Turtles are divided into terrapins and tortoises. Turtles mainly live in rivers, lakes, ponds, reservoirs and other waters. A few species of terrapins do not come ashore except for breeding. The tortoises have always lived on land, but some species of tortoises should live in a humid environment, but the water in the living environment should not be too much.
2. The tortoise’s diet is extensive
The tortoise is an omnivorous animal and can eat both animal feed and plant feed, but the water turtle prefers meat, the tortoise prefers a vegetarian diet, and the pet Mainly pay attention to choosing the appropriate feed for it according to the type of turtle at home. Animal feeds suitable for turtles include small fish, shrimps, snails, mussels, worms, earthworms and animal offal; plant feeds can be plant stems and leaves, various fruits and vegetables, wheat bran, etc.
3. The tortoise’s variable temperature characteristics
The body temperature of the tortoise can change with the temperature of the outside world. Under normal circumstances, when the water temperature rises above 15℃, the turtle will end hibernation; when the water temperature reaches 18℃～20℃, it will start feeding; when the temperature is higher than 35℃, the turtle may suffer from heat stroke; when the temperature is lower than 10℃ , the tortoise goes into hibernation. In addition, the tortoise will generally dive into the mud at the bottom of the pool or hibernate in the loose soil of the straw. One week before the tortoise hibernates, the pet owner should pay attention to stop feeding the tortoise. Turtles hibernate their heads in their shells without eating.
4. Turtles like to live in groups and burrows
The tortoises have a mild temperament and like to live in groups. Sometimes they live in too many groups, causing their carapaces to be smooth and their limbs to fray, and they may not separate. Turtles are relatively easy to raise and have low rearing pressure.
