    Turtles are easy to raise.

    My roommate raised it, and it's not bad.

    Change the water frequently. Special attention is winter.。。

    In winter, it hibernates, so take care to protect it. (It's easy to think he's dead when he's hibernating) and just give him some turtle rations at other times.

    I wish you all the best of luck in cultivating your feelings soon.

    Looks like there's nothing to pay attention to!

    The life cycle of a turtle is relatively long, so as long as you don't kill it directly, there is generally no big problem!

    There is time to feed a little bit a day, there is no time for a month it will not starve, the water should be cleaned (do not boil the water), put a small rockery or something, and spread a layer of sand under the winter in winter.

    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 is better to be 1 times the length of the tortoise's back carapace, so that the turtle can stick its head out of the water at any time for ventilation. 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 sundeck with a gentle slope and an outcropping surface in the rocky water, so that the turtles can climb out of the water at any time to rest and dry 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's eating, and pay attention to clean up the harder residues 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.
