What is the best thing to feed the stone turtle?

The most convenient thing is to give turtle food, just feed it directly. However, it is possible to eat a single nutrition for a long time, and give meat, fish and shrimp, and animal offal when necessary. It's okay to give fruits such as grapes and apples once in a while.

For example, fish and shrimp, tadpoles, shellfish, earthworms, etc.; There are also stems, leaves, and seeds of aquatic plants that can also be used as food for the golden turtle.

The feeding habits of the stone turtle are relatively mixed, and the natural environment in the wild is mainly fish, shrimp, shellfish, snails, aquatic plants and other foods.

In captivity, fish are generally fed with fish, shrimp, meat or poultry offal.

The feed of the stone turtle is rich in ridges, so it can be planted with banana trees and other green plants around the turtle pond according to local conditions, which can be used as plant feed for the turtle and can be used as plant feed; Where conditions permit, Fushou snails can be bred, and snail meat is one of the meat feeds that turtles like to eat.

When the turtle is raised near the slaughterhouse, the turtle can be fed with offal and other scraps. If the turtle is fed with compound feed, the raw materials and the equipment and production technology required for processing should be fully prepared.

In summer, the temperature is high, and the stone turtle is fed once every 2 days to ensure that the food is sufficient, which can effectively increase its reproductive rate. In autumn, the temperature drops sharply for 2 to 3 days, and the nutritious food is fed to allow the stone turtle to reserve energy for hibernation. The stone turtle is an omnivorous animal, and it needs to be fed with meat and vegetables.

In summer, the temperature is high, and the stone turtle has a strong appetite due to frequent activity, so it can be fed once a day for 1 or 2 days, and the feeding time can be selected in the evening every day. Giving it an adequate food supply in summer can meet the nutritional needs of the stone turtle, which greatly improves its egg production and fertilization rate.

In autumn, the temperature gradually decreases, the frequency of activity of the stone turtle decreases, and before hibernation it will eat less to maintain its normal hibernation, this season can feed relatively less, 2 3 days to feed once, as much as possible to feed nutritious food, so that it can enhance physical fitness, trembling baby reserves can cover the amount of winter eggplant sleep.

Stone turtle like to climb to the ground to bask in the sun during the day, come out at night to forage and carry out activities, the most suitable temperature for growth is 18 degrees -32 degrees, too high or too low will cause it to have a physical discomfort reaction, the turtle is an omnivorous animal, like to eat insects, loaches, snails, small shrimp, small fish, wheat, rice, fresh grass and other food. Feeding the stone turtle requires a combination of meat and vegetables.

Of course, the feeding habits of the stone turtle are similar to that of the grass turtle, and the stone turtle belongs to the water turtle class and is not as drought tolerant as the tortoise. Although they also need sunlight, because the ultraviolet rays in sunlight help to synthesize D and the absorption of calcium by bones, as well as bacteria. In addition, sunlight can also raise the body temperature of turtles, promote metabolism, and help in the digestion of food.

But just because you need sunlight doesn't mean you can get it. Some people thought it was time to give the tortoises sunshine, so they basked them in the sun. In fact, the method is to raise turtles in a place where there is shade and a place where the sun can directly reach it, so that the turtle can choose freely.

Whether you need sunlight or not, in fact, the turtle will instinctively look for it, without human intervention.

Do not overfeed food.

When feeding the stone turtles, some of them didn't seem to have enough to eat. That's because these turtles still retain their primitive instinct, that is, they don't have food all the time when they survive in the wild, so their instinct is to devour food desperately if they see it. However, in the long run, this will inevitably harm the turtle's digestive system.

So please don't overfeed and if possible, eat smaller, more frequent meals is a good option.

Don't change the water too often.

Although the water can be cleaned by changing the water too frequently, it can cause frightening or disturbance to the turtle due to frequent water changes. In addition, most of the current breeding sites use tap water, so various chemicals in the tap water will also cause turtles. This is especially noteworthy for the breeding of stone turtle seedlings.

Don't choose a turtle pond that is too transparent.

Many people may not breed many stone turtles, so they choose glass tanks to raise stone turtles. In fact, glass jars are not a good choice, although they are easy to observe, it is difficult to make the stone turtle understand that glass is a transparent substance. Therefore, it is easy for the stone turtle in the glass tank to rub around on the tank.

It is still necessary to give the turtle a place to live, and the instinct of the animal is to think that it is safe if it does not see them.

<> stone turtle eats fish, shrimp, shellfish, snails, aquatic plants and other foods. The turtle's scientific name is the yellow-throated water turtle, which prefers to be active in the water during the day, and sometimes crawls onto land to bask in the sun. It has a more mixed diet and can eat a lot of things, as a water turtle, it is best to feed the food in the water so that it can easily tear and swallow.

If you want to hibernate, you need to prepare sand or coconut soil, and you can also soak in shallow water for hibernation.

1. Nutrients

The stone turtle is a very nutritious delicacy, rich in various nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. Among them, the protein content is usually high, which can help enhance the body's immunity and muscle strength, and is very good for children and infirm people.

