Question 2: What does the elephant turtle eat? Elephant turtles like juicy green cactus best, and can eat 10 kilograms every day. Because it usually stores a lot of food in its body, it won't starve to death without eating or drinking for a long time. Its life span is very long, it can live for 300 to 400 years. Although the elephant turtle lives on the island, it only drinks fresh water.
Question 3: How much food should the elephant turtle eat every day? Like turtles, they prefer fruits and vegetables.
Question 4: What does the elephant turtle eat fast? If you are a businessman, feed oxytocin. If you are self-reliant, don't always face up to the superficial problems, and think deeply about whether you know the eating habits of tortoises and whether the food is single.
Question 5: Do you know what elephants and turtles eat? Fruits and some vegetables, such as carrots, cucumbers and loofahs. Any melon will do.
Question 6: There are three principles for ordinary turtles to prepare food: 1. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus is 2. High fiber 3. Protein is low. Because turtles, especially young turtles, need a lot of calcium to grow their shells and bones. Their digestive tract is very long, and they need high fiber to improve gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive function. Long-term consumption of supermarket vegetables with low fiber content is more likely to lead to insufficient gastrointestinal peristalsis and degradation, which is easy to lead to refusal to eat and dehydration death. This is one of the main causes of turtle death. Animal foods, such as meat, cats, dogs, fish feed and beans, all contain a lot of protein. If it is given to tortoises frequently, it will accelerate their growth and metabolism, lead to overload operation of organs such as heart and kidney, and also cause back enlargement and stones, which will lead to death over time. According to the above three principles, we can find out the vegetables suitable for turtles as follows: staple food: spinach, amaranth, cucumber, sweet potato leaves, Chinese cabbage (dark green leaves or lateral buds), celery, rape, radish leaves, mustard greens and mushrooms.
Non-staple food: Qingjiang cabbage, cabbage, carrot, special feed for tortoises, etc.
Dessert: papaya, apples, tomatoes, bananas, strawberries, kiwis and other fruits. Because most green vegetables are low in fiber content, they must be supplied by grasses such as pasture, dandelion leaves or alfalfa. Nowadays, many people feed mulberry leaves or Bidens bipinnata with high fiber content. If you don't have time to pick weeds yourself, you can also buy alfalfa hay for rabbits, but you must pick off the hard stems and feed them only with leaves and Tyrannosaurus rex feed or vegetables. Of course, vitamins and calcium powder should be supplemented at least once a week. For omnivorous tortoises, such as tortoise with folded back, tortoise with red legs and tortoise with yellow legs, in addition to general plant food, the proportion of fruits must be increased, and occasionally animal protein, such as tortoise feed or meat slices, is of great help to health. Omnivorous turtles will have problems if they don't eat enough protein.
Feeding adult turtles every other day is usually enough. Young turtles can be fed every day, but the amount does not need to be too much, and the amount that can be eaten within 30 minutes is the principle. Turtles can go without eating or drinking for months, and their metabolism is minimized. This is the only way for them to spend the dry season. Don't eat too much before the rainy season comes. Therefore, it is normal for some turtles to have short-term anorexia. Therefore, we should grasp the principle of proper amount in raising turtles. Less is better than more. However, the types of vegetables need to be changed frequently to avoid anorexia or unbalanced nutrition.
Although most turtles live in arid areas and can endure long-term drought, it doesn't mean that they don't need water, but they can absorb water from food and exist in their bodies. If given the chance, they will drink water. In particular, the water transfer function of young turtles is not perfect, so a basin must be put in the breeding box to provide drinking water. In addition, it is necessary to bathe young turtles with warm water several times a week. It can help to excrete, keep the digestive tract unobstructed, and regulate the water in the body. The best case is once a day. Or once every other day, which is very important for young turtles. But remember not to blow in the water bath, especially in winter, to avoid respiratory tract infection. The water depth is slightly larger than the abdominal nail. If the water is too deep, it is easy to cause water to be accidentally inhaled into the lungs, which requires special care. Environmental turtles have low requirements for living environment, but they need high calcium, so they must pay special attention to light. The feeding box can be made of newspaper, red soil for birds, rabbit feed, red soil for gardening, alfalfa hay for rabbits or imported reptile sand. If you only have one or two children, it is convenient and economical to use newspapers. Basically, we should grasp the principle of drying.
Turtles need sunshine for a long time, especially in Africa, because ultraviolet rays are very important for the formation of vitamin D3, which can promote the absorption of calcium. Therefore, in the artificial environment, it is necessary to light the crawler tube for more than ten hours or directly bask in the sun, but it is necessary to provide a cool place to avoid dehydration caused by excessive exposure. Now the UVB bulb introduced in the United States integrates ultraviolet light and heating lamp, which is an ideal light source. But no matter what kind of light source is used, it can't replace sunlight, so it is essential to bask in the sun regularly.
Question 7: What water quality should we pay attention to when raising elephant turtles?
Although the Brazilian tortoise is the easiest and least picky aquarium animal to raise, it has one disadvantage: it excretes too quickly, and the temperature is high, and the rest of the feed is easy to rot, so the water always stinks. After only two days of changing the water, it became turbid soup, and even the Brazilian tortoise was almost invisible. This is because unicellular algae reproduce, the water is rich in nutrients, the temperature is suitable, and green algae reproduce very quickly.
