    As for nail loss.

    Trophic skeletal disease (calcium deficiency, hypochondriasis).

    **: Turtles in captivity due to long-term feeding of a single feed, feeding cooked food, lack of various trace elements in the food, especially vitamin D3, resulting in a lack of vitamin D in the turtle body, and the ratio of calcium and phosphorus is inverted or lack of calcium, resulting in bone softening of the turtle. Long-term indoor rearing without natural sunlight can also cause the disease.

    Fast-growing juvenile and juvenile turtles are common.

    Symptoms: The movement and feeding of the sick turtle are normal, but when you hold the turtle in your hand, you can feel that the carapace of the sick turtle is soft, and the joints of the limbs are thicker. In severe diseased turtles, the scale armor on the surface of the dorsal shell gradually falls off, the shell is soft, the nails and toenails are falling off, and the carapace is irregular and deformed.

    Prevention and control: In the daily feeding management, the exposure to sunlight should be ensured. Expose the turtle to natural sunlight as much as possible, taking care not to have any barriers, including glass, plastic sheeting, etc.

    UVB fluorescent lamps can also be used for indoor rearing. For terrapins that have the habit of drying their nails, land should be set in the breeding container above the water surface for them to dry their nails. In the daily feeding food, an appropriate amount of calcium powder, shrimp shell powder, shell powder, cod liver oil, vitamin D and multivitamins and some nutritional drugs such as Jinshierkang should be added regularly.

    Hatchlings and hatchlings should be fed some live shrimp in shell on a regular basis. In addition, the feeding bait should pay attention to the combination of animal bait and plant bait, and the shell should be fed with some green vegetable leaves. For more severely diseased turtles, 10% calcium gluconate (1 mL kg) can be injected intramuscularly.

    There is no way to recover from the carapace that has caused the carapace.

    The water quality is too poor, if the water quality of the turtle is poor, the claws of the turtle will fall off if they are dyed by the branches; Fighting, if there are more than one turtle in the turtle pond, there is a possibility that there will be a fight and the claws will be broken; Normal metabolic reaction, if the tortoise's nails are broken and high but there is no abnormal phenomenon, it is a normal metabolic reaction, and the breeder does not need to worry.

    If the keeper does not clean the water for a long time, bacteria can grow, and the turtle's claws may become infected, resulting in shedding. Keepers can change the water in the turtle pond and use iodophor to coat the tortoise rot.

    If the feeding space of the turtle pond is small and the feeding density is large, it is easy for the turtles to fight with each other, and there is a possibility that the claws may be broken when the fight is fierce, and the claws will be broken if they are hit by stones. Keepers need to dry the turtle for a period of time and disinfect the wound.

    Turtles will have metabolic phenomena such as shell change and armor change during the growth process, which is a normal situation and there is no need for breeders to worry. As long as the turtle does not show symptoms such as injury or decay, it will not be a major problem. During this period, the turtle needs to be supplemented with calcium, and the keeper can prepare some shelled shrimp to feed the turtle.

    The main thing is to do a good job of cleaning and hygiene. Change the water frequently and get more sunlight. Soak in potassium permanganate water (lightly) for about half an hour every day. The water must be clean. That's how my little tortoise was healed. You can catch some small snails and feed them to increase calcium.

    Summary. The turtle egg shell is grayish-white, oval-shaped, long and wide. Under natural conditions, after 50 to 80 days of hatching, the juvenile turtle will break out of its shell.

    However, the natural incubation of turtle eggs is susceptible to the influence of external conditions such as temperature and light, as well as the harm of natural enemies such as snakes, rats and ants, which makes the incubation period long, and the hatching rate and survival rate are low.

White eye disease is a common and common disease of the Brazilian tortoise, which is more common in spring and autumn. When a Brazilian turtle suffers from white eye disease, its eyes are covered with a layer of white cave fog, and in severe cases, its eyes cannot be opened.

    If the eye disease is not timely, it can lead to the death of the disease, and the disease must be detected early and timely**.

