    If you buy a baby turtle, it's normal at that time, and its shell isn't too hard, and if it's a big turtle (like the size of a bowl), it's not normal, and it's probably calcium deficient, and it's going to get more sun, and it's going to feed more fish and meat.

    Brazilian tortoises should never be mixed with other tortoises. Don't let the Brazilian turtle defecate with poison.

    The Brazilian tortoise is an invasive alien species:

    The Brazilian tortoise is recognized as an ecological killer in the world, and has been listed as more than 100 of the most destructive species by the World Environmental Protection Organization, and several countries have listed it as a dangerous invasive alien species! China has also listed it as an invasive alien species, which has a significant impact on China's natural environment.

    Brazilian tortoise"Originally introduced and"Fushou snail"The same as for the purpose of eating. After its introduction, it was cultivated all over China. However, some studies have shown that the Brazilian turtle is the main host of Salmonella and carries a variety of parasites, so the Brazilian turtle is not suitable for consumption.

    As of November 2008, the harm of "wild" and "Brazilian tortoises" in China has been very serious, and the living space of native tortoises in some areas is on the verge of disappearing. There are two main reasons for this situation:

    1. Due to its wide diet, strong predation ability, high adaptability, and fast growth and reproduction, it is very easy to rob the ecological resources of a region and cause ecological imbalance in the region.

    2. In recent years, more and more people take turtle breeding for fun, out of ornamental needs, people's choice of turtles is diversified, and the pursuit of wild rare varieties to show grades, which has led to a sharp decrease in the number of wild native turtles in some areas, and the vacated living space is quickly occupied by the Brazilian turtles released at will, which further leads to the simplification of species in the ecological region.

    Therefore, turtle keepers are reminded that Brazilian tortoises should not be released into the wild.

    Hazard characteristics: Five stars.

    There's a new shell inside.

    The shedding of the tortoise's shell is not about shedding the entire shell and replacing it with a new carapace. It's the cuticle on its back and belly.

    The substance falls off one by one, it is a thin layer, but when you touch it with your hand, it feels like a fingernail, and it also has a certain hardness. The large ones are the size of a coin, and the small ones are like a fingernail.

    Turtle precautions.

    The first thing to do in turtle breeding is to choose the right breeding location, followed by to ensure that the water quality is fresh. Pay attention to balanced nutrition in feeding, and do not feed too much.

    Secondly, in the selection of baby turtles, everyone should choose small turtles with good breeds, lively and healthy. Don't choose a small turtle of an out-of-town breed for the sake of a momentary novelty. Baby turtles purchased from other places may be extremely unsuitable for the local breeding environment, which is not conducive to the breeding of baby turtles.

    Why is the turtle shell not molting completely, the bottom layer of the shell is not broken, but the shell cannot fade.

    It is normal for turtles to be unclean when they shed their shells, because turtles grow slowly, their shells are one by one, and some parts are sticky and tight. Generally, shelling may last up to a month, and it is more difficult to remove the abdominal carapace. In fact, just don't care about it, if you look uncomfortable, you can add a little less water during the day and more sun, too negative yang, add water at night over the turtle's back, and then slightly increase the amount of feeding to improve its metabolic level.

    Hello, 1. Friends who use heated turtle boxes to raise turtles need to use UVB lamps to irradiate turtles. For example, the laughing orange fruit is a water turtle, which can be irradiated at a distance of about 30 cm, and it is advisable to irradiate it for 4 to 6 hours a day. 2. Pay attention to maintaining the diversity of the turtle's diet, and usually feed the turtle more small fish and shrimp to supplement it with calcium.

    3. When it is found that the carapace of the turtle is relatively soft, the water level can be appropriately lowered to breed the turtle, and the amount of calcium-rich food that is buried in the buried mass can be increased.

    It's supposed to be a shell change.

    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 black chain bird 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 twice the length of the tortoise's back carapace to 1 time earlier, so that the turtle can stick its head out of the water at any time to breathe. 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 gentle slope and exposed sundeck in the water, so that the turtles can climb out of the water at any time to rest and bask 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 to eat, and pay attention to clean up the hard residue 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.