Several experiments have tried to keep the pool water clear with chemicals, but the effect is not ideal. CHlNOSOL (one gram to thirty liters of water) can keep the water clear and odorless for a week, but the crumbs and rotten feces stirred up by turtles make the water dirtier. Whether the Brazilian tortoise living in this water for a long time is harmful to coliform bacteria is inconclusive, and whether this water containing chemicals will harm the internal organs of animals is uncertain, so it is best not to use chemicals.
The easiest way is to change the water completely. J. Four hours after eating, drain, drain and dump the old dirty water. Then scrub the wall and bottom of the container with a medium hardness brush and clean water. When cleaning, put the Brazilian tortoise in a plastic basin or on the land in Chi Pan, where C can't escape. Before putting the turtle back into the water, inject clean water with proper temperature.
Some species of swamp turtles or water turtles can't fully adapt to changing water, but Brazilian turtles will soon get used to this practice and its interference. Completely changing water still has disadvantages. Second, it will induce the colorful turtle to speed up the excretion of feces in the intestine and make the newly changed water dirty again. Therefore, it is best to check the incubator (pool) and remove the feces shortly after changing the water.
The need for light:
Many turtles need to bask in the sun, just like some Brazilian turtles released in the pool. They can often be seen stretching out their limbs and closing their eyes in the hot sun. Sunbathing can kill some bacteria on the turtle shell, prevent the turtle shell from becoming soft and brittle, and keep warm. These functions mainly need ultraviolet rays, and the ultraviolet green in sunlight is very important to turtles. So, when you want turtles to enjoy the warm sunshine, don't just let them stay in the water, try not to be separated from the glass, because ultraviolet green is easily blocked. If you are afraid of drying out because you have forgotten to take it back for too long, you can set up a semi-water place to completely expose them to the sun or soak them in water. It is best to let them bask in the sun for one or two hours every day, and brush the turtle's back regularly with a soft toothbrush to remove parasites.
What does the tortoise eat? Many profiteers who buy and sell pets recommend "special turtle food". When I got back, I found that turtles didn't like eating, or even didn't eat at all. In fact, those so-called "turtle food" are all cheating money. In order to make money, profiteers only sell you garbage that turtles don't eat. They can't wait for you to buy another one after you die, and don't buy the so-called "turtle food" recommended by profiteers. Sisby red-eared turtle mainly eats meat, such as small fish, shrimp, loach, earthworm and insects. I often give a fly a snack when I kill it. Generally, newly bought turtles have weak eating ability and won't prey on live food, so you need to feed them a little at this time. Be patient when feeding it. Cut the fresh meat into mung beans, clamp them with tweezers and slowly reach the front of the turtle's nose. It will smell carefully before eating. Practice makes perfect. Generally, it is enough to feed one cigarette butt at a time. When you are young, you should feed it three or four times a week to make it adapt to the environment quickly, because it will sleep when it is hungry for a long time, while the turtle who is too young often won't wake up when sleeping, so you should feed it more to prevent it from sleeping. When it's bigger than a matchbox, you usually eat it yourself. It can put some small ones at this time. Don't put too much, or you will kill a lot but don't eat it, so the water will stink as long as it is put for one day at most, and the same is true for feeding meat. Don't waste it and don't feed it as much as possible, or it will collapse. My turtle used to tilt its head and limbs back, which is very funny. I vomited several times, showing how worthless the turtle is! Overfeeding will make turtles grow too fast. It's not fun and cute when it grows up, unless you save it for eating, hehe! A friend of mine bought a turtle with me, and I fed it too much. In less than two years, it grew to the size of a bowl, and all the patterns on it were gone. It's ugly. I'm panting like a dinosaur. When I was that big, I could eat a basin of loach in a week, which shows its horror. So when I grow up, I can feed it once a week. It is best to feed some small fish ... > >;
Question 8: I have an elephant turtle at home. I know nothing about its living habits except what it wants to eat. Asking for help ... Living habits: Elephant turtles are subtropical terrestrial turtles, mainly living in high humidity forests. Love warmth, fear cold. When the ambient temperature is 22-33℃, the activity and food intake of the elephant turtle are large, and when it is 17-20℃, it only eats a small amount of food, and the activity is not large. No matter how low the temperature is, there are hibernating turtles that are docile and suitable for group reproduction and polyculture, but there is a phenomenon of grabbing food. I don't like strong sunlight very much. If I put them outdoors, I should pay attention to the time when they are directly exposed to the sun. If it takes more than 30 minutes, they may be dehydrated. The exposure time of young turtles in the sun should not exceed 10 minute. Shaded areas must be provided.
Feeding habits: I like to eat fruits, vegetables and lean meat under artificial feeding conditions, such as vegetable leaves, apples, watermelons, grapes, tomatoes, bananas, lean meat and snails. Elephant turtles are more sensitive to red than white, and like to eat red food, such as tomatoes. It is suggested that the diet should be mainly vegetables, supplemented by fruits and animal protein. I especially drink water, so the water supply needs to be very sufficient.
Question 9: What does the elephant turtle like best? 1, oily wheat dishes, never tire of eating them, but they are easy to make if you give them too much.
2, Xiangdan, tomatoes, cucumbers, turtles generally like to eat, can not give more. You eat too much, Rush.
It is best to give mulberry leaves, plantain, dandelion leaves and sweet potato leaves.
Question 10: What do animals like turtles eat? We don't feed pigs, beef and mutton, which is bad for turtles. We can feed eggs, shrimp and fish to supplement protein, vegetables to supplement vitamins and rice. If you have time, bask in the sun, which can supplement calcium.
