How to feed the baby turtle How to feed the baby turtle

The newly invited turtle does not eat has always been the most headache for turtle friends, everyone after a long period of anticipation, finally will be the beloved turtle home, if you go home to eat fiercely, that must be the happiest thing, but if the turtle turtle does not eat, what to do?

First of all, even if the turtle is in very good condition, it is best not to feed it immediately after returning home, maybe it has eaten a lot, but whether its digestive function is normal, whether it is suitable for the new environment and water quality, we do not know, it is likely to cause other problems in the next few days, so suppress the excitement and let the turtle adapt to the environment first.

The length of time for turtles and turtles to adapt to their new homes is not the same, healthy turtles, generally small turtles have a short time, and large turtles have a slightly longer time, but the most important thing is that we don't take out the turtle and turtle and put it back and forth in this process, which will prolong the time for it to adapt to the process.

After one to two days of adapting to the environment, the turtle has an understanding of the new home, at this time, it will look for food everywhere, we can feed the turtle food, at this time, it is best to feed the turtle's favorite food, if the turtle is often fed in the hands of the merchant, then we had better feed live bait, because the live food is more likely to arouse the interest of the turtle, and the healthy turtle will quickly chase, catch the food, and eat it. If we can't catch it for half a day, we'd better kill the live bait and let the turtle eat it (the turtle that has just arrived at home will be a little weak, replenishing physical strength is the key, and the training will be talked about later, hehe). The smaller the amount of feeding, the better, and can be divided into multiple feedings.

After a week, it was possible to feed normally.

If it is a turtle that is not interested in live bait and has no appetite, my practice is to strangle the fish and shrimp, (squeeze out the fish fat, let the fish sink to the bottom) and put it in the water, it is best to let the dead fish sink right in front of the turtle, and use a small wooden stick to move the tail of the dead fish, so that the turtle can find it more easily, because the internal organs of the dead fish smell great, the turtle will have more appetite, at this time, the turtle will sniff the dead fish first, and then eat it.

If this doesn't work, and has been home for more than a week, in the case of outside temperature, the environment is not a problem, the turtle still does not eat, you have to observe to see if you buy a sick turtle, this is the last thing we want to happen, if so, you can add some glucose water in the turtle tank, supplement nutrition, and then find a way to treat the turtle and turtle, for the purchase of sick turtles, we can not let them fend for themselves, and "release". Don't be discouraged, ignore it, positive ** and conditioning is the right choice for turtle lovers, perhaps, you will find that the disease of the turtle will be cured, and it will be closer to you in the future!

What the turtle eats depends on what kind of turtle you are!

I had a Brazilian tortoise, and it ate raw meat, such as pork, live shrimp, earthworms, and small fish. Wait. You put the food in the water and it eats it all by itself, remember to change the water after a while!

Change to something else, shrimp.

Preparation for turtle feeding: 1. Prepare feeding containers.

Smaller tortoises can easily be raised directly in a flat-bottomed container, whether it's fiberglass, a glass box, or something else flat-bottomed. In addition, we need to fill the container with some water, and the amount of water should not exceed the height of the turtle. At the same time, we can also put some bricks, stones, etc. in the container so that the turtle can bask in the sun on it!

2. Temperature. The temperature that the turtle can withstand is generally around 25 degrees Celsius, and when the weather becomes colder, we also need to warm the air above the container. In addition to the treatment of water temperature, we also need to give it the opportunity to receive sunlight, generally speaking, just take the whole container outside to bask in the sun!

3. Selection of feed.

In addition to temperature, containers, we also need to choose what we need to feed the turtle, when feeding the turtle, it is best to feed the full price of the compound feed, if you really don't understand this, we can also go directly to the pet store to ask them to configure a new feed for us. In addition to professional feed, we can also feed it pork, offal of other animals, etc.

4. Disease prevention and control.

In the greenhouse, we are mainly used to cultivate young turtles, in the process of cultivation, we need to pay attention to the turtle's disease prevention, when it is in the growth period, there will often be a state of disease, mainly we need to disinfect it, disease prevention!

5. East of the tortoise.

When the tortoise hibernates, if it is some wild tortoises in the wild, they will generally choose to hide under large rocks, and if we cultivate it at home, we can choose to bury it in some damp sand, or directly take gauze and cover the tortoise, or place it in a wooden box with some damp straw on top!

The layout of the environment in which the turtles are raised, and how to feed them correctly and healthily.

1. Frequency of feeding.

Generally speaking, it is recommended to eat twice a day when the Brazilian turtle is less than 3 cm, and when it reaches 3 5 cm, it can become 1 time a day, and when the Brazilian turtle grows to more than 5 cm, it can basically be fed once a day or two.

2. What to feed?

Generally feed fish shrimp, insects, fish food and so on. It is not recommended to feed cooked food. If you want turtle food, you can just throw it into the water.

Fish and shrimp are easy to pollute the water quality, you can choose the feeding method according to the situation and conditions, my turtle pond is large, and I made a filter pond, that is, the feeding pool, directly into the feeding pool, and the turtle crawled to grab food. Replace the water after eating. If there is no condition, then, after feeding the meat, the water should be changed in time, otherwise the water quality is easy to rot and pollute.

