I. The method of dry raising turtles
Method 1: Remove the sick turtles from the water Fished out from the inside and used the well-equipped tortoise box to raise the sick tortoise directly.
Method 2: Use the box-type heating method to raise sick turtles. First prepare two boxes of different sizes, put the small box in the large box, and use a heating rod to heat the water in the large box. If the water temperature is not enough, you can install a heating lamp above the box or install a A heating pad is placed around the lid, so the outer box must be made of thermal insulation material. Then keep the small box floating in the heated large box, and place the sick turtle in the small box to raise.
Method 3: Prepare a heat-resistant box, heating pad, heating pad cloth cover, box insulation cover and other items, use a heating pad to warm the breeding box, or use a heating pad on the side or inside of the box, Then put a cloth cover on it and keep the turtle in the container.
Note: During the dry raising of the sick turtle, it is necessary to take out the sick turtle from time to time and soak it in water, which can be soaked in water twice a day. Note that the temperature of the water in the bath container should be the same as the temperature of the environment, and the sick turtles should be caught regularly for bathing and feeding. In addition, if the temperature of the indoor environment is low, a 25W, 40W or 100W heating lamp can be placed on the container for heating. After bathing the sick turtle, it is necessary to check its body dry in time, and then put it back into the heating box. In short, if the temperature of the indoor environment is too low, be sure to warm the indoor environment before giving the sick turtle a bath.
Second, precautions for dry-raising turtles
Although tortoises can be dry-raised However, the tortoise should not be kept dry for too long, otherwise the tortoise will be dehydrated, or the edge shell will be upturned, rickets and so on. If the turtle has rickets, you can add an appropriate amount of shrimp shell powder, cuttlefish bone, calcium powder, vitamin D and complex vitamins to the turtle’s feed for feeding, and at the same time increase the time the sick turtle is exposed to natural light, or you can also use sunlight. It was irradiated, and 10% calcium gluconate was injected intramuscularly into the sick turtle with severe rickets.
Reminder: During the dry raising of the tortoise, pay attention to soaking it in water regularly to avoid dehydration of the tortoise. In addition, pay attention to avoid long-term dry-raising tortoises, because the tortoises will crawl around and feel restless during the dry-raising process, which easily consumes the tortoise’s physical energy and is also unfavorable for the treatment of diseased tortoises. I hope that all pet owners can learn more about dry-raising turtles, so as to give them the best care when they are sick and help them recover as soon as possible.
