The correct way to breed turtles
1. First , the premise is to choose healthy turtles for breeding. How to tell if a turtle is healthy? It can be judged from whether the tortoise has the following symptoms: such as open breathing, runny nose, physical trauma, carapace defect, lack of vitality in the water, weakness of limbs, etc. If the tortoise has the above symptoms, it means that the tortoise is not very healthy. Best not to buy. In addition, after the pet owner has selected the turtle and brought it home, he should also keep an eye on the turtle and observe whether it has any signs of disease.
2, and then the turtle’s diet. Young turtles need to eat a lot of calcium to ensure that their shells have enough nutrition, so when feeding turtles, pet owners need to ensure that their diets contain enough calcium. Among them, fish, fish fillets, dried shrimps and other foods are rich in calcium and protein. However, it is not enough to feed only these foods, which cannot meet all the nutrients the turtle’s body needs, so it is necessary to add foods containing other nutrients, such as poultry offal, corn, pumpkin or other fruits and vegetables to help the turtle. Supplement other nutrients. If you cannot master the ration of various nutrients, it is recommended to use compound feed specially formulated for turtles. Note that feeding tortoises does not have to be done every day, but every 3 days.
3, the second is to ensure that the turtle’s breeding environment is suitable. The tortoise feels that the suitable temperature is around 25°C, so usually pay attention to keeping the water temperature in the water area where the tortoise is located, and pay attention to maintaining a constant temperature, not hot and cold. In addition, pay attention to changing the water for the turtle regularly, and the new water that has just been changed cannot be just tap water. The tap water should be placed in the sun for a period of time, because the tap water may contain disinfectants. This ingredient May cause damage to the turtle’s body. Therefore, the pet owner usually needs to put an appropriate amount of tap water in the sun before changing the water for the tortoise, so that the water can be changed for the tortoise in time. At the same time, pet owners must pay attention to changing the water for the tortoise regularly, and change the water for the tortoise frequently, because the water quality in the container will become bad and smelly after a period of time, which is very detrimental to the growth and development of the tortoise, so it is best to change the water every 2~3 Change the water once a day.
4. Finally, pay attention to let the turtle receive sunlight. Turtles are also inseparable from sunlight in the process of growth and development. Sufficient sunlight helps them grow faster. It can be said that sunlight is also an essential element for the healthy growth of turtles. In addition, turtles also have some common diseases, such as parasitic diseases and pneumonia diseases. Usually, pets should pay more attention to the physical condition of the tortoise. Once the tortoise is found to be abnormal, it should be treated in time.
Warm reminder: I believe that many people choose to keep pets in order to increase the fun of life. But every pet has its precious life. Since you choose to keep a pet, you must be responsible for it to the end, be a qualified owner, and let the pet live its life healthily and happily.
