How to raise turtles, small, palm sized turtles

Turtles are very easy to raise, so let's talk about how to raise baby turtles quickly.

If the temperature of the living environment is relatively low, the turtle will enter the stage of hibernation and not eat, so we can add a warming rod or light bulb to the fish tank to heat.

If we want to raise small turtles quickly, the water depth of our turtles should not be too deep, because if the water for raising turtles is relatively deep, the turtles will not eat in this case, we can make some small platforms, and the turtles that do not eat will not grow up.

If you want to raise baby turtles quickly, we can feed the turtles some turtle food, or give some fresh small fish or shrimp that the turtles like to eat, etc., and the baby turtles will grow up naturally.

If we want to raise baby turtles quickly, we should always put the fish tank where the turtles are raised in the sun, so that the turtles can bask in the sun more, and the sun is conducive to the growth of the turtles.

Turtle rearing management.

1) Management of juvenile turtles.

In order to improve its disease resistance, it can be disinfected with 10% normal saline or 1ppm high manganese potassium water, and it is not fed during the disinfection period, and can be fed with cooked egg yolk and egg white after 3 days, and can also be fed with some cooked livestock and poultry blood, and moved to the temporary pond after 7 days. The temporary pond is generally a rectangular cement pool of 5-10 square meters, in which the water surface accounts for 2 3, and needs to be disinfected with 10% quicklime before stocking, and the stocking density is about 100 square meters. Feeding begins on the 4th day after stocking, and the food table can be floated on the water with a wooden board or bamboo raft, and the food table generally occupies about 1 10 of the total area.

The feed should generally be fine, such as cooked poultry eggs, noodles, rice, bean dregs, minced fish and shrimp meat, etc. When the hatchling turtles are wintering, they can be moved indoors, and a wooden plate is placed indoors, and the back of the plate is evenly sprinkled with centimeter-thick fine sand, and the sand is covered with gauze, and an appropriate amount of warm water can be safely wintered.

2) Breeding of adult turtles.

The turtle pond is generally an earthen pond, the water depth is 1-meter, the slope of the pond embankment is 1:3, the water inlet and outlet are set in the pool, part of the water duckweed or water peanut is placed for shade, the wall is built around the meter-high wall, the small island of 1 * meter is left in the wall, and the sand is placed on the island for the turtle to lay eggs; If it is a cement pool, the depth of the pool is 1 meter, the depth of the water is about 1 meter, the mud is 20 cm, the pool is set up with an entrance and exit, the pond leaves a small island of 1*, the island is surrounded by grass, and the sand is placed in the middle for the turtle to inhabit and lay eggs. The stocking density of land and cement pond should not be too large, generally about 10 meters (square meters).

Turtles have a wide range of eating habits, small fish, shrimp, snails, mussel meat, vegetables, rice and wheat can be eaten, generally when the water temperature rises to more than 15 degrees to start feeding, 6-9 months is the peak food period, November begins to eat down, when the water temperature drops below 5 degrees into hibernation. The temperature is low in spring and autumn, the feeding time is best at 8-9 o'clock in the morning, during the midsummer turtle activities in the morning and evening, the feeding time should be 4-5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the daily feeding amount accounts for about 4-5% of the body weight. During the peak feeding period, turtles can gain about 50-70 grams of weight per month.

The water in which the turtle lives should be fresh, and the water should be about 30 centimeters transparent. Turtles are ectotherms, and changes in water temperature will directly affect the temperature of turtles, so the depth of the pond water should increase or decrease with the seasons. In spring, the temperature is low, and the water should be shallow, generally about meters; In summer, the temperature is high, and the water should be deep, and in autumn, the water temperature gradually decreases, and the water should be shallow; The water level should be stable in winter, because the body temperature of the turtle changes with the rise and fall of air temperature and water temperature, if the temperature drops sharply, the water level is high and low, the turtle can only use its own accumulated nutrients to regulate the body temperature, and when the nutrients in the body are exhausted, it will die.

Let GG get more sun (avoid exposure in summer) and keep the water clean. The water level in the tank is kept at the point where GG stretches his neck and nostrils can expose the water surface, and a stone is placed in the water to let GG dry his back. The food of turtles is relatively extensive, mainly animal food, plant food, compound food three categories:

1. Animal food. There are mainly fish, shrimp, earthworms, mealworms, snails, mussels, etc.

2. Plant foods. Mainly bananas, corn, soybeans, wheat, greens, etc.

3. Compound foods. It is mainly made by combining animal foods with plant foods and processing them. If it is well prepared, this food is more nutritious and balanced, which is more beneficial to the growth and development of turtles.

