How to raise hatched baby centipedes? How to choose feeding and feeding?

According to the species of centipedes, choose the right living environment for breeding, you need to choose the right feed for breeding, and you must choose the right breeding box, so that you can better breed.

You can prepare a cardboard box with a lot of straw and food in it, and you can slowly raise it and prepare some meat for it to eat.

Pay attention to the control of temperature, humidity, and breeding environment.

Although the little centipede that has just left its mother has initially possessed the ability to handle life, it is still relatively delicate after all. So we often put the centipedes that have just hatched in smaller containers, such as plastic bottles and the like. Then, when the first hibernation period arrives, each plastic basin with a diameter of about one meter can be stocked with 2-3 litters of young centipedes born at the same time.

Spread about 5 cm of feeding soil in the pot, and then stack 3-4 layers of tiles that absorb enough water on the soil to inhabit the centipede, and put some sponges on the tiles for the centipedes to drink, and put one or several small plastic plates on the feeding soil for feeding. Multiple of these containers are placed on the soil of an empty tank to prevent the young centipedes from escaping as they grow up.

The feed of the newborn centipede can be prepared with egg yolk and milk, and the egg yolk is stirred well and put directly on the plastic plate, while the milk needs to be dissolved in water first, and then saturated with a small sponge, and then the small sponge is placed on the plastic plate and replaced once a day. At the same time, special attention should be paid to cleaning the plastic plate and sponge, because the food of centipedes on it will produce bacteria and microorganisms, which is easy to cause harm to the body of small centipedes, so when we find that the sponge emits a rancid smell, we should replace it. After half a month, the amount of egg yolk and milk should be gradually reduced, and other baits such as earthworms should be fed at the same time.

When raising centipedes, special attention should be paid to temperature and humidity control. The temperature of the baby centipedes should be maintained between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius as much as possible, and if they leave their mother during the autumn when the temperature is changeable, the temperature of the feeding soil should be carefully controlled. The humidity of the soil for young centipedes should be maintained at 20%-25%, and in order to prevent water accumulation at the bottom, some small eyes should be pricked with needles or small nails at the bottom of the feeding container to facilitate leakage.

At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the breeding of centipedes. The feed of centipedes should be juicy and soft animal feed, earthworms and tadpoles are the bait that young centipedes like to eat, when feeding earthworms, they should choose individuals similar to the thickness of the centipede's body, cut them into small pieces, and cast them on a plastic plate. Tadpoles, on the other hand, can be fed directly, or they can be removed from the internal organs and chopped into meat puree before feeding.

Young centipedes mainly drink water by absorbent sponges.

Small centipedes can be placed in a humid environment for raising, and some smaller meat foods can also be placed in the environment, so that small centipedes can be better raised.

To ensure sufficient feed and water, you can also use milk to feed, the temperature should be controlled above 20, and the sun should be exposed in time.

Pay attention to the temperature, maintain the appropriate humidity, pay attention to the light situation, and breed according to scientific methods, and the breeding methods of different species of centipedes are different.

How to raise hatched baby centipedes? How to choose feeding and feeding?

Hello dear, ensure adequate feed and drinking water. The feed of young centipedes should be based on juicy and soft moving pins, and earthworms and tadpoles are the feed that young centipedes prefer to eat. When feeding earthworms, individuals with a body thickness similar to the centipede should be selected, cut into small pieces, and thrown on a plastic plate.

Tadpoles, on the other hand, can be fed directly, or they can be removed from the internal organs and chopped into meat puree before feeding. Young centipedes mainly drink water from absorbent sponges. In the early stage, the feed of young centipedes is better to choose egg yolk and milk feeding, the egg yolk is stirred into a millet shape and directly put on the plastic plate, while the milk needs to be dissolved in water first, and then saturated with a small sponge, and then the small sponge is placed on the plastic plate and replaced once a day.

Special attention should be paid to cleaning the plastic plate and sponge, and when the sponge is found to be smelling rancid, it should be replaced. After half a month, the amount of egg yolk and milk should be gradually reduced, and earthworms and other fodder should be fed at the same time. Hope it can help you, dear <>

Hello! Centipede farming methods:

1. Box breeding. The breeding box is made of wooden boards, its size is 55 cm long, 45 cm wide, 30 cm high is more suitable, the inner wall of the box is pasted with a layer of non-toxic plastic film, and the box mouth is equipped with an iron yarn box cover.

