mixtures. The bedding should be damp, but not too much water.

4. Placement of eggs. Be careful and mark the eggs with a marker to make sure they are facing in one direction each time.

5. Temperature determines gender. For most turtles, the sex of the baby turtles is determined by temperature rather than genes, and higher temperatures will hatch mostly females. Each species of turtle needs a different temperature, and too high a temperature can cause bad eggs.

6. Check the eggs. Check the eggs once a week for the first month and a half. Make sure it's damp but not moldy.

After 45 days, check more often. Don't wash the eggs with water, and don't rush to help the baby turtle come out of the shell.

7. Throw away the bad guys. Just because an eggshell is cracked or blemishes doesn't mean it's a bad egg. You can try to hatch, but when you are sure that one egg is bad, you should throw it away in time so that it does not affect the other eggs.

Hatchlings out of the shell 1, remove the waste shell in time. Once the baby turtle hatches, the waste shell should be thrown away in time so that the unhatched eggs are not affected. 2. Place young turtles.

When hatchlings emerge, they absorb the nutrients from the yolk attached to their abdomen. Place the hatchlings in a new, moist container until the yolk has been fully absorbed after a few days. Wait until the yolk is fully absorbed, then place it in shallow water.

3. Feed the young turtles. Baby turtles should be fed at least once a day, either with a mixture of protein, fruits, and vegetables. Some specialized baby turtle food can also be used.

4. Too high protein in the diet of young turtles will cause the shell to be deformed, so it can be found and adjusted in time. Otherwise, it will be difficult to grow well. Normally, turtles lay eggs and breed between May and October.

Naturally incubated.

Method 1: Dig a sand pit artificially in the sunny place of the turtle pond, then fill it with yellow sand, put the turtle eggs into it, about 1 cm deep, pay attention to the light, and the sand pit should have humidity, generally 50-60 days later can hatch out of the turtle baby.

Method 2: It is convenient to pile a lot of small sand piles in the turtle pond, so that the mother turtle will climb ashore at night, and the mother turtle will dig a pit to lay eggs, and the turtle eggs hatch under natural conditions, and the time required is about 50-70 days.

Artificial incubation. Prepare a wooden box, then drill a small hole under the box, then spread about 20cm thick sand, then put the turtle eggs on top of the sand, then spread a layer of fine sand about 2 cm thick on the surface of the turtle eggs, and then cover the fine sand with a wet towel. In the later stage, ensure that the indoor temperature is 22-25 degrees Celsius, the temperature is high, the incubation time is short, and the climate is dry and can be sprinkled with water on the fine sand to ensure sufficient humidity. The box needs to be covered with a cloth that needs to be wet, so as to prevent the hatchlings from escaping and to prevent victimization.

According to this step, it can be hatched completely in 50-60 days, and the turtle emergence rate is high, reaching more than 90%.

First of all, you need to do some preparations, disinfect the things you need to hatch the turtle eggs, such as sand, clean them, and disinfect them in the sun. Don't disturb the mother turtle when it lays eggs, and create a quiet environment for it. Most mothers lay eggs in the evening, at night or in the early hours of the morning, but some mothers lay eggs at noon.

This is not particularly fixed, just make sure not to disturb the mother turtle during its spawning period.

When the mother turtle lays the turtle egg, you need to observe whether the egg has been fertilized. Within 24-72 hours after laying eggs, if there are white spots on the turtle egg, then the egg is fertilized, and if there are no white spots, it is not fertilized. It should be noted that the freshly laid turtle egg should not be moved, and it can only be moved after 24 hours, because the embryo in the freshly laid turtle egg is very fragile, so in order to be able to successfully reproduce the turtle baby, so do not move the freshly laid turtle egg

Then it's time to hatch the eggs.

There are two main ways to hatch turtle eggs, one is natural incubation and the other is artificial incubation.

