Can juvenile turtles be raised with young turtles, and can toothed tortoises be mixed with grass tor

Raising of juvenile turtles and hatchlings.

1. Conditions for juvenile turtles and juvenile turtle ponds (1) Juvenile turtle ponds.

Juvenile turtle pond generally requires cement masonry structure, can be built indoors and outdoors, an area of 3 15 square meters, the depth of the pond is not only used to raise juvenile turtles, but also should consider other production purposes, one end of the pond or one side should leave some land, convenient for juvenile turtles to go ashore to rest. The dining table is located at the junction of the water and the land shore. The inlet and drainage system should be done well in the pool, and the inlet and outlet should be equipped with a fence to prevent escape.

If conditions permit, barbed wire can also be placed on the pond to shade and prevent heatstroke, snakes, birds, rats and other enemies. (2) Hatchling Pond.

Ponds of young turtles should be considered for warming. In order to facilitate the erection of greenhouses and feeding management, generally 50 80 square meters. The pond is rectangular, cement masonry, with a high wall and a depth of water that can be stored according to the size of the turtle.

A feed table and a large area of rest and drying tables should be set up in the pond to prevent turtles from drowning in the water because they cannot find a place to rest. The inlet and drainage system and heating equipment should be matched. 2. Raising of juvenile and juvenile turtles (1) Raising of juvenile turtles.

The juvenile turtle that has just come out of the shell is more delicate, and it is not suitable to go directly into the pool, so let it crawl freely on the fine sand first, and then put it into the indoor pot and dish for temporary maintenance after the umbilical cord is dry and convergent, and the body changes from curly to straight. In the first day or two, the juvenile turtles do not need to take in external nutrients because the yolk has not been absorbed. Two days later, we began to feed water flea earthworms and cooked egg yolks, and fed several times a day, each time to eat saturated and there was no surplus when the next time we fed them, and began to feed them after two days.

Yes, the difference in body size is not more than 3 cm.

The tooth tortoise can be mixed with the grass tortoise, the grass tortoise can be mixed with the yellow-throated, knife-backed musk turtle, pearl tortoise, and flower tortoise, as long as the grass tortoise is not with this kind of fierce water turtle or the body size difference is too large. The tooth-margined turtle can be mixed with the grass turtle, and the grass turtle can be mixed with the yellow-throated, knife-backed musk turtle, pearl turtle, and flower turtle. As long as the grass turtle is not with this kind of fierce water turtle or the body size is too different, it can be mixed.

Some turtles and turtles have a more fierce temperament, like snapping turtles and hawksbill turtles, and some turtles have a more docile temperament, like pearl turtles and flower turtles, and they always bully and meek.

Turtles with too large a disparity in body height cannot be mixed together, and the big turtle will bully the small turtle, and in serious cases, the limbs of the small turtle will be bitten off. The space should be large enough and the food should be sufficient. It is worth noting that polyculture will cause turtles and turtles to be in poor condition, and polyculture turtles will bite their tails with each other, and it is easy to bite off their tails or nails.

Brazilian red-eared turtle (details).

1. It seems to be the same, but in fact, the turtle species are very differentUsually the turtles raised in families are burrowing turtles, snake-necked turtles, green turtles, shooting turtles, Greek turtles, and Galapagos, etc., in fact, everyone knows whether their breeding methods are different. Greek tortoises, Galapagos and archery turtles are all a type of dry turtle, and if you raise these turtles, it is best to keep them in a wooden box because they don't like water by nature, and the bottom of the box is covered with sand, small stones, and a few large stones for the turtle to hide. Burrowing turtles, plesmal turtles, and green turtles prefer to live in the water, but they also need to have land-based facilities for the turtles to use for sunbathing when they are tired.

Second, how to ensure the nutrition of turtlesThe best nutritious food for turtles: Turtle feed usually has general nutrients, as well as foods with high nutritional content, in fact, both contain protein, sugar, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, but the amount of nutrients is different, if you want to understand clearly, please pay attention to the following.

General nutritious foods: cabbage, pumpkin, salad vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, kapok tofu and other foods with high nutritional content: komatsu, kohlrabi leaves, rape flowers, radish leaves and other foods that are taboo for turtles

In fact, turtles also have things that should not be eaten, such as gherkins or lettuce, because they are very high in nutrients. These include protein, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and vitamin C.

Baby turtles that have gone through the first winter are called hatchlings. Because the turtle grows very slowly, weighing only 100 150 grams at the 3rd instar, the juvenile turtle breeding includes the 2nd and 3rd instar turtles, and the feeding management methods are basically the same. In general, there are a few things to keep in mind:

When the water temperature rises to about 14, the overwintering hatchlings are moved to the hatchling pond for rearing. The hatchlings are kept in separate sizes according to different sizes, with 20 30 hatchlings per square meter and 10 20 hatchlings per square meter for 3-year-old turtles.

