    The state is not very good, adjust it:

    1. The turtle is an amphibian, if it is placed in a pure pool that is not connected to the land, the pool must be placed with stones, bricks and other platforms exposed to the water surface for the turtle to dry its back and rest, the turtle likes to hide in the hole, so you can use bricks to build a turtle nest to improve the turtle's sense of security.

    2. Most of the turtle's eating behavior is carried out in the water, and sometimes it is also eaten on the shore, and the food can be directly thrown into the water, or the food can be placed in the shallow water or near the slope of the water and land. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head.

    3. Turtles like to eat meat and fishy food, small turtles are mainly meat, and they can eat some vegetarian ones when they are older, and they can generally be fed small fish, small shrimp, earthworms, loaches, animal offal, snails, crickets, a small amount of red meat, bananas, melon skins, etc.

    4. Turtles should bask in the sun, and can not be directly exposed in high temperature weather, it is best to use a semi-shaded environment, the maximum temperature of the turtle breeding water environment should not exceed 37 degrees, and it is necessary to pay attention to the pool shading in summer, and generally use large-leaved plants for shading.

    5. Do not feed when the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion. Turtles are most adapted to temperatures of 25-30 degrees, when they grow the fastest.

    6. The higher the temperature, the greater the amount of food, but when the temperature is too high, the amount of food decreases, the lower the temperature, the smaller the amount of food, and the fastest temperature of turtle meat is 28 30 degrees.

    7. The bigger the turtle, the less the number of feeding, the smaller the turtle, the more often the turtle is fed, the seedling turtle is generally fed 3 times a day, the baby turtle is generally fed 1 time a day, and the adult turtle is generally fed once in 2 3 days. Female turtles should be fed more during the egg-laying season, and more nutritious foods should be fed on the eve of hibernation.

    8, hibernation in East China generally in November of the year to April of the next year, the temperature is lower than 12 degrees will enter the state of hibernation, put the turtle in the shallow water with a high back, placed in a dark and quiet environment, the temperature during hibernation should be kept between 3 12 degrees, the best hibernation temperature is 8 10 degrees, it is forbidden to bask in the sun during hibernation, otherwise the turtle will wake up often, which will greatly consume the physical strength of the turtle, and the spring may die due to physical exhaustion. Hibernation: For turtles living in colder regions, the ideal hibernation temperature should be between 7-10C, which can vary slightly from higher to lower.

    If the temperature is too low for a long time, the turtle will die, and if the temperature is too high, they may not go into hibernation at all. When the temperature drops below 15C, the turtle will go into hibernation, and if you are not ready to let it hibernate, you should keep the temperature at 22C-30C. If the temperature is lower than 15C, and you don't want the turtle to hibernate, then you should gradually raise the temperature, do not rise too fast, and can not feed in the transition period when the temperature is not high or low, only in the 20C-30C environment to let the turtle eat.

    There could be a number of reasons why a baby turtle has a dry and broken back. Dry weather or insufficient ambient humidity may cause baby turtles to have dry backs. If the baby turtle does not soak in water often or does not drink enough water, it may also cause dryness and peeling.

    The diet and living environment of the baby turtle can also affect its health.

    To solve this problem, we should take some measures. It can provide the baby turtle with plenty of drinking water and soaking time to maintain proper humidity. A baby turtle can be given some proper nutrients to improve its health.

    For example, add some foods rich in vitamins A, D, and E, such as carrot and lime, cod liver oil, etc. Keep the living environment of baby turtles clean and at a suitable temperature.

    If the above methods are not effective in relieving the problem of dry backs of baby turtles, it is necessary to consider whether there are other health problems. In such cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and consult a professional veterinarian. We should also be careful not to use any drugs or products on baby turtles to avoid causing more harm.

    It is our responsibility to keep the baby turtle healthy, and it is very important that it has a comfortable living environment and eating habits. With proper care and diet, we can alleviate the problem of dry and shedding of the baby turtle's round skin and let it have a healthy and happy life.