Naturally incubated. There are two methods of natural incubation: the first is to artificially dig a sand pit in the sunny place of the turtle pond, then fill it with yellow sand, put the turtle eggs into it, about 1 cm deep, to ensure that there is light, the sand pit maintains a certain humidity, and the baby turtle can be hatched after 50-60 days. The second method is to pile a lot of small sand piles in the turtle pond, so that the mother turtle will climb ashore at night, and the mother turtle will dig a pit to lay eggs, and the turtle eggs hatch under natural conditions, and the time required is about 50-70 days.

Turtles lay eggs, pay attention to the following:

The first thing to do is to determine if the egg is fertilized. If you have both male and female turtles, you can prepare an egg-laying pool for the female turtle. If only a female turtle has been raised, and it has been raised since childhood, then such eggs cannot hatch and can be eaten.

Turtles are irritable, active in the evening, and have a decreased appetite, indicating that they are about to lay eggs. Spread out a clean plastic bag and put it in a container the size of a shoebox and hold about 20 cm of clean fine sand. The height of the box is not enough, and the price should be appropriately high to prevent the turtle from escaping.

After feeding, the turtle is bathed in warm water and placed in the spawning pool. Turtles need a quiet environment when laying eggs, and don't always check them out so as not to frighten the mother.

After the turtle lays eggs, the spawning pool is placed at the position of 22 33, the air humidity is controlled at 80 90, and the sand humidity is controlled at 8 12. On the 45th and 48th day, the juvenile turtle will emerge from the shell.

The juveniles that have just hatched for 1 to 2 days do not need to be fed, and only after 2 days do they start to feed a small amount of cereal feed, and then they are fed a small amount of hard-boiled eggs and a mixture of ground fish and shrimp, frog meat, pumpkin and sweet potatoes.

In both cases, turtles need to be fed for laying eggs and not laying eggs, and they need to be fed more and better.

Of course, after giving birth, it eats a lot, and it is best to have live loaches for it to eat, which is very replenishing, and it is also very helpful for the next egg it lays, and the eggs will not smell too fishy. It's like a person's confinement, but the quality of the food also determines the number and quality of eggs. Our family is usually fed loaches, and we can give birth to more than 20 in one summer.

Raw in batches, up to three at a time, our family's tortoise.

It definitely needs to be not, and the tortoise must consume a lot of physical strength after laying eggs, so if you eat in this way, it will be easy to recover your physical strength.

The sand used for incubation is cleaned, disinfected and exposed. Turtles lay eggs mostly in the early morning, late afternoon and night, and a few in the middle of the day. When spawning, the environment should be quiet, and in addition to collecting eggs, try not to enter the spawning ground as much as possible, so as not to affect spawning.

Using the nature of the turtle to erect some tree trunks or bricks in the sand pit**, it may attract the turtle to lay eggs in **, and divert it from other patrolling female turtles to avoid rotten eggs.

May to October is the spawning season for turtles. Before that, it is necessary to prepare the turtle before laying eggs. Check whether the sand in the spawning grounds is sufficient and whether the sand is moist and suitable. Check that the incubator, sand and soil are ready, and that the thermometer, hygrometer, sponge and other utensils are equipped.

Why do they all say that males must be more than five years old to reproduce, and you say that it will be in three years, and which of you two is right?

Turtles generally reach sexual maturity in 4 to 5 years, and the mating period is from May to August each year under artificially heated conditions.

Before laying eggs, the turtle first digs a hole with a diameter of 8 cm and a hole depth of about 10 cm, and then the tail is facing the eggplant and the quasi-burrow, and the hind limbs are slightly elongated when laying eggs, so that the eggs slide along the hind limbs into the burrow, so as to avoid the rupture of the eggs. After the eggs are laid, the turtle uses its hind limbs to fill in the burrow, and the surface of the burrow is slightly lower than the ground. The whole spawning process takes about 2 hours, and the eggs are white and oblong.

It is difficult for the average domestic pet turtle to lay eggs. The main trembling is that the environment does not allow it, and it is difficult for families to create a suitable environment for turtles to lay eggs. Temperature, humidity, and soil type are all critical.
