How to prevent tortoise from getting saprolegnia
The tortoise saprolegnia should be prevented Mainly, the focus of prevention is to prevent the occurrence of trauma to the tortoise. According to research, the most effective treatment drugs and methods are only effective in the early stage of tortoise suffering from saprolegnia, and the effect is not absolute. Therefore, it is very important to prevent this disease in advance to the turtle. Since water mold is widespread in water, we cannot prevent water mold from being present in water. However, since the water mold is saprophytic, as long as the tortoise is prevented from being injured, it will not have the chance to infect the tortoise.
Therefore, water mold is inevitable, and the focus of prevention of tortoise saprolegnia is to prevent tortoise injury.
So, how to prevent turtles from getting hurt?
Generally, there are the following situations that lead to turtle injuries:
1. The edges and corners of the drying platform and stepping stone are relatively sharp, which will cause the turtle to be injured during the crawling process or due to collision. Therefore, pet owners need to ensure that the drying platform and stepping stone are smooth and will not cause damage to the turtle.
2. When mixing turtles, the turtles are prone to fight and bite each other and get hurt. In addition, the pet owner also needs to prevent the turtle from falling from the prison or being bitten by other pets in the home, all of which need to be prevented.
