The breeding of yellow foreheads has always been difficult for many tortoise friends who like yellow foreheads and farmers who want to raise a large number of foreheads. However, under the condition of artificial feeding, Huang Ee has not really formed a stable breeding and breeding mode. The main reason is that the consumption is high and it cannot be supported. Therefore, what about breeding and breeding yellow E. Therefore, 99% of the yellow-fronted seedlings on the market are seedlings bred by wild turtles with eggs.
As for whether it is good to raise or not, there are different opinions. Some friends say that such seedlings are easy to raise, grow fast, interact well, and have strong disease resistance; The seedlings are difficult to raise, prone to calcium deficiency, and a large amount of calcium loss leads to death. Whether the wild seedlings with egg yolks are good or not is another story. If you want to breed and reproduce the yellow-fronted ones, you must first treat the symptoms and cure the root causes, that is, to adjust the yellow-fronted ones well. Keep it stably, so that the breeding of yellow-fronted will be further, and this species can be better and effectively conserved.
Simply put: the yellow forehead is divided into 3 subspecies
1. Black-bellied yellow-fronted. Relative to the yellow forehead of the other two subspecies. Black belly and yellow forehead are better to keep. At present, the number of artificial breeding is also the largest. Hardy. leathery. Easy to adjust.
2. Brinell’s yellow forehead. Compared to black belly. Brinell is more difficult to adjust. The main reason is. Relatively timid. Vigilance is high. afraid of cold.
3. The picture is yellow.
Having a general understanding of the subspecies of yellow-fronted, it is necessary to talk about the selection of yellow-fronted. Because many yellow foreheads are due to transportation. Or fetch water. filling. Or a variety of man-made conditions that cause turtles to cause problems. Again and again. It will lead to death, so keep the yellow forehead. Choosing a yellow forehead is an important first step before raising a yellow forehead.
Choose: The shell is heavy, hands, eyes, mouth, nose, and limbs are powerfully filled with food and water
1. Shell. Body surface, no extrusion or other new scars (new extrusion injuries or new scars. The infection caused by internal injury or trauma can lead to the death of the turtle)
2. Heavy hands (not enough weight and heavy hands. The physique is relatively not good enough, some will be so thin that only a shell is left, and the physique is not good. If you don’t come back for conditioning in time, you will become weak and die)
3. Turtle eyes will be dull, on the contrary, a healthy and disease-free turtle will have very powerful eyes)
4. Clean asshole (very dirty asshole, mainly because the turtle itself has enteritis. It leads to diarrhea, and the asshole is full of Diarrhea)
5. Clean mouth and nose (some individuals may have a cold or even pneumonia due to transportation, temperature and other reasons. A clean nose and a clean mouth can tell whether the forehead has a cold or not. Pneumonia)
6. It is better for individuals with strong limbs (the forehead and limbs with good physique will be very strong. It hurts to grasp, otherwise the forehead will be weak. The limbs will be weak and hang)
7. The amount of food filling. Most are filled with stone powder. Mainly to add weight. Can sell for a good price. There will be residues in the mouth of the turtle filled with stone powder. Some turtles have already begun to discharge, and a lot of problems can be seen in a clean butthole.
8. As for the amount of water. Will drain a lot. Or shake the turtle. The sound of water shaking in the body can be heard. (There will be a lot of water in the forehead)
Conditioning: soak in water. disinfect. Bubble medicine, injection. Conditioning and eating and food
1. Go home. Body surface disinfection. Check for external parasites
2. Rest for 1-3 hours. Wait for the turtle to adjust to the temperature. Shallow water. (The main reason is that the temperature will be high and low. It will cause colds and pneumonia)
3. Soak, antibiotics, feed Yunnan Baiyao or inject antibiotics (ceftazidime 1.0g) mixed with 5 ml of water for injection. , 2 ml per kg. once a day. 3 days a course of treatment. After one course of treatment, another course of treatment is given the next day. Normal individuals can take two courses of treatment. Special individual treatment. (The main prevention, internal infection, or internal injury, rotten nails.)
4. Conditioning and eating, first of all earthworms. The animal gut element is tomato. banana. (The amount should always be less, and the main thing is to tease. It is better to have less than too much. The main thing is to observe whether there is a desire to start eating. Once there is a desire to start eating, you can tease and eat. The main thing is conditioning and interaction. Feed the stool normally again)
5. Good interaction. good state. Plus the time given during the previous conditioning interaction. Yellow forehead will have a small amount of stool. Once normal bowel movements are observed. Food can be added in moderation. Feed once every 3-4 days. 1 catties of food: 0.05 food. Most of the causes of death of normal conditioning half-water turtles are enteritis. The cause of enteritis is roughly: food spoilage. Excessive food. cause indigestion. or a sudden drop in temperature. So the amount of food. . Better less than more.
6. %70 of the food is vegetarian. Feed less watery foods. Easy to loose.
Greens: Chinese cabbage. kale. water spinach. . . Wait.
Fruit melons: papaya. pumpkin. cucumber. sweet potato. . Etc.
Give the animal viscera in small amounts on a regular basis. It can be fed with mixed vitamin powder.
It takes your and my efforts to raise them well. I also hope that everyone can take good care of their foreheads. The forehead in the hand is delicious. Early hatchlings.