It's good to feed once a day, and the amount is specifically mastered to be able to eat within 20 minutes, and if you can't eat more, it will affect the cleanliness of the water quality.

It's easy to raise a turtle, and here's my personal summary.

1.Living environment: Remember never to use glass, because turtles have poor eyesight and can't see laminated glass, and they will hurt themselves if they collide with it. Don't have too much water, it's fine if you don't go through your feet, and spread small pebbles (tiny), turtles sometimes eat pebbles to help digestion.

2.Feeding: Don't cheat for feed, that's all made by businessmen. Cooked corn is fed to fish when conditions are good. Twice a day.

And a little bit of personal experience to share with you! The water should be changed frequently, or the turtle will get sick. Turtles get 30 minutes of sunlight every day.

There is one thing that you have to pay attention to. If you want to ask questions about turtles in the future, it's best to go to the turtle bar, in knowing, the answer seems to be complete, but the piece about raising turtles is not practical, and there are many mistakes. You'll learn a lot in the turtle bar, and so am I.

Thank you for adopting.

It is recommended to feed some shrimp often to supplement calcium, they love to eat, put food in the water, if the turtle is healthy, there is no disease, it will go to find food by itself, and grow faster.

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, you will have indigestion and will 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 eaten by the turtle is determined by the size of each turtle's head, as long as the water quality is kept clean (the water quality is best with water that has been exposed to direct sunlight for more than 1 day, it can prevent the turtle's white eye disease and water mildew, nail rot, rotting skin disease, etc.) and the constant water temperature (keeping the water temperature good can prevent turtles from getting colds and pneumonia and other diseases) These two points are good to grasp the general formula of turtles that are not easy to get sick.

1. Feeding is mostly a point 2, heating and feeding in winter 3, feeding hormone turtles or slowly growing up is good-looking! It is generally not recommended to 2 or 3 two points!

The turtle eats the beard and grows amazingly fast!!

The Brazilian tortoise is an exotic turtle, but it is very popular in China, of course, because it is easier to keep. However, this does not mean that you can raise them indiscriminately, and you still have to pay attention to the method of raising Brazilian turtles. Let's take a look with Pochi.com and how to raise Brazilian turtles.

Brazilian tortoiseClause.

First, the growth environmenta. The container should allow the turtle to swim in it, and it is best not to choose a round container, sometimes even if it is a large plastic sorting box, it is stronger than a round tank, but it must be non-toxic;

b. The water level should be determined according to the size of the turtle, generally not more than 5 times the size of its back carapace, and then think that a floating platform should be placed in it, which is necessary, so that the turtle can climb up from time to time to rest, bask on the back and so on.

Clause.

2. Sunshine

Many people think that plants can be left in the sun all the time, and it doesn't matter what the animals are, which is wrong; Brazilian tortoises are in need of sunlight, so it is recommended to place them in a south-facing place so that the tortoise can grow healthily.

Clause.

3. Pay attention to algae

Brazilian turtles are raised in the water, and algae will grow in the natural water for a long time, so you need to go to a special aquarium store to buy algae removal agents, which are generally not expensive.

Clause.

Fourth, pave stones

Raising Brazilian tortoises can be laid with some small stones or large pebbles in its tank, which is not only ornamental, but also conducive to its growth, in addition, do not put grass in the water, this is not raising grass carp, there is no need for that.

Clause.

5. Water quality requirements

You must not use the tap water that you have just connected to raise, you must dry the tap water for 2 days to remove the chlorine in the water, and change the water every 2-3 days, but you only need to change part of the water each time, do not replace it all; There are also skills in changing the water, not just pour it out, otherwise the turtle is easy to get sick, and there are two commonly used methods:

a. Use the siphon principle, suck out the dirty water at the bottom, and then add the same amount of salary on it.

b. Go to the flower and bird market to buy a filter, the use method is not difficult, you can ask the store owner and read the instructions if you are not clear.

Clause.

6. FoodClause.

7. Growth temperature

a. The most suitable growth temperature for Brazilian turtles is 25-28 degrees, at this temperature, the turtle can move and eat normally, and it is not possible to use hot or cold water to feed and wash the baby turtles, which can easily cause diseases;

b. Don't put it in an air-conditioned room for a while, and put it outdoors for a while, the temperature difference is too large, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth of turtles;

C, hibernation to move the turtle into the indoor dark and quiet place, the general turtle hibernation time from October to May of the following year when the temperature drops below 13, the turtle does not eat or move, only sleep, remember that the temperature can not be lower than 6 degrees during hibernation, otherwise it is easy to die.
