    Hello friends, it just so happened that I also had two grass turtles, which I had raised in Brazil before. I also learned and practiced the habits and habits of many turtles.

    You should be talking about the crucian carp, this fish is as fast as the koi, and of course the turtle only has to watch. Isolate it, or sooner or later your fish will die in the belly. Turtles and fish are not allowed to be mixed, hehe.

    Aquarium fish have poor resistance and are prone to white spot disease and some common diseases, and will be cross-infected in the water. Hehe, I also have a tank of fish.

    Brazilian red-eared turtles are generally more courageous than grass turtles, and they are more adaptable than grass turtles, while grass turtles are afraid of people and need to be slowly familiar with them before they can receive food from people. Because of pneumonia or cold, there is loss of appetite, not eating, and often opening the mouth, mucus near the nose, occasionally screaming, and floating on the side in the water. But I'm not sure because I didn't see it, and you didn't say anything about the symptoms other than not eating.

    So you need to observe again.

    The conditions of the place where you keep your turtles are very good, and they can get the sun for a long time. No need to toss anymore. I don't know if you have a turtle island in the pool, but it is a place where you can provide turtles to climb ashore to dry their backs, and turtles will be easy to get sick if they soak in deep water for a long time.

    If not, you can get one yourself, put a high point, a flat pebble on it, the turtle has the habit of sunning the back, often sunning the back is not easy to get rot, promote the absorption of calcium, and it is also very helpful for healthy growth.

    It is recommended that you first put the Brazilian red-eared turtle in a basin, tank, or a container filled with water, temporarily isolate and raise it for a period of time, recover, if you don't eat, it will definitely not grow, now the temperature in many places is about 20 degrees, the turtle hibernates without eating or drinking, hibernation relies on the fat stored in the body before the winter, I think the long hibernation is not nutritious, and it is extremely necessary to eat to supplement physical strength, as long as your Brazilian turtle does not eat. Every movement will consume physical strength, and if you keep up with nutrition, you will die, you have to pay attention.

    The moss on the back carapace of the turtle soaked in water for a long time needs to be cleaned regularly with a small toothbrush.

    Grass turtles and Brazil belong to water turtles, mainly meat, and eating needs to be carried out in the water, generally will not eat on land, feed some lean meat, fish, shrimp, liver and other foods are very good, it is recommended not to feed turtle food, all flour, no nutrition, and do not feed cooked meat, salty food, will be indigestion of the turtle, serious will cause enteritis.

    Turtles have a lot of excrement, especially in Brazil, which is prone to dirty water and likes to stay in clear water, and fish have high requirements for water quality. So there is no benefit to polyculture together.

    Well, it's all manually typed word by word, I hope it can help you, if you still have questions, you can continue to ask, definitely timely, I wish your turtle can grow up healthily.

    Carefully fed and slag inspection. The best time for turtles to put into the pond is April, the feed is mainly animal bait, such as fish and shrimp, snails, earthworms, fly maggots, silkworm pupa, aquatic insects, livestock offal, etc., supplemented by bran, corn flour, bean dregs and a small amount of melons, twice a day in the morning and evening to the food table, the number of turtles is 5 -8 of the total weight of the turtle, the adult turtle is 8 -12 of the body weight, the juvenile turtle should be fed with bloodworms, small shrimp and boiled and mashed eggs.

    Pay attention to water quality regulation. Change the new water every 3-5 days, and change the water for a quarter each time, so as to keep the water quality clear, dissolved oxygen sufficient, and the fertility is appropriate.

    Disease prevention. Disinfect once a month with quicklime, 90 disinfectant and other drugs to prevent the occurrence and spread of diseases; Once the disease occurs, the sick turtle should be fed separately and fed with sulfonamide mixed eggplant bait; Adult turtles can also be noted.

    antibiotics; Set up a sundeck so that the turtle often "basks its back", so that germs, parasites, and filth dry and fall off.

