How to raise baby turtles at home

1. Young turtles, adult turtles and parent turtles should be raised in separate pools to avoid the phenomenon of large turtles devouring small turtles, and it is also convenient to determine the amount of feed and feeding management, so as to observe and grasp the growth of turtles.

2. Because the turtle has a gentle temperament and is timid, it should be kept quiet around the feeding pond, so as not to affect the normal activities of the turtle such as feeding, basking in the sun, mating, and laying eggs.

3. Change the water of the breeding pond frequently, keep the pool water clean, and do a good job of hygiene in the breeding pond to prevent turtles from getting sick.

4. The sand and soil in the open space between the pool and the fence should maintain a certain humidity, and some cooling measures should be taken in the middle of summer, such as sprinkling water and planting some small shrubs.

5. Before the hibernation period, check the growth of the tortoise, add more feed to the weak, and feed the tortoise more feed, so that the tortoise can accumulate a large amount of nutrients, grow strong and winterize safely. Some turtles don't know how to eat when they are young, at this time, you can grab its left paw, pull out, and then grab its right paw, pull the two together slightly, it will poke its head out, and then gently clamp its head in the left and right directions, and when it opens its mouth, stuff the food in, it will know what can be eaten, and you will bite the food in the future.

6. Feeding. Timingly, the temperature in spring and autumn is low, and the turtle is not active in the morning and evening, and only feeds around noon, so it is advisable to feed at 8-9 o'clock in the morning. Positioning, along the shore of the pond segmented positioning to set up a fixed feeding point, the feeding point of the feeding table should be close to the water surface, convenient for the turtle to swallow water to bite food.

Qualitative, the feed should be kept fresh, and after feeding, the remaining food should be removed in time to prevent the feed from rotting and smelling.

1. Containers for raising turtles: When I was a child, turtles were raised with basins, and the basins were filled with sand (all of which were repeatedly washed with water), shaped into the shape of a slope, and the height of the water should ensure that the turtles could be all submerged in the deep water, and the turtles could expose their heads to the water in shallow places. Nowadays, the equipment for raising turtles is relatively advanced, and some are equipped with a gentle slope, along which the turtles can climb to the "shore" to bask in the sun.

In short, whether you make your own equipment or buy a ready-made one, you should be able to keep the baby turtle swimming and out of the water.

2. Temperature control: The turtle is a hibernating animal, if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will move slowly, sometimes it does not move for several days, you think it is dead. Nowadays, most people raise turtles indoors, and if the indoor heating is indoors, the turtles rarely hibernate, and the nutrition of the turtles fed by the family can keep up, so they can still maintain their vitality in the winter.

Someone added a temperature control device to the tortoise, in fact, there is not much need, but since the heater is installed, it is best to set the temperature to about 20 degrees, which is the tortoise's favorite temperature range, and its growth rate is relatively fast.

3. Food matching: Turtles are omnivores, how to define omnivores? It's what you eat, it eats.

Of course, fish is its favorite food, if it is a small turtle, they can't eat the whole fish, you can buy a special turtle feed to feed, the basic ingredients of the feed are dried fish or shrimp skin, are mashed can be given to the baby turtle to eat. When the turtle grows up, it eats more, starchy food, eggs, meat, and vegetables, which is similar to raising pigs. It should be noted, though:

The food should not spoil, the dead fish that cannot be eaten should be fished out as soon as possible, and the food should be diversified, and the dishes and meat should be well matched. Some baby turtles don't eat when they buy it, so you have to smear the food on their mouth, and slowly they learn.

4. Surrounding environment: turtles are timid by nature, so they can protect themselves with their shells at any time, and shrink into them when there is danger, in order to make your turtle more energetic, the environment around the turtle should be as quiet as possible, if you still have cats and dogs, you must ensure that cats and dogs can not approach the turtle, although they do not eat turtles, but they like to have fun with turtles, and turtles are frightened and do not eat for a few days.

5. Do a good job of disease prevention measures: disease prevention is mainly sterilization, usually to equip the turtle with water equipment, otherwise you have to change the water frequently, the frequency of water change is kept at about once every 3 days, and when you are busy, you can also change the water once every five days, and only half of the water is changed at a time, so as to protect the ecological balance of bacteria. The most common disease of turtles is enteritis, which is not vigorous, eats little, and has foul stools.