    Hello dear, if only a few Baxiangbi turtles have swollen eyes and can't open their eyes, they should be fished out in time, isolated and separated, and disinfect the original breeding container to prevent other healthy turtles from being infected. Specifically, the method of the sick turtle is: apply antibiotic eye drops to the eyes of the sick turtle, apply 1 2 times a day to the sick turtle, if the symptoms of the sick turtle are more serious or the symptoms of the sick turtle have not improved after dropping eye drops, it needs to be injected with penicillin drugs**, injected once a day, generally after 2 3 days, the condition of the sick turtle can be improved.

    If the symptoms of the sick turtle still do not improve, it is recommended to send the sick turtle to the pet hospital and hand it over to a professional veterinarian**.

    Hello dear, if most of the turtles in the container have swollen eyes and can't open their eyes, you can ignore the isolation of the fibrous spine, you can directly pour an appropriate amount of antibiotics into the breeding container to soak the turtle body, each time about 30 60 minutes. In addition, after the first sick turtle, it is also necessary to pay attention to the turtle to strictly prevent turtle white eye disease. Most of the white eye disease is caused by the poor water quality of the breeding water, and a large number of germs are bred in the water.

    Keeping the water quality of the turtle breeding water clean can effectively prevent many common diseases of turtles, and I hope that turtle owners will pay attention to this point and change the turtle water regularly.

    If you lose the roots, it won't grow, and if you drop a few, it won't affect eating, and the turtle's nails may be broken because your turtle is too small to bully her at home with the male, so let him bask in the sun more, and it's best to tear it into small pieces for him to eat when eating, so that he doesn't have much effort. Let's give you some daily instructions for turtles. Take good care of turtles and tortoises.

    1.The food is also more convenient and easy to raise. Generally, you go to the flower and bird market to buy a dollar of small fish, in spring and autumn, you take a small pot or small tank to raise when the turtle wants to eat, catch a few for him to eat, but the small turtle may not be caught, you can cut the small fish into pieces and throw them in the tank to feed them, he will eat it himself, or you think it is very troublesome to buy the small fish home, put it in the refrigerator freezer and wait for it to be fed and then get a little out for him to eat.

    Of course, you can also change their appetite, buy a dollar from the shrimp seller in the vegetable market, or ask them for some dead shrimp, cut the shrimp into pieces and feed them to eat. Unless they are sick, they will not eat. Other times they will eat it and do not need to be force-fed, turtles are generally fed twice a day, but the amount of food is smaller.

    2.The environment for rearing, there is a small basin or a water tank at home, and the water for raising turtles and turtles can not completely submerge the body of the turtle, and it should be placed on the edge of its shell. Not too much.

    Water quality, the best water for raising turtles is pure water, if you don't want to use pure water, you can go to the flower and bird market to buy a pack of baking soda for a dollar, you can put it in the water for a long time, five minutes, if you don't want to buy soda, you put the tap water and then put the turtle and turtle into the water overnight. If possible, it is best to leave a dry open space for the turtle to rest.

    3.Sunburning, there are no requirements, you just take them out of the water and let them bask in the sun where there is sun.

    I think your turtle is lacking in some trace elements, such as calcium, which causes it to change into certain diseases, and as a result, nails fall out.

    This may have something to do with the food you feed him.

    Simply look at the nail loss, it is a traumatic injury, and it is not complicated. But to prevent mycosis.

    This disease is mostly caused by mold infection after the turtle epidermis is bruised, which is manifested as reddish-white epidermal necrosis and mildew spots in severe cases.

    Prevention and control methods: In the process of transportation, stocking, and transfer pool capture, the operation should be careful to avoid injury to the turtle body. If a turtle is injured before entering the pool, apply 1% malachite green ointment or sulfonamide ointment to the affected area.

    Once a sick turtle is found, it should be isolated in time and disinfected with 20%-30% lime water; The whole body of the sick turtle is coated with purple potion for 7 days, and a small amount of oxytetracycline powder can also be added to the feed for 3 days.

    In addition, about the thing about nail loss, I think it is mollusc.

    Molluscaosis is a disease caused by malnutrition and lack of sunlight, and is manifested by loss of appetite, general weakness, malaise, sluggishness, and slow growth.

    **Method: Feed with full price feed with good palatability and rich nutrition, and add calcium tablets to the feed; Enhance the number of sunshine hours, and expose the sun to sunlight 2 to 3 times a day.
