    Turtles like food and precautions for raising turtles: 1. Turtles are amphibians, if they are placed in a pure pool that is not connected to the land, they must be placed in the pool with stones, bricks and other platforms that expose the water surface for the turtle to dry its back and rest, and 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. 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. Turtles want to bask in the sun, and can not be directly exposed in high temperature weather, it is best to use a semi-shaded environment, turtle breeding water temperature environment maximum temperature should not exceed 37 degrees, summer should pay attention to the pool shading, generally can be used large-leaf plants for shading.

    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. 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, the fastest temperature for turtles to grow meat is 28 30 degrees.

    The larger the turtle, the less the number of feeding, the smaller the turtle, the more often the turtle is fed, the young 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. Hibernation in East China generally in November of the year to April of the following year, when 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 so on in the spring may die due to physical exhaustion.