Change the water frequently, keep the food clean and not spoiled, and let it recuperate for a few days.

1. First of all, if you raise a baby turtle, first find a pot to raise a baby turtle, you can put some water in the pot, don't put too much, so as not to live in the water for a long time, which is not good for the growth of the baby turtle, put less water.

2. You can put some stones in the pot appropriately, so that the little turtle can climb on the top of the stone to rest, generally the little turtle does not particularly like to be in the water all the time, they still prefer to rest on some stones.

3. The baby turtle is relatively small, in the early stage, it is best to feed it with turtle food, so that the baby turtle will eat, and secondly, it can also ensure the healthy growth of the baby turtle, and after the baby turtle grows up, it is better to consider feeding some small shrimp meat.

4. Then, when raising a small turtle, you can properly release the little turtle out to make noise for it to move, don't keep it in the pot, the little turtle itself crawls relatively slowly, and you don't need to worry about the little turtle disappearing all of a sudden.

5. After that, when raising a small turtle, it is necessary to control the temperature, the small turtle generally needs to survive in an environment of more than 20 degrees, which is conducive to its growth, and in winter, the baby turtle needs to be raised at home.

6. Finally, when raising baby turtles, you need to have enough patience, otherwise it is difficult to raise baby turtles, because the growth rate of the turtles themselves is relatively slow, and if the turtles do not eat for a long time, it is easy to lead to death, and you need to have enough patience to take care of it.

1. Edible food. Turtles are omnivores and are well fed, eating vegetables, pork and rice, and are not picky eaters. As long as the owner gives the turtle food on time every day, the turtle's health can be guaranteed.

2. Prepare a suitable water tank. You need to prepare two large water tanks for the turtle, the turtle not only swims in the water, but also crawls on the ground, and you should prepare two connected water tanks to make the turtle's life more free.

3. Sufficient light. The turtle's abundant sunlight and daily exposure to sunlight can help the turtle replenish vitamins and calcium at the same time, so that its body can be stronger.

4. Disinfect on time. The fish tank where the turtle lives needs to be disinfected on time, otherwise bacteria will breed and cause the turtle to get sick. Bathe the turtle once a week and pay attention to hygiene.

5. Play with the turtle. Animals, like children, need to be cared for and patiently accompanied. Play with the turtle for a period of time every day, and slowly develop a relationship with the turtle.

6. Drink plenty of water. After the turtle shell, it will be healthier.

7. Maintain the right water temperature. The water temperature in the fish tank should be kept at 25 degrees, not too cold or too hot, and the water should be changed once a week to keep the water clean and give the turtle a good living environment.

1. It's about what the little turtle eats. The turtle is a more omnivorous animal, and its eating habits are similar to that of pigs, haha! Basically, it can eat fish, meat, rice, vegetables, etc.

In comparison, fish and shrimp are the favorite food of turtles, and the cost is not very high. You can buy some dried fish or shrimp skin and mash them for the baby turtles to eat. It should be noted that the food should not be spoiled, and those that cannot be eaten should be fished out in time.

Some baby turtles don't eat when they first buy it, so you can put the food on your mouth and eat it when you get used to it.

2. The choice of container, this is also relatively easy to get, you can use a flat-bottomed container, plastic basin, glass tank or small aquarium. The environment should be made into a water area to ensure that the turtle can climb up, and there should be a relatively shady place, so that the baby turtle can have enough place to rest. I raised a small turtle by myself, used a small breeding box, and put a piece of sunken wood, which was relatively simple.

3. Light, this is the same as fish farming, light is also a must. In particular, small turtles are prone to various diseases if they lack light. Just like people, they need to absorb light and replenish calcium.

Therefore, light can promote the absorption of calcium by turtles, which is conducive to the growth of turtle shells and prevents turtle shell softening.

4. Disease prevention. It is necessary to change the water of the turtle regularly in order to allow the turtle to grow in a good environment. The frequency of water change is kept at about once every 3 days, and if you feed too much and can't finish eating, it will lead to turbidity in the water, so you need to change the water in time.

Regular sun exposure, as they are ectotherms, need sunlight to reach a proper body temperature, and if there is not enough sunlight on the balcony or in the open air, the land part should be warmed by a lamp. Turtles raised indoors or in areas with insufficient sunlight are deficient in ultraviolet light and should be exposed to ultraviolet light two or three times a week for five minutes each time.
