    Now it's a little colder, if you don't know how to raise it, it's best to get him a warmer place,,, wait until the end of March and April when the weather is warmer and then ask for something to eat!

    By the way, not all turtles are called turtles, and turtles are just one type of turtle

    Upstairs is the right solution! Now it's cold, and most of the turtles are sleeping, and they won't eat if you feed them. Pay attention to keeping warm, for example, hanging a light bulb in the turtle box can keep the turtle warmer.

    When spring comes, you can feed it lean meat.

    If you want to raise them, the most effective and direct way to raise them is to.

    1. Prepare a 50cm long 35cm wide 40cm high fish tank (about 25 yuan), and the water level is loaded into 25cm-30cm high.

    2. Put a 5w-10w upper filter (about 15 yuan), circulate water for 24 hours, keep the water quality clear and rich in nitrifying bacteria.

    3. Put a 50W constant temperature heating rod (about 10 yuan), 24 hours of electricity, constant temperature heating does not require electricity, the temperature can be controlled at about 25 degrees, if the temperature is too low, the turtle is prone to disease or does not eat and affects the development and growth (hibernation effect).

    4. A hard plastic board or benzene board floats on the surface of the water, and the little turtle will climb up to play by itself, and it is also very interesting for the little turtle to fall into the water when the board is turned over, haha.

    5. Food selection: bread worms, beef heart chopped strips frozen to be fed (recommended), small loaches 3-4 meals a day.

    The above methods can raise the female baby turtle to half a catty weight within 1 year, and the male baby turtle can also reach 3 taels. And it's trouble-free, you don't have to change the water all the time. It takes about 4 years to lay eggs (I raise eggs for 4 years).

    If you feel that it is not troublesome to change the water, use a tank with 30 heights, 50 widths and 50 lengths, put water on the left and pebbles on the right, the growth of the baby turtle will be restricted, and the temperature is not easy to control, so it is not recommended to raise it like this.

    Turtles should be released often to crawl and let them bask in the sun Turtles are reptiles, not fish, and they draw oxygen directly from the air, not from the water. The kind of deep fish tank is not suitable, especially when it is full of water, put the turtle in it, it has to swim very hard to the surface of the water, stretch out its head for ventilation, and after a long time, the physical strength is not exhausted, and it will drown. A stone is placed in the middle of the fish tank, which is used for turtles and turtles to bask in the sun and rest, because turtles and turtles cannot always soak in water, otherwise it will seriously affect their health, and even the turtle shell will rot!

    The size of the stone is larger than the turtle and turtle, accounting for about one-sixth of the fish tank area, the height is slightly higher than the two turtles and turtles stacked up, the top should be flat, of course the fish tank should be added with water, the water surface should be slightly lower than the surface of the stone, because the turtle and turtle do not breathe in the water, so the water requirements are far lower than the standard of fish farming, as long as the water is not too turbid and smelly. Types of turtle feed: 1

    Animal feed. Including all kinds of fresh and marine fish, molluscs, large eggs, aquatic insects, all kinds of poultry and wild animals meat and water, silkworm pupa, etc. 2.

    Plant feed. It includes corn, wheat, soybeans, millet, rice, all kinds of cakes, melons and fruits, vegetables, aquatic plants, etc. 3.

    Feed additives. It includes bone meal, calcium powder, salt, high-efficiency fast-growing additives in minerals, animal multivitamins, cod liver oil, malt, etc. in vitamins, oxytetracycline and sulfonamides in hangmycin, dry yeast, maternal feeding, and seed koji in stomach medicine. Although turtles and 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.

    I am now feeding it as a general feed, twice a week with small fish, shrimp and other animal feed. In this way, the nutrition is more balanced. It is recommended that you do not feed raw meat for a long time, it is not good for the baby turtle, if the raw meat is not processed cleanly, it will make the baby turtle easy to get white eye disease.

    It's dangerous for your water to be unclean, which makes baby turtles more susceptible to getting sick. When you feed, no matter what kind of bait you feed, be sure to fish it out when the baby turtle is no longer eating, so that it does not affect the water quality. Generally, the water should be changed once every 3-5 days, and my water quality is good, so it is only changed once every 7 days.

    Just let the turtle bask in more sun (except for hibernation) and keep the water clean. The water level in the tank is kept at such an end that the turtle's neck and nostrils can be exposed, and a stone can be placed in the water to let the turtle dry its back.

    It's good to feed it once a day, and the amount is so specific that the turtle can eat it within 20 minutes, and if you can't eat more, it will affect the water cleanliness.

    Juvenile turtles are better fed with turtle food and red nematodes, and adult turtles can be fed with fish, shrimp and loaches, supplemented by green vegetables.

    This amount needs to be experimented, that is, the turtle is fed until it does not eat, and the amount of food it eats will be known after a few trials. The turtle won't be eating when it's full, so there's no need to worry about the turtle holding on. After trying out the amount of food, it is better to feed less each time, not too much.

    The turtle begins to stop eating at around 20 degrees Celsius and enters hibernation at 13 degrees Celsius. If the turtle is relatively small and its physical strength is not enough to survive hibernation, you can buy a heating tube to heat the water temperature to 26-28 degrees, and you can feed and feed normally. The water must completely submerge the heating rod.

    You can raise the end of the tank so that it creates a ramp of water in the tank, and just place the heating tube in the deepest part of the water.
