How to raise pet turtles?
1, turtle selection: first, observe whether there is breathing or runny nose in the mouth all the time, and at the same time, check whether there are wounds, shell defects, turtle claws, etc. After buying a house, we should first observe it in isolation. In addition to adapting to the new environment, we should also pay attention to whether there are signs of disease.
2, fish tank selection
① Fish tank size: Avoid buying a fish tank that is too small to raise a turtle. The size of the fish tank is more than five times larger than that of the little turtle. At the same time, don't let the turtle soak in the water all the time, just put the water in half of its body.
(2) Fish tank layout: Put some sand or stones in the fish tank for raising soft-shelled turtles, which will help dry and ventilate the back and prevent soft-shelled turtles from rotting their nails. The water should be changed once a week.
3. Lighting control: put the turtle in a place where it can get the sun, but avoid exposure, and have a cool place and a pool or basin for rest and play. Moreover, the little turtle has a large amount of exercise, and proper exercise is beneficial to bone development.
4. Feed selection: Turtles are omnivorous animals, which feed on eat small fish, shrimp, snails, mussels, earthworms, maggots, livestock leftovers, and eat plant feeds such as tubers, vegetables, grains and aquatic plants.
5. Feeding food: Generally, the turtle is fed 65,438+0 times in three days, and the feeding amount can be increased or decreased according to the size of the turtle, which is generally 5-65,438+00% of its weight. It can be appropriately increased in spring and autumn when the temperature is moderate, and it can be more than usual before winter comes.
① Timing: The temperature is low in spring and autumn, so it should be fed at 8-9 am. The feeding season is from Grain Rain to the autumnal equinox, but in summer, it is appropriate to feed in the afternoon 16 ~ 17. Timing can make turtles eat on time and get more nutrition.
(2) Positioning: Set fixed feeding points along the edge of the pond in sections, and the feeding platform of the feeding point should be close to the water surface, which is convenient for the turtle to swallow water and bite. Positioning feeding can make turtles develop habits, facilitate the search for food, and facilitate the observation of turtles.
③ Qualitative judgment: the feed should be kept fresh, and the leftover food should be removed in time after feeding to prevent the feed from rotting and stinking, affecting the appetite of turtles and polluting the water quality.