    You wipe the shell on the back of it with a clean, damp cloth and look carefully after wiping it clean. If it is not broken, it is not a big problem, see if there is a scar on the shell, some turtles may have uneven scars on the shell due to calcium deficiency, trauma or other reasons, and it looks like a dry feeling. If there is a small burst, it proves that the turtle is deficient in calcium, and when it eats in summer, give it more fresh and clever stool shrimp to eat, and it is useful to eat Tanchang with the shell.

    Now the tortoise has not fully woken up from hibernation, and it is normal not to move. In addition, the turtle hibernates and starves for a winter, and it will not be very energetic at this time.

    My turtle keeps moving, but it doesn't eat and looks good, what's wrong?

    Rectal obstruction[**] After feeding, especially in spring and autumn, when the ambient temperature changes greatly between day and night, the function of the turtle's digestive organs will be weakened. At the same time, the decrease in temperature makes the cloaca pores of the turtle tighten, and the bait eaten into the body cannot be digested and excreted normally, so that the feces cannot be discharged normally, and the accumulation becomes harder and harder, which eventually leads to the rupture of the intestinal tube and the death of the turtle. [Symptoms] Sick turtles often shrink their heads, do not eat, and have no feces to discharge.

    **] Turtles with this disease should be moved immediately to a place with a higher temperature (usually around 27°C). Squeeze into the cloaca hole with the cork, and block the cloaca hole with a cotton ball to prevent the liquid from flowing out, 10 minutes later, take out the cotton ball, depending on whether there is feces discharged, if not, you can continue to use the drug, but the turtle with severe disease is generally ineffective. For tortoises, constipation is most often triggered by a blocked intestine.

    Foreign objects (e.g. sand, rocks,......Bladder stones, as well as parasites, are common causes. In particular, bladder stones are the main cause of constipation. Temporarily stop eating until the stool is cleared

    Now raising small animals is popular, friends who raise small turtles have also formed a slightly larger group, some turtle lovers even have more than one or two turtles at home, but have several, so do you find that turtles and turtles have a small hobby, that is, like to stack Arhats, especially on sunny days with good sun, these small things are stacked one by one, stacked happily, some people have raised questions about this, let me explain the reason for you.

    The first obvious reason is to better bask in the sun, because turtles are cold-blooded animals, and the heat required for physical activity is almost entirely dependent on the sun, and yang is simply the source of life for them. Crawl out of the water, lazily lying on the back of your companion's turtle, your feet are not wet, dry and refreshing, so that the sun can shine 360 degrees in all directions. At the same time, the shell of the turtle is soaked in water almost all day long, which is prone to bacteria, etc., and it also needs to be disinfected by ultraviolet rays frequently, just like we need to dry quilts frequently.

    In addition, when the turtles and turtles are together, it is conducive to everyone to maintain a constant temperature state, heat transfer, heating is more balanced, the heat above is hot, you can jump down, change to the bottom, not a single turtle, not long in the sun to scorch.

    In addition, the love of climbing belongs to the racial attribute inherent in the turtle's genes, their four-legged claws.

    It is very easy to attach to stones or dead wood, and when they have not been routinely raised by humans, they have become accustomed to inhabiting and even reproducing in the water, on stones and islands in the water, so climbing is their innate survival ability, written into their DNA. The third point is the need for teamwork and frolicking between populations, the turtle itself is short, and can not pay full attention to the external environment at high places, but if you lie down one by one, the natural height will increase several times, who doesn't like to "overlook" the turtles from a super high perspective. The superposition of height helps them to observe the surrounding environment, and once there is danger, the turtle in the high place can be detected in time, and the alarm will be issued immediately, and everyone will run away quickly.

    In addition, it is also quite sensitive to ground vibration, once there is a slight shaking of the ground caused by footsteps, the turtle on the high level is very easy to be shaken down, the big guy sees it, knows that there is danger, and quickly takes measures. Of course, it is not excluded that the possibility of playing and playing, watching them lie on their stomachs one by one, enjoy more there, and then fall down one after another, and then fold them up unhurriedly after a while, how comfortable it feels. The above points explain the phenomenon of turtles stacking arhats from all aspects, and there are really many mysteries in the natural world, waiting for us to continue to explore!

    The one growing on the turtle's back is algae, not sick.

    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.
