Most tortoises are tame and can tolerate any food, and judging by the food, they are very easy pets to keep. But turtles, like lizards, both need to sunbathe. In addition, the tortoise is nearly round in size, and its weight is much higher than that of the turtle, and it is also very active.
Ordinary cages tend to be too small, which can be more troublesome compared to other reptiles.
1 Food. Although it is said that 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. Turtles need a lot of calcium and should be fed food that contains a lot of calcium.
Recently, a well-balanced turtle feed has recently been introduced on the market, so you can eat it with confidence. In addition, carp feed and dog food are also suitable foods. Occasionally feed some fresh food such as boneless fish, snake meat, rats, etc., which will surely win the love of turtles.
Feeding only fish and sliced meat will cause malnutrition, and water-soluble nutrients need to be added. The food introduced above is provided to turtles that often inhabit water, such as tortoises, which do not go into the water and prefer plant food, so they are not suitable for artificial feeding. Generally, vegetables such as leafy vegetables, cabbage, and carrots can be fed with nutrients.
It can also be fed with the feed of the Nine Senses Bird.
2 cages. Aquatic turtles can be raised in containers that can hold water, such as sinks. The actual size of the turtle is larger than it seems and the amount of movement is also high, so a larger cage is required.
On average, a sink with a side length of 60 cm is still too small, and it is better to keep it in a storage box for clothes.
3 Miscellaneous. Turtles are not exposed to ultraviolet rays and are also unable to use calcium. Compared to lizards, the facilities to prevent turtles from escaping are simpler, and as long as they are well supplied with water and have a shady place to rest, heat stroke is less likely to occur, and sunbathing is relatively simple.
If the calcium intake of young turtles is insufficient, the shell of the turtle is prone to become soft; If you don't get enough vitamin A, your eyes may turn white. When the above phenomenon occurs, in addition to the problem of insufficient vitamin A and calcium, it may also involve long-term feeding of low-nutrient food, insufficient ultraviolet rays, etc., which may be a mistake in the feeding method. It is necessary to provide nutritionally balanced food and use solar lamps to completely change the breeding environment.

One. How to keep a turtle.
a, food problems.
If you have a terrabahn, you like to eat meaty food. Feeding of water turtles: small fish, small shrimp, raw meat and other nutritious food.
The baby turtle should cut the raw fish and shrimp and feed them well. Do not feed cooked lean meat, fatty meat and indigestible food. Otherwise, you will have indigestion and will get sick.
Turtles mostly eat in the water, sometimes on the shore, and can be thrown directly into the water, or they can place their food in shallow water or near the slope where land and water meet. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head.
Do not feed when the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion. Turtles are most adapted to temperatures of 25-30 degrees, when they grow the fastest. The higher the temperature, the greater the amount of food, but when the temperature is too high, the amount of food decreases, and the lower the temperature, the smaller the amount of food.
b.Water quality issues.
If you don't have a filter at home, it's best to change the water once a day, and feed it once a day, don't feed too much, the turtle doesn't feel full, and the vitamin will not digest well, causing swollen legs. The amount of food a turtle eats is determined by the size of each turtle's head. Turtles defecate after eating, so it is easy to get rid of the meat tank if it is not cleaned in time.
The water department is clean, and the turtle is easy to get sick when it stays in the water.
As long as the water quality is kept clean (the water quality is best exposed to direct sunlight for more than 1 day, it can prevent turtle white eye disease and water mildew, nail rot, rotten skin disease, etc.) and the water temperature is constant (keeping the water temperature good can prevent turtles from getting colds and pneumonia and other diseases) These two points are mastered well, and the turtle is not easy to get sick.
c.Feeding environmental problems.
The turtle is an amphibian, if it is placed in a pure pool that is not connected to the land, the pool must be placed with stones, bricks and other platforms exposed to the water surface for the turtle to dry its back and rest, the turtle likes to hide in the hole, so you can use bricks to build a turtle nest to improve the turtle's sense of security.
Turtles mostly eat in the water, sometimes on the shore, and can be thrown directly into the water, or they can place their food in shallow water or near the slope where land and water meet. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head.
d.Back tanning and hibernation problems (do not give turtles sun exposure in autumn and winter when temperatures are low).
Turtles want to bask in the sun, and can not be directly exposed in high temperature weather, it is best to use a semi-shaded environment, turtle breeding water temperature environment maximum temperature should not exceed 37 degrees, summer should pay attention to the pool shading, generally can be used large-leaf plants for shading.
It's still cold, so it's better to keep it indoors, and the turtle hibernates, they're too small, they're more fragile, and they have to keep the temperature higher.
Are you in the South or in the North? What is the ambient temperature? Now the weather temperature is not warm enough, and it is normal not to move. It is recommended to spend the winter in a corner where the temperature does not change frequently. >>>More

The merchant said to the farmer in the village, "I'll buy a monkey for 100 yuan a piece." The villagers didn't know whether it was true or not, so they tried to catch the monkeys, and the merchant gave 100 yuan, and the whole village went to catch the monkeys, which was much easier than farming. Soon the merchant bought more than two thousand monkeys, and there were very few monkeys in the mountains. >>>More
