The problem of keeping snapping turtles, how to raise snapping turtles?

1 Absolutely not to use tap water, water should be dried for two to three days, to remove the chlorine in the water, otherwise it is harmful to the turtle, 2 It is recommended not to feed turtle food, turtle food is a way to make money for people who sell, and it is useless for us to raise turtles, the nutrition is not high, the turtle grows slowly, it is recommended to feed small fish, you can buy some and put it in the refrigerator to freeze, take it out to thaw when feeding, and feed it alive, remember not to feed lean meat, lean fiber turtle digestion is slow, it will cause stomach problems and enteritis, if you want to make the turtle grow fast, just feed it a day, I've been raising snapping turtles for eighteen years and they're growing very fast. 3 As long as the water is not turbid in the tank, there is no need to change the water, no matter how many days, as long as the water is turbid and dirty, it must be changed, the snapping turtle must be a carnivore, the water quality is easy to dirty, the turtle can not eat the food, take it out in time, keep the water quality, and the temperature is low now

<>How snapping turtles are raised

1. The most suitable growth temperature for snapping turtles is 28 31; When the ambient temperature is below 17, snapping turtle activity decreases; When the temperature is lower than 10, the snapping turtle will enter hibernation, and when it is lower than 6, it will enter deep hibernation, so in the process of raising snapping turtles, we must pay attention to the temperature of the environment, which is very important for the healthy growth of snapping turtles.

2. Snapping turtles need to hibernate. Hibernation promotes sexual maturation of snapping turtles, keeps them in shape, prolongs their reproductive cycle, and also increases the turtle's resistance to viruses. Therefore, snapping turtles tend to have more brute force after natural hibernation, and at the same time are more fierce and aggressive.

However, hibernation also has a disadvantage for crocodiles, that is, hibernation will slow down the growth rate of snapping turtles. If it is a natural hibernation, generally when the ambient temperature is lower than 18, the owner needs to stop feeding the snapping turtle, let the snapping turtle excrete the storage in its body, and only after the storage in the snapping turtle's body is excreted clean, it can be allowed to enter hibernation.

3. Snapping turtles are prone to tail docking during the feeding period, so owners should pay attention to avoid snapping turtle tail breaking. The feeding environment is too small and will also cause the snapping turtle to break its tail, because the snapping turtle is forced to be in a curled state for a long time in such a feeding environment, and over time, it is easy to cause its tail part to die due to insufficient blood supply, blacken, and finally fall off. In addition, the momentum of the snapping turtle during feeding tends to cause it to slip backwards in the rearing container, causing its tail to break off because it hits the wall of the container.

In addition, snapping turtles may also be due to the depth of the water and cause tail breaking, generally speaking, the depth of the water required for crocodile breeding is equal to the height of the turtle's back, which is more beneficial to raising snapping turtles, so the owner should pay attention to control the water level of the snapping turtle.

4. In addition, in the process of raising snapping turtles, it is common for snapping turtles to rot and peel off their skin, although both of these are common phenomena of snapping turtles, but the two are completely different situations, and because the initial symptoms of the two are relatively similar, many turtle owners are difficult to distinguish between the two situations. However, if you pay attention, it is easy to distinguish between turtle rot and peeling. Rotten skin is a symptom of some kind of ** disease of turtles, such as turtle rot skin disease.

There are usually symptoms such as erosion, whitening or yellowing, and odor around the rotten skin, and the texture of the rotten skin is sticky, and the turtle rot skin disease can lead to the death of the sick turtle when the skin rot is severe; The peeling belongs to the normal growth phenomenon of snapping turtles, and the fast-growing snapping turtles shed their skins more frequently, and the peeling represents the growth of snapping turtles, and the owner does not need to intervene in this, so that the snapping turtles can shed their skins naturally.

5. During the breeding of snapping turtles, it is recommended to pay attention to the installation of a temperature control device and disinfection device in the turtle breeding environment to keep the feeding temperature suitable and the environment is good, so as to create a good breeding environment for snapping turtles and improve the efficiency of turtle breeding.
