    It should be noted that newly bought turtles and turtles that have just hibernated will be very afraid of life, and they will refuse to eat for a while...

    Of course, it's okay if the turtle doesn't eat for half a year.,You won't see God.,Don't worry.。。。 As long as you keep it for a while and get familiar with the environment... It's okay if you don't eat for half a year, you can't starve to death, don't worry

    I will eat it when I buy it.,Or fight with other turtles.,It's a super good turtle.,Healthy,Active,**,Not afraid of people.,This kind of turtle interaction is very good in the future.。。。

    There is also the first time the turtle eats, that is, to eat, it is particularly difficult, the first time you eat it, it is easy to say... Secretly tell you, Brazil turtles, grass turtles, pearl turtles and other little guys must be put in the water to eat, and they must drown the turtle's back, otherwise it will not feel safe and will not eat it if it dies

    To feed the turtle, you should first leave the turtle a little for a few days, don't pay attention to him, let the turtle familiarize yourself with the environment, find a sunny day, and dry the turtle first, you can use small shrimp, or small fish, to live, get some blood, don't die, use a clip to put it in front of its eyes to shake around, he will basically eat. The turtle has bad eyes, you have to put something in front of its eyes to know...

    Just like this, don't feed cooked food, feed raw, like ham sausage and rice and the like are cooked, don't feed pork and feed, easy to get sick, easy to die, feed is made by black-hearted businessmen, they can't wait to eat your turtle to death, hello go to them to buy it, unless the turtle feed you use is a famous brand, more than 30 grams a pack costs dozens of dollars... It's so expensive".<

    You can feed turtles, earthworms, small fish, shrimp, grasshoppers, or fish at home, chickens and ducks, and you can also feed them if you don't want the internal organs. Feeding amount, don't look at the experience on the Internet, what 5%, 10%, don't pay attention to them, you just feed the turtle the size of the head, the small turtle is fed every day, that is, less than one catty, the big turtle is fed once every three days. Don't worry

    Water is needed, and it is necessary to submerge the back armor above, otherwise after a long time, there is no water, the armor will be deformed, and a stone is placed in the water for the turtle to climb and bask in the sun. Turtles like to bask in the sun very much, but they will die if they don't dry out of water...

    I've been raising turtles for many years, so I'm not an expert, but my experience is okay. You can refer to it.

    Just three points: maintain water quality, do not feed pork, and bask in the sun more, so that the turtles raised are healthy and lively, and do not get sick...

    Pearl turtles and grass turtles grab food.

    This is a small Brazil, the coin is so big.

    In the case of a similar size, polyculture is possible.

    This is a map of the environment in which I raise turtles. Water basin with stone and sunlight. That's it...

    There are many possibilities, first of all, the water quality, is not often not changed. The identification method is very simple, take out the turtle and turtle to be capable, ask whether it is the fishy smell of dead fish and rotten shrimp or the rancid smell of rotten, if it is dry and there is a great rancid smell, then it must be rotten nails or rotten skin, generally speaking, the smell of rotten nails will be heavier. Look for holes in the shell of the tortoise, a place where it is rotting.

    1. Clean the tortoise's body with toothpaste, squeeze the toothpaste on the toothbrush, then gently brush the tortoise's back and abdomen, and then rinse it with water, paying attention to the toothbrush to be soft hairs, so as not to hurt the tortoise.

    2. Activated carbon can be put in the turtle house, activated carbon has a good effect of removing odor, if it is a larger piece of activated carbon, it can be tied together with the decorative stone and sunk to the bottom of the pool, so that the activated carbon can be increased to adsorb the odorous substances in the pool.

    3. Regularly change the water for disinfection, the residue of the bait and the respiration of the turtle when feeding the bait will make the water turbid and cause the turtle to stink, so it is necessary to change the water regularly, and disinfection can be carried out when changing the water.

    4. If the tortoise has rotting nail disease and emits a foul smell, the rot nail disease is due to the damage to the tortoise shell, resulting in the invasion of germs into the tortoise shell, causing the carapace to ulcerate and emit a rancid smell, you can first isolate the sick turtle, remove the carrion from the wound, scrub the wound with hydrogen peroxide, and then smear it with potassium permanganate crystal powder.

    Precautions for turtle farming.