After the box is made, put it in the appropriate position indoors, a plurality of boxes is discharged, the bottom of the box is placed with multiple layers of tiles, the distance between the tiles is about centimeters, and the feet are cushioned around with cement, usually 5 6 pieces are stacked, so that the gap left between the tiles can be inhabited by centipedes.

Before the tiles are put into the box, they should be washed with water and enough water should be absorbed to create a moist environment for the centipedes. And after a certain period of time, replace a new batch of tiles to keep it moist and clean and hygienic.

2. Tank culture. Ceramic cylinders are usually used, and ceramic cylinders with a diameter of 50 to 60 cm wide and 80 to 100 cm high are selected. Place it in a proper place indoors, and place a layer of gravel or broken tiles at the bottom of the tank. Cover a layer of 30 cm thick fertile vegetable garden soil on the top, level it slightly, stack the tiles on the soil surface according to the box cultivation method, the top tile is about 20 cm away from the cylinder mouth, and cover the cylinder mouth with an iron gauze cover to prevent centipedes from escaping.

3. Pond culture. It is to build a pond for indoor or outdoor farming, and the pond is a brick and cement structure. The environment in the pool should be warm, cool, humid and quiet. Indoor pools are generally about 2 square meters per pool area is suitable, rectangular, the pool height is 50 60 cm, the inner wall is smoothed with cement, leaving no gaps, and lined with agricultural film, or with 20 cm wide glass inlaid above the pool.

The bottom of the pond is not paved with cement, first a layer of small soil blocks about 10 cm thick, and then 5 or 6 layers of tiles are piled on top, leaving a gap of centimeters between the tiles for centipedes to inhabit and lay eggs and hatch. In areas with cold weather, a pit 50 to 60 centimeters deep can be dug at a certain distance from the wall on the inside of the pool wall, and stones, broken bricks and tiles are piled up in the pit, and a gap is created for centipedes to overwinter, and the mouth of the pool is covered with iron or plastic gauze covers.

The eggs of centipedes are oval in shape and vary in size. Generally, the eggs are about 3 mm in diameter, beige, and translucent. The egg membrane is elastic, the egg mass hatches slowly, and there is no significant change in the first 5 days, but it gradually turns from beige to white. After half a month, the egg grows and is kidney-shaped, the middle mark is dehisced, and the egg is 5 mm long; After 20 days, it is crescent-shaped, with faintly visible small claws, and the eggs are about 7 mm; After 1 month, it begins to take on the form of a larvae, with a body length of about centimeters, and can wriggle in the arms of a female centipede; 35 After 40 days, the larval centipede grows to centimeters and is able to crawl up and down, but not yet from the mother; 43 After 45 days, the young centipedes are blue in color, have grown to 2 centimeters, and are able to move alone from the mother.

During the whole incubation period, the mother has accumulated sufficient nutrients to feed it, otherwise the eggs will be contaminated by food and eat themselves (Coloring 22, 23).

1. Control feeding. To control the feeding of centipedes, various forms such as feeding pools, feeding tanks, and feeding tanks can be used, but they should be prevented from escaping. The walls of the breeding pond can be made of glass or plastic sheeting, and ditches can also be built around it to prevent centipedes from escaping.

In the artificial breeding of centipedes, it is a very important task to ensure the survival rate of centipede larvae. Centipedes need certain environmental conditions for egg laying, hatching, and rearing, so it is of great significance to strengthen management and protect them in a timely manner to ensure the smooth completion of reproduction and centipede hatching.

2. Isolation of egg-pregnant females. Centipedes require a quiet environment for egg laying and hatching, and if there is a disturbance, it often happens that females eat eggs and even eat larvae. It has been observed that in the same rearing pond, the spawning time of females is very inconsistent, and the activities of female and male centipedes that do not lay eggs often interfere with and disrupt the normal progress of spawning and hatching, and some also have the phenomenon of grabbing eggs.

Therefore, before the female lays eggs, it should be reared in separate tanks, or isolated in large feeding tanks with glass sheets, bottomless glasses or canned food boxes, tiles, etc.