    Shorten the hibernation time. Turtles are ectotherms, particularly sensitive to environmental changes, when the water temperature drops to 20, the feeding capacity is reduced, when the water temperature is lower than 15, stop feeding, when the water temperature is lower than 12, that is, around November, the turtle will sink to the bottom, dormant in the sediment, enter the "hibernation", to April of the following year, the water temperature rises to 15, rejuvenated. It is necessary to shorten the "hibernation period" according to the specific conditions of various localities.

    I wish the turtle raised by the landlord good health!Sissy.

    Food: Turtles like to eat rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails, and pork, among which the favorite foods are small fish, fine pork, and corn. In captivity, in order to meet the various nutrients needed for the growth of turtles and avoid stunted growth and anorexia due to single feed, a variety of feeds should be used, such as fish and shrimp, snails, mussels, etc. in animal feed and rice, wheat, corn, etc. in plant feed.

    In order for the turtle to fully digest the feed, the corn and peas must be crushed and soaked for about 2 hours before feeding, and other large pieces of food must also be chopped before feeding. It should also be noted that at different stages of the turtle's growth, feed with different nutrients should be given according to its growth characteristics.

    The life of the turtle is closely related to the climate, and it begins to feed in early April every year; From June to August, the feeding activity reached the highest peak, and the weight gain rate was the fastest. In October, when the temperature gradually drops, the amount of food begins to decrease, and when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, it stops feeding and enters the hibernation period.

    The feed should be kept fresh, and after feeding, the leftover food should be removed in time to prevent the feed from rotting and smelling, affecting the turtle's appetite and polluting the water quality.

    My family built a pool for the tortoises, and my grandfather brought food to the tortoises.

    Hello friends, this is the Brazilian turtle, also called the red-eared turtle. Coincidentally, I also have two Brazilian tortoises, but they are the size of coins. This kind of terradia belongs to the terrapinus, strictly speaking, it is a terrestrial animal

    Turtles need to dry their backs, and turtles have the habit of drying their backs often, which is very helpful for its healthy growth and non-rotting nail disease.

    You want to put it in a place where the sun can reach it for a long time during the day. If there are conditions. Get a turtle island in the water for it, don't be the floating kind, ** there are sales, not expensive, more than 10 yuan, you can also create it yourself. Let it climb up and dry its back.

    If you don't have Turtle Island, the water and the back carapace are parallel. If there is Turtle Island, the water can be a little deeper.

    The Brazilian turtle has a lot of excrement and is easy to dirty water, and it likes to stay in clear water, so it should change the water frequently to give it a good living environment!

    The turtle breathes with its lungs, so it will still float up and stick out its head to breathe after staying underwater for a long time. Eating is also generally done in water.

    Usually feed some lean meat. Foods like fish, liver, etc. Occasionally add a meal to it and get some live food, such as small fry, small earthworms, tadpoles, etc.

    Turtles hibernate without eating or drinking, relying on previously stored fats and proteins to survive the winter. It is not recommended to use turtle food. It's all flour and it's not nutritious, and if the turtle eats the meat, it won't eat it again.

    It's okay, you can go to the vegetable market to sell fish and ask for fish offal, come back and clean it and cut it into small pieces and feed it.

    Do not feed cooked meat. Cured and fatty meats are not easily digested. If it's severe, it can get enteritis.

    My tortoise, under my careful care, is almost over its successful hibernation. But it's still cold. It's been raining lately, so I hope the weather will get warmer soon, so my baby turtle can eat.

    Well, it's all typed word by word, if you still have questions, you can continue to ask, I will definitely be timely, hope, thank you, I wish your turtle can grow up healthily.

Turtles are ectotherms.

Life is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. From November to March, when the temperature is below 10, the turtle lies in the silt at the bottom of the pond or lies in the loose soil covered with straw, does not eat or move, and hibernates, at which time its metabolism is very slow and weak. >>>More