    1. When breeding turtles, there should be a drying platform in the breeding pond, so that the turtles can climb up to the drying platform when they are drying their backs, so as to ensure that their backs are exposed to the time, so as to prevent the turtles from soaking in water for a long time and suffering from rotting nail rot.

    2. During the breeding process, the pool water needs to be replaced regularly to ensure that the turtle's living environment is clean and hygienic, so as to avoid a large number of bacteria without changing the water for a long time.

    3. When feeding the turtle, pay attention to not feeding rice, bread and other foods, so as to avoid indigestion of the turtle, and at the same time do not feed too much, so as not to pollute the water quality of the residual food in the water, resulting in the turtle disease, and the food residue needs to be cleaned up in time after daily feeding.

    Hello dear, the reasons for the heavy smell of turtles are: first, it may be because of the smell of the turtle itself, and the turtle can be cleaned regularly. Second, too much meat is fed to the turtle, and the turtle's excrement is too smelly.

    If so, you can change the water for the turtle in time. Third, it may be the tortoise's rot. It is necessary to treat the tortoise in time.

    The smell of the turtle is very strong. The first possibility is that the turtle itself has a foul smell, and if so, you can clean the turtle regularly. Secondly, because there is too much meat fed to the turtle, the excrement of the turtle is too smelly, if this is the case, then the turtle should be replaced frequently, and the water in the turtle tank can be raised.

    That's it...In addition, it may be the rot of the tortoise. After the turtle suffers from nail rot, the carapace on its body rots and has a peculiar smell.

    At this time, the tortoise should be treated in time. If you want to raise turtles, don't let them soak in water every day, but you still need to put them in the water for half an hour every day. However, it is not enough for the turtle to be dried and raised, and the turtle must be disinfected with hydrogen peroxide first, and then the wound should be smeared with anti-inflammatory drugs.

    The turtle also needs to be fed anti-inflammatory drugs. I wish you a happy life and I hope you can give a thumbs up thank you!

    The tortoise stinks if it is not caused by the fact that you have not changed the water for a long time. That's probably because of nail rot. Many turtles have this phenomenon.

    **There will be some improvements after that. The reason for this is that the tortoise's shell is damaged or crushed, allowing germs to invade the tortoise shell and cause the carapace to ulcerate, and many tortoises initially have white spots on their dorsal or ventral carapaces. Slowly forming red spots, squeezing hard enough to make blood flow out, and have a rancid smell.

    In severe cases, the surface of the carapace will fester. Bulging armpits and hips. Sick turtles stop eating and move less, and there is a phenomenon of head shrinkage.

    **It is to remove the rotten parts of the sick turtle, scrub the affected area with hydrogen peroxide, and apply the affected area with anti-inflammatory powder. You can apply some chlortetracycline.

    Some turtle friends dislike turtles that they are very dirty, and the water starts to stink after a while, especially in this hot season. At first glance, it turned out that the environment was small, the water level was shallow, and the turtle was quite large. Aren't you saying it's getting dirty all of a sudden?

    Turtles have other excretory and metabolic activities in the water in addition to pooping, and it is estimated that the amount of water collected is not enough for even a mineral water bottle. It's not for the sake of pursuing the back, with such a small amount of water, it's difficult for you to think that the water is not dirty.

    In the summer, food scraps and turtle excrement after feeding are more likely to make water bodies that exceed the pollution load more likely to smell. There is no doubt about this, so if the water body smells fast due to this reason, it is not the turtle to blame, but the owner.

    There is also a reason why the water is easy to stink, which is also very difficult to cry and laugh. That's a kind of "cleanliness" of the owner himself, and he has to feel that the water is clean and transparent, and he can't tolerate a little particulate matter or turtle feces in his eyes. In fact, the turtle's metabolism and a small amount of excretion will not change the quality of the water body too much, at most the transparency is poor.

    How can this be endured, it has to be changed! Increasing the frequency of frequent water changes violates our taboo of changing water, which is good. If you want me to say, you have to accept the fact that if you still maintain your psychological "comfort", then you have to take the risk yourself.

    If your water body is large enough and the environment is not crowded, even in a fast-excreting season like summer, you can still change the water once a day, and you don't need to change it all at a time. That's probably the minimum amount of water you need. In this case, it is unlikely that the water body will be prone to odor.