This in turn leads to white eye disease in turtles.

The small bird turtle is still small and feeds 1 meal a day, only one to two small pieces of fish or meat, and the amount of food slowly increases as it grows up, so it can't be fed too full, because it loves food too much.

Oh, this little turtle feeds, but it's too hard, do you think he can eat it? I bought a little turtle several times and came back without eating, and finally starved to death, and the fire died of starvation, starvation.

Clean hot water to use.

02Wash the fish tank and set aside.

03 Hold two-thirds of the cold water in a clean fish tank, then add a quarter of the hot water, then stir well, feel the water temperature with your hands, the overall temperature is cool, about 20-25 degrees. After that, put in a few grains of turtle food, soak it for a while, then put in the turtle, and after a while, the turtle will find it to eat by itself.

When feeding a baby turtle, put the food in the water and it will run to eat it on its own. The baby turtle can be given bread worms, turtle food, small fish and shrimp and other food, and it cannot secrete saliva and needs to be swallowed in water. Before and after the baby turtle feeds, it can warm the environment, increase its appetite, and also promote digestion.

When feeding the baby turtle, put the food directly in the water, it will run to eat by itself, the owner only needs to clean up the food residue after it eats, if the water quality deteriorates, it is best to replace the water before feeding it.

The baby turtle can be given bread worms, turtle food, small fish and shrimp and other food, and because it does not secrete saliva, it needs to swallow with the help of water, otherwise it is difficult to swallow the food.

Before and after the baby turtle feeds, you can turn on the sunning lamp, which can warm the environment, thereby increasing its appetite, and can also play a role in promoting digestion and avoiding indigestion.

Prepare foods suitable for baby turtles, such as vegetables, fruits, bugs, small earthworms, etc.

2.Cut the food into small pieces, put it in the turtle's active water basin, and feed it 1-2 times a day, not too much at a time.

3.Clean the basin regularly and replace it with fresh water each time to ensure that the water quality is clean.

4.Replenish the tortoise with minerals, add a little mineral to the tortoise once a week, either by adding a little mineral powder, or by putting some mineral blocks in the tortoise's active water basin.

5.Check the physical condition of the turtle regularly, and if you find any abnormalities in the turtle, seek medical attention to a specialized animal hospital in time.

1. Put the food in the water when feeding the turtle, the turtle will eat it by itself, pay attention to the food residues, and control the water quality and water temperature of Senqiaocha. The turtle that I just bought is very shy, so when feeding and disappearing, pay attention to staying away, don't stare at it to see if he is eating or finishing, and after it is slowly familiarized, every time the owner goes to feed it, it will look up at the owner, and the expression of begging to feed is really super cute. Moreover, we should pay attention to the change of temperature when feeding, and the number of feeding and the amount of food will change with the change of temperature.

2. When the turtle just wakes up after a long period of hibernation, it is fed once every three days on average, generally between 10:30 and 14:30, just like people who just wake up must not be able to eat anything, and the same is true for turtles.

In autumn, the temperature difference is quite large, and the best time to feed should be 10:00-11:00 and once a day on average.

3. The standard of food consumption is generally to be eaten within an hour after feeding, and the uneaten food should be fished out in time, so as to prevent the turtle from eating spoiled food and causing it to get sick. Of course, it is also important to note that the turtle must be well fed before it goes into hibernation to ensure that it can store enough energy to survive the winter.

4. Although turtles are not picky eaters, they should also pay attention to nutrition when feeding turtles.

How do you get food to the tortoise's belly? This can be said to be a university question.

1. Feed fresh fish and shrimp food every day, cut the small fry into several sections, and cut them into a suitable size that they can eat. Pick it up with small tweezers or stick a toothpick in the water and feed it slowly and patiently through its nose and in front of it, or put it in the water and put it in front of it and let it feed on its own. For some turtles and baby turtles, it will not eat the whole fish if you put it directly into the water, you need to cut it into several pieces and cut it into a suitable size that it can eat in one bite.

The same goes for shrimp, peel the head and tail, cut it into small pieces and stick it up or put it in water to feed it. Do not feed tortoises lean pork and other domestic animal meat, which has a lot of parasites and is prone to illness. There are also many shellfish parasites such as snails, and food parasites are very harmful to turtles.

Fresh fish and shrimp should be the main food. Foods like cooked meats, cooked meats and ham sausages should never be eaten indiscriminately.

2. In summer, the temperature is high, the turtle metabolism is fast, you can feed it once a day, but it is generally recommended to feed it every other day, because the turtle does not need to be fed too often, they are animals with a very slow metabolism. Of course, if you are very busy, it is no problem to feed them once a few days, they are very hungry animals, and even if you travel out, as long as you ensure sufficient water**, they don't eat for half a month, it's no problem, it's a little wronged your baby turtle. When autumn comes in October, the turtle does not eat much, and only eats once every few days until the turtle begins to hibernate in winter and stops eating.

The amount of food fed to the turtles at a time is generally the size of their head and neck.
