My tortoise has laid eggs. How do you hatch baby turtles?

There are several ways to hatch turtle eggs:

Method 1: Artificially dig a sand pit in the sunny place of the turtle pond, fill it with yellow sand, put the turtle eggs into it, put it into a depth of about 1 cm, pay attention to the light, and the sand pit should have humidity, generally 5-6 days later can hatch out of the turtle baby.

Method 2: It is convenient to pile a lot of small sand piles in the turtle pond, so that the mother turtle will climb ashore at night, and the mother turtle will dig a pit to lay eggs, and the turtle eggs will hatch under natural conditions, and the time required is about 5-7 days.

First, you'll want to make sure you have at least two turtles.

Secondly, it must be one male and one female.

Finally, both turtles must be sexually mature (both are 4-6 years of age or older).

Then it is possible for the turtle eggs to hatch.

Only the mother turtle lays eggs, but she cannot hatch.

The key to incubation is sand and temperature.

It is best if you find that after the turtle has mated, put the female turtle in the wet sand, and she will lay eggs, and then put the female turtle back, but do not move the eggs, and wait 24 hours before you can observe the eggs.

The first thing to look for is whether it is a fertilized egg: the fertilized egg has a distinct white band or plaque on the outer shell. If so, it can be hatched.

The eggs are collected in a 25 cm high wooden box, drilled several small holes at the bottom of the box, and 15-20 cm of sand or moss are spread on the bottom.

Arrange the turtle eggs in the sand or moss, and then sprinkle about 2 cm thick fine sand or moss on the eggs, cover the sand with a wet towel, and keep the indoor humidity 25-35 degrees.

On sunny days when the air is dry, sprinkle water on the sand 1-2 times a day, and the air humidity is high, which can reduce the number of sprinkling.

There are two conditions for incubation: temperature and humidity.

The temperature is between 22 and 33 degrees Celsius, and most of the turtles that hatch below 27 degrees Celsius are males, and when they are about 31 degrees Celsius, most of them are females.

The humidity requirements are different according to the incubation material, the air humidity is about 80%, if the incubation material is sandy, it is about 12%, and if it is moss, it is about 30%.

The incubation time varies according to the temperature and humidity. Generally 60-80 days out of the shell.

You can use the method of simulating the wild environment to hatch the pure nucleus of the turtle egg feast, and the following are the specific steps:

Tools needed: turtle eggs, boxes, moist silt.

1. First of all, put the moist excavated sediment into the box, and make it soft by hand to simulate the incubation environment in the wild.

2. Put the turtle eggs on the mud and sand one by one.

3. After placing the turtle eggs, place them in a dark corner and wait for 2 weeks.

<>5. The next day, the first two turtles will also break out of their shells, and the turtle on the far right has already come out.

6. In the end, all the turtles broke out of their shells and all survived, and the effect was good.