    Of course, the water body is easy to smell and when feeding live food, after the live food is torn by the turtle, some minced meat and blood body fluids will enter the water body, changing the solute of the water body, and expanding the specific surface area, which will also cause it to deteriorate quickly. After feeding live food, you can remove the residue and oil film in time or change a little water to solve the problem.

    There are also many friends who change the water once every few days, or only add water but do not change the water, is it that their turtles are not dirty? Obviously not, how can this problem be blamed on turtles, although the amount of turtle food and excretion of different species are different, but in the end, this environmental problem is still our own arrangement.

    Sand turtles stink in the water because the sand turtle itself metabolizes, eats, and excretes in the water.

    If the water is not changed often, the water will stink for a day or so.

    Therefore, we must clean up the food residue in time after feeding. If there is excrement, it should be cleaned up immediately.

    Change the water often so that it doesn't stink so easily.

    First of all, don't think that if you keep a turtle in a well-lit enclosed space such as a balcony, the turtle will not be deficient in calcium. Don't assume that you won't get such a disease if you are fed calcium-supplemented foods under such conditions. UVA UVC in ultraviolet rays can be penetrated into your turtle house.

    The UVB, which is the most important for reptiles, disappeared under the barrier of glass.

    Fast-growing baby turtles are usually affected. Maps of the Americas, turtles, and other painted turtles are more likely to cause the disease. Long-term breeding in such an environment generally 1-2 months will appear as a small turtle soft carapace.

    Sick baby turtles have a decreased appetite. In the early days, baby turtles will show signs of floating and snoozing. It is not easy to detect and judge that it is soft armor.

    At this time, the appetite of the baby turtle decreases. 2-3 days after getting sick, the baby turtle still has a bad appetite. It will not seem as good as before.

    It's basically the same as at the time of onset. After 3-4 days, the carapace softens markedly, usually on the posterior edge of the dorsal carapace. The limbs of baby turtles can also be weak.

    It feels like it's soft. It will continue to deteriorate after the 4th. The entire tortoise shell will gradually soften.

    Eventually, the whole baby will gradually shrink and refuse to eat ......All the signs of weakness manifest themselves.

    Molluscular nail disease usually occurs when it warms up in winter. Because of the cold outside, many people keep turtles warm in places like living rooms and balconies. The living room was poorly lit.

    The glass of the enclosed balcony blocks the UVB. As a result, leptonychoenism often flares up. If you want the baby turtle to be healthy, it is important to prevent this disease.

    1. It is best to use UVB lamps for irradiation for heating friends. Turtle selection. The irradiation distance is about 30 cm.

    Irradiation for 4-6 hours a day is appropriate. 2. Pay attention to the diversity of food intake. You can feed live fish and live shrimp, as well as dried shrimp.

    In this way, a good body color can be raised, and the bones in the bait can also provide a considerable amount of calcium to the baby turtles. 3. The baby turtle after the soft armor is found needs to be raised at a lower water level. It is possible to feed shrimp meat, etc.

    I found that the little guy with this disease began to eat only shrimp and not touch fish) 4. The drug can choose vitamin AD (cod liver oil) to help calcium conversion. Calcium lactate can be used to supplement calcium. (Actually, cartilage is not terrible!)

    Also, turtles don't get soft nails in a few days, and they don't get better in a few days, so please be patient.

    It may be that your turtle is sick due to water quality problems, and the water quality where the turtle is located should be paid more attention, if the water is not changed for a long time, the turtle is easy to get sick.

    Will your turtle's eye break open, if you can't break away, it may be that you have white eye disease, or it may be that the turtle's ** has festered in some places. But these diseases are caused by water quality. Therefore, pay more attention to the problem of water quality.

    Now to tell you a cure you can try, that is, wash the turtle's body, including the shell, that is, the kind that washes it with your hands. Then wash the turtle's tank as well, wash it and wash it again with iodine wine and water, and then put a little iodine wine in the tank (a little bit is OK) and then put a little water (the water is red after mixing, the amount of water can not overflow the turtle's head, just soak the turtle and the body). Then put the turtle in it, soak for a few days and hours, then change the clean water, the amount of clean water should not be much, and it is best to have a stone in the water that the turtle can climb up to bask in the sun.

    Soak the turtle a few times like this, and it should be fine.

    Good luck !!