3. Strengthen feeding before childbirth to increase nutrition. Centipedes do not eat or drink water during hatching time, and maintain their activities by consuming their own nutrients. Before laying eggs, the female has the habit of eating a lot of nutrients, so the feeding amount should be increased, and attention should be paid to adjusting the type of food, so as to encourage the female to eat more and increase the nutrition before hatching.

4. Guardianship during the incubation period. During the period of centipede holding eggs and rearing young, there are certain reactions to disturbance, vibration, strong light, strong sound, etc. Therefore, the nursery must choose a quiet and shady place, and it is best to install red lights indoors, and use cloth or bamboo curtains to block the windows to prevent strong light.

The incubator tank in the house should be placed in advance, and once the eggs are laid, they should not be moved. The tester should observe with caution and gentleness, do not move the shielded slide (tile) casually, and do not use a flashlight to irradiate.

There is no need to feed during the incubation period, but because it is the height of summer, if the humidity in the hatching nest is too low, it will affect the normal development of the embryo, so water should be added to the hatching tank in a timely manner. When adding water, it should be poured slowly along the wall of the tank, so that the inner wall around the hatchery nest is slightly damp. Do not sprinkle water directly inside the nest and do not allow excessive humidity in the nest.

After hatching, the larvae centipedes may temporarily gather in groups, but they can also move and hunt for food alone. At this time, the female also gradually leaves the hatchery nest and moves alone. Due to the phenomenon of centipedes competing for food and eating too much, the females should be removed or the larvae should be separated and raised in time.

Fifth, the law of individual growth. Under the condition of artificial feeding, the body length of centipedes can reach the standard of small strips for medicinal use (8 cm) within two years, and after two years, it will approach the standard of large strips. Therefore, it can be inferred that it takes 2-3 years for the captive centipede to be bred from the time the captured adult centipede lays eggs, hatches and is provided for medicinal purposes.

Eggs and centipedes.

At present, the production of centipedes is mainly based on eggs, supplemented by centipedes, most of which are collected in the wild.

1. The collection and transportation of eggs, the collection of eggs in spring, saves time, effort and low cost, and is the method commonly adopted by farmers at present. The egg mass produced soon is small in size, the egg mass is elastic, not easy to disperse, and it is convenient to transport, because the peak period of centipede eggs is 5-8 o'clock in the morning, so the best time to fish for centipede eggs is 6-11 o'clock in the morning. The means of transporting the eggs can be buckets, and centipede eggs that are transported over long distances or have a long production time should be sprinkled with a small amount of water in the bucket to avoid the egg masses sticking to each other.

2. Collection, transportation and selection of centipedes.

1) Spring collection. Centipedes generally come out of the river from the beginning of April to the middle of April every year, and from the middle of April to the end of April, the water temperature begins to lay eggs at 10-11 o'clock, so the spring collection of centipedes should seize the time to catch in the river, swamp or wild natural bubbles.

2) Autumn collection. From mid-September to mid-October every year, it is the time when centipedes descend into the river, and a large number of species of centipedes can be caught during this period. Species of centipedes should be caught by nets, hands and urns, and it is strictly forbidden to catch them with medicated catches, electric shocks and other methods.

3) Buy-in. At present, many centipede households take the method of buying eggs and centipedes, this method is an important way to solve the provenance, which can supplement the lack of self-catch, but it should be noted that the spring to buy centipedes should master the time, and the female centipedes after ovulation are ready to lay eggs in the next year, because the recapture rate is low, so the effect is not large.

4) Transportation of species centipedes. Regardless of the method obtained, the centipede must be protected from damage, the centipede must be packed in a sack or basket, and must not be used to pierce the eyes, nostrils and forehead with rope and wire, and the cage should be packed in a cage during long-distance transportation, covered with straw and other mulch in the cage, and sprinkled with water frequently to maintain humidity; It must be washed with clean river water to avoid death due to drying of the centipede. There is no need to transport centipedes with water.

Spring transportation to master the transport time, can not long distance transport, if more than 5-6 days, the centipede will not be "hugged" and unfertilized eggs.

5) Selection of centipedes. At present, there is no selection standard for centipedes, according to the growth cycle of centipedes and the practical experience of recent years, centipedes should be selected 3-4 years old, with a strong physique, a weight of about 50 grams, and the body color standard is better than black brown.
