How to raise turtles.

Most tortoises are tame and can tolerate any food, and judging by the food, they are very easy pets to keep. But a tortoise is the same as a lizard, both need to sunbathe. In addition, the tortoise is nearly round in size, and its weight is much higher than that of the turtle, and it is also very active.

Ordinary cages tend to be too small, which can be more troublesome compared to other reptiles.

1 Food Although it is said that turtles eat any food, they must be especially careful because they are always fed cheap foods with low nutritional value, which may cause nutritional disorders. Turtles need a lot of calcium and should be fed food that contains a lot of calcium. Recently, a well-balanced turtle feed has recently been introduced on the market, so you can eat it with confidence.

In addition, carp feed and dog food are also suitable foods. Occasionally feed some fresh food such as boneless fish, snake meat, rats, etc., which will surely win the love of turtles. Feeding only fish and sliced meat will cause malnutrition, and water-soluble nutrients need to be added.

The food introduced above is provided to turtles that often inhabit water, such as tortoises, which do not go into the water and prefer plant food, so they are not suitable for artificial feeding. Generally, vegetables such as leafy vegetables, cabbage, and carrots can be fed with nutrients. You can use the feed of the Nine Senses Bird to feed.

2 Cage Aquatic turtles can be kept in containers that can hold water, such as a sink. The actual size of the turtle is larger than it seems and the amount of movement is also high, so a larger cage is required. On average, a sink with a side length of 60 cm is still too small, and it is better to keep it in a storage box for clothes.

3 Other turtles are not exposed to ultraviolet rays and are also unable to use calcium. Compared to lizards, the facilities to prevent turtles from escaping are simpler, and as long as they are well supplied with water and have a shady place to rest, heat stroke is less likely to occur, and sunbathing is relatively simple. If the calcium intake of young turtles is insufficient, the shell of the turtle is prone to become soft; If you don't get enough vitamin A, your eyes may turn white.

When the above phenomenon occurs, in addition to the problem of insufficient vitamin A and calcium, it may also involve long-term feeding of low-nutrient food, insufficient ultraviolet rays, etc., which may be a mistake in the feeding method. It is necessary to provide nutritionally balanced food and use solar lamps to completely change the breeding environment.

Common diseases Carapace diseases of aquatic tortoises.

In captivity, aquatic turtles may ulcerate on their carapaces. Although they are all carapace lesions, the types of pathogenic bacteria vary depending on the symptoms. Gram-negative bacteria.

Gram-positive bacteria. Symptoms include carapace peeling, pigmentation, ulcers, paralysis of the four techniques, loss of claws, necrosis of internal organs, etc. Crayfish, snakes, sea maggots and other animals used as feed, as well as soil, polluted water, etc., can be infected**.

Bacteria enter the body through abrasions. ** Use a medicated bath and apply appropriate antibiotics throughout the body. However, all kinds of turtles are allergic to certain antibiotics, so special attention needs to be paid when using them.

Turtle feeding methods and precautions.

When the crocodile is one year old and reaches 90-100cm in length, it is fed to the crocodile at 5-6 p.m. every day. Do not feed crocodiles rancid food, and must clean up leftover food. Don't feed the crocodile at noon, as leftover food can easily spoil from the sun.

Some crocodiles are more timid and tend to feed slowly on the shore, and these individual crocodiles are slow to grow and need to deliver food directly to their homes.

Crocodile food. The quality of the crocodile's food should be able to promote the rapid growth of the crocodile. Fresh small fish, frogs, dried shrimp and fresh raw yellow beef liver are usually used for feed, and when the crocodile is 6-7 months old, it should be fed with fresh chicken head and neck. If marine fish are used as temporary feed, pay attention to cleaning up the puffer fish to avoid crocodile poisoning.

Crocodiles take up to 72 hours to digest, so crocodiles only eat about 120 meals a year.

A crocodile can eat 5-10% of its body weight at a meal until 12 months of age, and after 12 months of age, it can eat 25-30% of its body weight at a meal.

Some local food can be used as a supplement to the crocodile, and the crocodile can be fed some other food, including the internal organs of pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, freshwater fish, marine fish, and mice.

The food for the crocodile must be fresh, cut into small pieces, and kept clean. Some food plates need to be arranged so that they can be easily put away and operated. The feed trough of the crocodile should be no more than 10cm in length and should be smooth, slightly inclined and leading to the drainage ditch with cement.

In order to ensure that crocodiles receive fresh food on a regular basis, a specific feeding schedule must be established. The best time to feed the baby crocodile is in the evening, which is stable and suitable for the baby crocodile to come out to eat.

Turtles are wild animals, and their diets are very wide, such as small fish, shrimp, and crustaceans.

Raised in the pool, male and female raised separately.
