    The roots of the limbs of the little turtle are white, and the skin is very loose and soft, like a bag of water.

    Hello dear, the roots of the limbs of the little turtle are white, and the skin is very loose and soft, like a water bag, which is a water mold. **Method: 1. Dry raising:

    When a turtle gets water mildew, it first has to be dried and raised. Do not soak it in water all the time to avoid aggravation. The main thing is that dry breeding is not completely dehydrated, most stupid water turtles can not stay out of the water for too long, and they should soak it several times a day, about half an hour each time, so that they can replenish water.

    2. Medicine: Water mildew disease is difficult to heal on its own, and it still needs to be medicated. First of all, it should be applied all over the body with poviodarone, which can be sterilized and disinfected.

    Then for the affected area, it is necessary to use drugs such as malachite green or Baiduobang, so that it can be slowly affected by it. Hope it helps you <>

    I guess it's a cold.

    How to raise turtles.

    1. Feeding containers.

    Storage boxes, logistics boxes, fish tanks, etc. can all be used to raise turtles. Before feeding, it should be disinfected with light salt water, potassium permanganate dilution, etc., and rinsed with water repeatedly after disinfection. The height of the container should not be too shallow, and the inner wall should not be too rough, because the turtle has a strong climbing ability, and a container that is too shallow and too rough can easily allow it to escape.

    The feeding density should not be too large, too large density can easily cause turtles to fight and grab food, bringing the risk of tail breaking.

    2. Water for feeding.

    Turtles can be kept with tap water that has been dried in the sun for more than two days, well water, etc. After drying, it can remove harmful substances such as chlorine in the water, and at the same time can promote the reproduction of algae and probiotics in the water. Turtles are more stressful, and it takes a long time to adapt to the water quality after arriving in a new environment, and the direct use of tap water will cause turtles to get sick, so do not be greedy for convenience and directly use tap water to raise turtles.

    The water level of the turtle should be 1 times the length of the tortoise's back carapace, so that the tortoise can stick its head out of the water at any time to breathe. Every time you change the water, you can change about half of the old water, pay attention to the temperature of the new water added should be consistent with the old water, and the water change time should be carried out every day when the temperature is high, so as not to cause the turtle to catch a cold. Filters can also be used to purify water quality, enhance water circulation, and reduce the frequency of water changes.

    3. Feeding temperature.

    The optimal growing temperature for turtles is between 25 and 30 degrees, with too high temperatures causing heat stroke and too low temperatures causing turtles to stop feeding. In summer, turtles should be raised to prevent heatstroke and cool down to avoid turtles from heat stroke and die.

    Fourth, light. When raising turtles, it is necessary to set up a gentle slope and exposed sundeck in the water, so that the turtles can climb out of the water at any time to rest and bask their backs. Receiving proper light every day is of great significance to turtles, which can not only promote the synthesis of vitamin D3 in their bodies to speed up calcium absorption, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of various diseases.

    Also, when sunbathing turtles in the summer, avoid the midday hours to avoid excessive temperatures.

    5. Food. Turtles can be raised using a variety of water turtle larvae food, or they can be fed fish and shrimp meat. When feeding fish and shrimp, cut the food into appropriate shapes, too large food is not conducive to the turtle to eat, and pay attention to clean up the hard residue in the food to avoid scratching the turtle's gastrointestinal esophagus.

    It can be fed once a day, and the amount of each feeding is preferably so that the turtle can eat it within 5 minutes. Do not overfeed food, first, overfeeding can easily cause indigestion and rapid growth of turtles, resulting in gastrointestinal diseases, growth deformities, etc.; Second, overfeeding is easy to produce too much food residue, resulting in poor water quality.
