The most suitable environment for turtle breeding is the zone with half water and half shore. Therefore, it is best to choose a place with some beaches or low banks around or beside the pond to make it have a comfortable habitat, which is conducive to its robust growth. Although containers such as pots and pans can be used for family rearing, it is more suitable for its growth if a pool with half water and half shore can be dug in the courtyard.
Turtles eat a wide range of food, but the main food is animal food, such as small fish, shrimp, fish, earthworms and various aquatic animals. Plant feed, such as rice, noodles, soaked grains, chestnuts, bran powder, vegetable leaves, fruit granules, etc., can also be appropriately fed. It is best to mix some tablets containing calcium and various vitamins into plant feed to make them grow better.
Feeding food can generally be 3 days 1 time, and the feeding amount can be increased or decreased according to the size of the turtle, which is generally 5%~ 10% of its weight, and can be appropriately increased when the temperature is moderate in spring and autumn and the appetite is strong. In addition, before the arrival of winter, we should feed more than usual to hibernate and prepare enough nutrition.
Feed fresh food, especially when the temperature is high in summer. Animal feed is easy to deteriorate due to heat, so it should not be eaten overnight, nor should it be frozen in cold winter to prevent diseases such as indigestion.
If extra food is found after feeding, it should be removed in time to avoid polluting the water quality and living environment, especially in summer.
The water for raising turtles should not be too much and too deep, generally only 2~3 cm, which is equal to the turtle's back. Whether to change the water depends on the cleanliness of the water quality during feeding. In general, when the water quality is polluted or turbid, it should be changed. Change water more in summer and less in winter, especially when hibernating, the water temperature of fresh water is slightly 2~2℃ higher than usual. When the temperature drops in autumn, the well-kept tanks and pots should be placed in a warm place that is sheltered from the wind and sunny. For the weak turtle, it should be heated to about 20℃ when the water temperature is cold and kept. For heating mode, 100~ 150 watt incandescent lamp can be used for heating.
When the tortoise hibernates, don't let it be completely immersed in water, but put it in wet sand and give it an environment of about 15℃ (not too high). In April of the following year, feed food when the temperature rises to 20℃.
What size minibus is it? It is recommended that the abdominal nail be less than 4cm.
If you don't eat turtle food, it is recommended to feed some shrimp or blood worms and start eating ~ ~ Hold the shrimp with tweezers and shake it left and right in front of its nose.
Submerged crustaceans.
Brazil is a water turtle and needs to be put into the water. I change the water every day and add some "turtle protection treasure" by the way.
At present, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and turtle seedlings are easy to rot. You can consider heating at night (the electric heating rod depends on the size of your water tank, and a thermometer is needed to control the temperature. The suitable temperature in Brazil is 22-26). You can bask in the sun if it is sunny during the day, but remember to shade it properly, or you will die.
If the carapace is larger than 6cm, you can consider natural hibernation.
I haven't been able to eat since I slept in winter. It doesn't matter. I'll start eating when the weather is warm in a few days.
Change the water frequently, and you'd better feed it with fresh food, otherwise it won't eat and doesn't like activities very much. That's my family.
The tortoise is going to hibernate. Of course, it won't eat. Turtles don't eat or drink when they hibernate.
This is what turtles should pay attention to when they hibernate:
When the temperature drops below 13℃, the tortoise begins to hibernate. During the whole wintering period, the head, tail and limbs all shrink into the shell, close your eyes, and don't eat, move or excrete until you get rid of the sting. If the environment does not adapt, it is difficult to enter a dormant state. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1- 10℃. Above 10℃, it is easy to wake the turtle, which will consume physical strength and lead to the decline of the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during hibernation can also lead to the death of turtles. Temperatures below 0℃ will frostbite turtles and even freeze to death. Therefore, the possible temperature change factors must be considered when setting the hibernation place of turtles artificially.
Before hibernating, you should give the tortoise some fat. Starting from September, soft-shelled turtles should be fed twice a day for a month to store enough wintering fat. By June 5438+00, the tortoise stopped eating. Soak the soft-shelled turtle in lukewarm water, stimulate the soft-shelled turtle to defecate with warm water, clean the intestines, and discharge the residual feces in the body to avoid causing intestinal diseases for a long time. If the turtle stops eating for half a year, it will live on these fats. If the soft-shelled turtle is too thin or in poor eating condition, or too small, heat it for the winter, adjust the temperature to 28 degrees, and the soft-shelled turtle will eat normally.
The real hibernating method is to spread thick wet sand in the container and cover it with newspaper balls. The tortoise will sleep in the sand by itself and replenish water once a week to keep the sand and newspapers moist. Hibernation is a test for raising turtles at home. First of all, you should make sure that your baby is healthy and free from diseases. Tortoise with poor constitution must not hibernate. Little turtle suggests not to hibernate, winter is very sad! You can prepare some sand for the hibernating turtle, but if it can't climb in, don't bury it by force. Soft-shelled turtles that don't hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water and covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep them moist, which also has a certain heat preservation effect. Turtles who hibernate in the sand should make sure that the sand is clean and pollution-free. Keep the sand moist during the hibernation of turtles. The tortoise may wake up during hibernation, so make sure it doesn't climb where you can't find it after waking up. In addition, turtles who wake up from hibernation must not be fed.