Therefore, for those who want to consume high protein, the best way to eat the stone turtle is in the form of a stew. When stewing, you can add some nourishing Chinese medicine or vegetables, such as wolfberry, ginseng, potatoes, etc., which can not only improve the nutritional value of the soup, but also increase the taste of eating.

2. Cooking method

There are many ways to cook the turtle, such as roasting, stewing, boiling, stir-frying, stir-frying, etc., but each method has a slight difference in the way the ingredients are handled.

If you choose to roast, you can use some spices and condiments, such as ginger, garlic, cumin powder, salt, etc., put on the surface of the turtle meat, and then put it in the oven for 10-15 minutes. The roasted turtle meat has a fatty and mellow taste.

If you choose to stew, it is recommended to use a stew cup or pressure cooker for cooking, add some spices and side dishes and simmer slowly for a few hours, so that the turtle meat stew will have a soft and smooth texture, and the soup will be richer and more delicious.

3. Applicable population

Although the stone turtle is delicious and rich in nutrients, it is not suitable for all people.

For pregnant women and children, it is necessary to eat or avoid it with caution due to the high amount of cholesterol and heavy metals, which can easily cause health effects.

If you want to eat the stone turtle, it is recommended to choose a formal place, choose fresh and healthy turtle meat, and pay attention to the amount of food, not excessive, so as not to cause adverse effects on the body.

4. Other precautions

There are a few other details to be aware of when eating a stone turtle.

First of all, the turtle meat needs to be boiled once and then cleaned with water to remove the sand and rocks in the turtle meat.

Secondly, the stone turtle is not a delicacy that everyone can accept, for those who have not been exposed to it, it is best to start with a small amount of trying, and if you find any discomfort or allergies, you need to seek medical attention in time.

Finally, it is recommended to choose a turtle farm to buy fresh stone turtles directly, and strict requirements should be imposed on all aspects of cleaning, processing, and cooking to ensure their hygiene and safety to ensure the quality of food.

Animal feed: The favorite animal feed of the stone turtle is animal feed, and the common animal feed is small fish, small shrimp, bloodworms, earthworms, lean meat, animal offal, etc. Plant-based feeds:

Although they are not very interested in plant-based feeds, they need to be fed regularly to ensure a balanced nutrition. Plant-based feeds suitable for them include greens, fruits, algae, etc. Synthetic feed:

The nutrition of synthetic feed is comprehensive, and it is also more suitable to feed stone turtles. <

In short, it can be divided into three categories, namely animal feed, plant feed and synthetic feed.

1. Animal feed: The stone turtle prefers animal feed, which contains more protein and fat, and is suitable for feeding the young stone turtle. Common animal feeds include small fish, small shrimp, bloodworms, lean meat, animal offal, etc.

2. Plant-based feed: Stone turtles are not interested in plant-based feed, but in order to ensure balanced nutrition, breeders still have to feed them regularly. Plant-based feeds suitable for them include cabbage, rape, apples, bananas, algae, etc.

3. Synthetic feed: The nutrition of this feed is relatively comprehensive, and it can replace the staple food for a short time, but it is not easy to digest, and the breeder needs to pay attention to the amount of feeding.

The frequency of feeding is also different at different stages, and in the juvenile stage, the keeper can feed them once a day, which can not only ensure that the food is sufficient, but also can avoid indigestion. When they reach adulthood, they can be fed once every 2-3 days, and the food they are fed can also be more plant-based. Because their nutrient requirements decrease as adults, breeders also need to reduce the amount of animal feed they are fed.

How long it takes for a stone turtle to die if it is not fed depends on the environment they are in. If they live at a relatively high temperature, then they may starve to death if they do not feed for more than 2 weeks. If they live at a lower temperature, they will last longer, but if they are not fed for 3-4 weeks, they may die.

If they hibernate, they will last longer, probably for several months without eating. <

How long will the stone turtle die if it is not fed, depending on the water temperature in which they live. Generally speaking, from May to November, the growth rate of stone turtles is the fastest, and if the water temperature is relatively high, then they can only last for about 2 weeks without eating. Because the water temperature is higher than that of the mountain brothers, their metabolism and activity are relatively high, so the time for them to hold on to the dust will be shorter.

If the water temperature is low, their appetite and activity will be reduced, and they can last longer, but if they do not feed for more than 3-4 weeks, they can also starve to death.

Stone turtles have a habit of hibernation, and if they go into hibernation, they can persist for several months without eating. Because when they go into hibernation, they stop being active and their metabolism is minimized.

Turtles are omnivorous animals, and keepers can feed them with animal feed and plant feed to ensure that their nutrition is balanced. The animal feed suitable for stone turtles includes small fish, small shrimp, bloodworms, loaches, snails, tadpoles, etc. The plant-based feeds suitable for stone turtles include green leafy vegetables, fruits, algae, aquatic plants, etc.

If the keeper does not have enough time, he can also choose some synthetic feed to feed them. Although synthetic feed is nutritionally comprehensive, it cannot fully meet the nutrients required for their growth and development, and the breeder still needs to match some animal feed.
