I. Wrong operation of dry-raising turtles
Dry-raising turtles are mostly for As far as water turtles are concerned, dry-raising water turtles is also conditional, and it is not necessary to leave the water turtle dry and ignore it. For water turtles, it is not acceptable to not provide water for a long time, otherwise it will lead to dehydration and death of water turtles. Especially highly aquatic turtles such as pig-nosed turtles, which can become life-threatening after a few hours out of the water.
Drinking water is very necessary for water turtles, turtles are very hungry, but not thirsty. Strictly speaking, a terrapin will have no problem starving for a few weeks in the presence of water, but if it is left out of water for a few weeks, it will be a mummified corpse. Therefore, even if the turtle is hibernating, the sand and coconut soil in its environment must be kept moist and cannot be completely anhydrous.
Second, the correct way to dry terrapins
correct dry The way to raise fruit is:
1. Let the water turtle leave the original water environment and put it in a dry container to raise it, but pay attention to bathing it 1~3 times a day to prevent water Turtles are dehydrated. Dry feeding is mostly used for tortoises with rotten skin, rotten shells, eye infections, skin trauma, etc., in order to inhibit the rapid reproduction of bacteria on the wounds of the sick turtles, so as to better heal the sick turtles.
2. During the dry curing period, be careful not to let the sick tortoise bask in the sun for too long, so as to cause its dehydration. And pay attention to let the sick turtle take a bath 1-2 times a day, and feed and hydrate the sick turtle at the same time.
3. If the turtle needs to be dry-raised in the low temperature season, it is necessary to pay attention to the heating of the turtle’s breeding environment. For example, heating measures can be taken by heating the tank. The heating method of the jacketed tank refers to placing the small tank inside the large tank, and then heating the water heating rod in the large tank to a suitable temperature, so that the inside of the small tank can be heated by the surrounding hot water. However, pay attention to cover the top of the large cylinder and then keep warm, leaving a little gap, otherwise the temperature difference will easily occur. If there is a complete set of tortoise box feeding equipment, it is even better, and the sick tortoise can be directly raised in it.
I believe that after reading our sharing, you will have a certain understanding of the dry breeding of turtles. Dry rearing is only a way to assist in the treatment of sick turtles. If the turtles are healthy, they do not need to be dry reared.