Bait feeding Combined with local bait resources, feed some low and nutritious animal feed, and put some grain feed in moderation, such as rice, grains, etc. Turtles can also be fed with artificial compound feed. The higher the water temperature, the greater the amount of food to eat, and the daily diet accounts for 5% to 10% of the body weight of the young turtle.

It can be fed 1 to 2 times a day.

Keep the water clean Deteriorating water quality can affect turtles to feed and even cause them to die of disease. Therefore, keeping the water clean is an important part of turtle farming. Especially in the hot summer, the turtle eats a lot of food and feces, which can easily make the pond water smelly, so it is necessary to change the water frequently.

If necessary, a shade shelter should be built on the turtle pond to prevent excessive sunlight from entering the pond and causing high water temperature and water quality deterioration.

4) Do a good job of wintering Young turtles overwinter in the same way as juvenile turtles. However, due to the large and strong body of the young turtles, the survival rate of overwintering is high. If there are a large number of turtles and it is difficult to overwinter indoors, the older hatchlings can be arranged to overwinter outdoors.

There are two ways to overwinter outdoors: one is to let the hatchlings overwinter in the original pond, just by changing it to clean water and raising the water level to more than 1 meter. The second is to dig a 50 cm deep hole in a warm place with a leeward and sunny edge, the size of which is determined according to the number of turtles, and the hole mouth faces south.

The roof of the cave is covered with insulated straw and linoleum. When the water temperature drops below 10, put the hatchlings into the hole one by one (the density is not too large), then seal the hole with a wooden or cement board, and pile it with soil, and only extend one ventilation tube for the turtle to breathe. This waterless method of wintering can achieve a survival rate of more than 90%.

It depends on whether it is a tortoise or a terraughtain.

If you have a turtle, you can keep it in the water all the time (you can submerge the turtle's back), and if you have a tortoise, you can soak it for 10 minutes a day.

When a tortoise is first bought, it takes a while to get used to the new environment, and it doesn't eat for about a week, so you just let it bask in the sun (1-2 hours a day) and put it in the water.

There is also a water turtle when eating, who has to submerge the turtle's back The temperature is about 20 degrees, otherwise it will not eat, and depending on what your turtle eats, omnivorous or carnivorous, you can feed some small fish, shrimp, insects, meat and the like.

If you're a vegetarian, feed some leaves.

Semi-aquatic (terrestrial) In nature, the yellow-margined turtle inhabits the forest edges, weeds, and shrubs in hilly and mountainous areas, under tree roots, in stone crevices and other relatively quiet places. The pattern of diurnal activity varies with the season. The yellow-edged box turtle is a mountain turtle and cannot live in deep waters.

The toothed turtle is an aquatic turtle, as long as the utensils can hold water, the height is more than 40 cm (20 cm for raising larvae), and some gravel or pebbles are placed in the utensils for the turtle to climb, if there is no conditional water feeding; The turtle can also be placed in a wooden box with 5 cm of sand at the bottom of the box and a large shallow basin for drinking and bathing. The distribution area of the tooth-margin turtle is narrow, and the adaptability is relatively poor. Generally, feed 2-3 times a week, each feeding amount accounts for 10% of the turtle's body weight, the time is appropriate at noon, and the water is changed 4-5 hours after feeding.

When changing the water in late autumn, the water temperature should be higher than the original water temperature to prevent the turtle from developing enteritis. In addition to feeding and changing the water daily, the sick turtle should also be observed frequently, and once the sick turtle is found, the sick turtle will be isolated and raised. The toothed turtle is more sensitive to temperature changes, generally at a temperature of 20, a small amount of food, 17 into hibernation, 35 will appear "summer hibernation", do not eat and move less.

Therefore, it is necessary to measure the water temperature frequently and observe the change of temperature in daily maintenance, so as to take corresponding measures.

So the two can't be kept together.

Young turtles have fragile stomachs and intestines, so they should be fed with easy-to-digest turtle food. Baby turtles are growing up quickly, so be sure to choose a baby turtle diet that is high in protein. I use high-strength baby turtle food, which is more comprehensive and inexpensive, and a bag of more than a dozen yuan can be eaten for a long time.

It is not recommended to feed fish and shrimp meat, as young turtles have a fragile digestive system and are prone to indigestion. You can occasionally feed some small dried shrimp, it is recommended to soak soft and then feed, do not feed too much at a time.

Young turtles with a dorsal carapace of less than 5 cm can be fed once a day in summer, and the amount of each feeding should be eaten within 5 minutes. It is best to feed at noon when the temperature is relatively high every day, and the turtle is easy to digest.

About water changes. Since there is no filtration, we need to change the water manually, and theoretically we need to minimize the number of water changes, because the new water will easily make the turtle feel insecure, and there will also be a risk of cold caused by temperature differences. As long as the water doesn't stink, it's okay if it's dirty.

The turtle you buy may belong to the water life, so you should keep it in the water, but not too much water; Just over the turtle's back, but it's okay. Because the turtle is small, the food given to it should also be small and broken. Try the raw lean meat first, fresh is best, I'm sure it will eat it.
