The breeding environment of turtles, what environment do domestic turtles need, and what should we p

The turtle and turtle bought it to build a new home, which is also very important, because someone raised the turtle in the fish tank and drowned, don't laugh, this is true, first of all, the Mississippi red-eared turtle is a reptile, not a fish, it has to absorb oxygen directly from the air, not the water, so the new home you prepare for it should consider the convenience of its breathing, the kind of deeper fish tank is not suitable, especially when it is filled with water, put the turtle in it has to swim very hard to the surface of the water and stretch out its head for ventilation, After a long time, the physical strength will drown, and this fish tank is relatively long but very narrow, which is not conducive to the movement of turtles and turtles, because its activity radius is not large, so you can use the kind of round fish tank in the shape of a spittoon to raise goldfish, but the mouth of this fish tank is smaller, which is not conducive to observing and teasing turtles and turtles, and the small basin is also very good, I use the glass gas collection tank used in the chemical laboratory, and the upper and lower mouths are the same size, which is very good! A stone is placed in the middle of the fish tank, which is used for turtles and turtles to bask in the sun and rest, because turtles and turtles cannot always soak in water, otherwise it will seriously affect their health, and even the turtle shell will rot! The size of the stone is larger than the turtle and turtle, accounting for about one-sixth of the fish tank area, the height is slightly higher than the two turtles and turtles stacked up, the top should be flat, of course the fish tank should be added with water, the water surface should be slightly lower than the surface of the stone, because the turtle and turtle do not breathe in the water, so the water requirements are far lower than the standard of fish farming, as long as the water is not too turbid and smelly, the fish tank should not be placed in the corner, bathroom and other too dark places, it is best to put it in the sun can shine, a quieter place, my home is placed on the table in the study.

To choose the right species for breeding, we must pay attention to avoiding light, paying attention to the oxygen content of the water, and paying attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the water.

Here's what it says: have a place to bask in the sun and a place to hide. Generally, it is necessary to use a large cylinder as much as possible, and it should be transparent.

The tank should provide a shore where the turtle can climb up and completely break away from the water The turtle needs to bask in the sun on the shore every day, one is for digestion, and the other is to kill the bacteria and algae on the body with ultraviolet rays.

There will be hibernation periods. When the temperature drops below 13, the tortoise begins to hibernate and during the entire wintering period, the head and tail limbs are retracted into the shell, the eyes are closed, and the turtle does not move or excrete until it emerges. If the environment is not right, it is difficult to sting.

A hibernation temperature of 1 10 is suitable for turtles. Higher than 10 is likely to cause the turtle to wake up, thereby consuming physical strength, resulting in a decline in the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of the turtle in the coming year.

Turtles eat rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails, etc., and their favorite foods are small fish, snails, corn, and rice. 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.

Turtles are ectotherms, and their lives are greatly affected by the ambient temperature. From November to March, when the temperature is below 10, the turtle lies quietly in the silt at the bottom of the pond or in the loose soil covered with straw, does not eat or move, and hibernates, at which time its metabolism is very slow and weak. It is not until the beginning of April, when the temperature rises above l5, that the turtle begins to resume its activity and feed in large quantities Therefore, there is no need to feed or change the water during the hibernation period, and the main work during this period is to keep warm, such as covering the area around the pool and the open space between the pool and the fence; The second is to prevent the invasion of natural enemies of turtles.
