The shells of my two baby turtles have faded, what should I do? 30

Turtles are one of the few semi-aquatic and semi-terrestrial reptiles that can also be seen in our daily lives.

So it's especially loved by children around us. Whenever they see baby turtles hanging at the school gate, they always can't help but want to take them home and raise them, but in the process of raising them, we will find a problem, that is, what happens to the lighter color of the turtle shell?

Clause. 1. Eating food can cause the color of the turtle's shell to become lighter;

Clause. Second, the temperature of sunlight and water will cause;

Clause. 3. The turtle's instinctive reaction.

So based on the above points, we can know that the lightening of the color of the turtle's shell is a natural reaction and has nothing to do with the tortoise's physical health.

First of all, we need to observe whether the turtle's food contains a lot of hormones, which causes the turtle to have adverse reactions after eating.

Secondly, it is the turtle's daily lack of sunlight exposure, and the water temperature of the fish tank makes the turtle soak in the water for a long time and changes the color of the turtle's shell.

Finally, in order to adapt to the new living environment, the turtle changed the color of its shell to take care of the new environment.

If the small colored turtle fades, it must be a good thing, but if it is an ordinary turtle shell discoloration, then, if it is caused by the disease, it is recommended to treat it, or put some longan leaves in Guigang, as another way to clean up the water quality according to a law to go to Ang He can be.

There is no bleach in the water in the countryside, but if the water quality is clean, you can directly add a water to the height of the index knuckle to raise 5 to 6 cm turtles, no matter which size of the turtle? Basically, the water passes over the turtle's back, a little bit or so is enough, unless it is a deep-water turtle.

The second is feeding, feeding twice a day in summer, after September, if you find that the turtle does not eat much food, and the turtle still has that sticky turtle food, turned into water, then only feed a small amount once a day.

In summer, it is recommended to feed the turtle around 8 o'clock in the morning, eat turtle food, and a turtle food the size of half a head of the turtle is enough.

In autumn, it is recommended to feed at noon to prevent feeding too early or too late.

When you are about to board the plane, you still feed it once a day, feed a little more, let it store more energy, try not to feed it in winter, and occasionally feed it once in a small amount, sometimes it is not necessarily the temperature and the situation of the turtle.

At the beginning of spring, the turtle does not need too many calories, and the normal amount of feeding is a little less.

Turtle change water, it is recommended to put it in the sand in winter, try to make the pure sand cover with some hay, as a place for turtles to hibernate, occasionally you can water a small amount appropriately, remember to be a small amount, if you will not use a watering can to spray it directly.

Under normal circumstances, change the water every day or 1 to 2 days in summer, and if the excretion of the turtle is not large, try to change the water for 2 to 3 days in spring and autumn.

The two little turtles I raised have faded in color, and I should bask in the sun every day to let the color of the shell gradually improve.

Caused by malnutrition and lack of sunlight, it is manifested by yellowing of the shell, loss of appetite, general weakness, malaise, sluggishness, and slow growth.

**Method: Feed with full price feed with good palatability and rich nutrition, and add calcium tablets to the feed; Enhance the number of sunshine hours, and expose the sun to sunlight 2 to 3 times a day.

Becoming soft is a lack of calcium, soft shell disease, serious will die, I don't know what you usually feed it to eat, feed and bloodworms don't eat, it's best to eat some small shrimp, loach these calcium-containing things, raw meat can't be eaten, now you have to pay attention to calcium supplementation.

Normal state. In general, when the turtle is in a healthy and normal state, when it molts, it will automatically fall off one by one, like a fingernail, and it is hard and hard.

There are two sequences:

1.First, the dorsal armor retreats first, and then the abdominal armor.

2.First the ventral armor, then the dorsal armor.

When the turtle molts.

It will not be complete and continuous after retreating, as is the case with other animals, but will be scattered.

Abnormal state.

Friends raise Huang Yuan, and many people who raise Huang Yuan know that Huang Yuan generally does not shed its shell.

But the friend's yellow edge was upturned.

The symptoms are: the edge of the nail can be lifted with fingernails. But inside is a new very tender shell, which does not smell or soft.

This made him very worried about the turtle.

Settle. Generally, water turtles are more common. It may be caused by the environment being too dry, don't worry too much, there is no problem, you can wait until he falls off by himself, apply some vitamin E, once a day in the morning and evening.

Tortoises, if they are half water, they can be made of moss, coconut clay, and mountain mud as bedding to ensure sufficient humidity.
