Turtle handbook:
1. environment
Get a jar, the bigger the better, preferably a rectangular glass fish tank or a large sorting box. Water turtles live in water, and the breeding depth of turtles is generally slightly higher than that of turtles' backs.
Do not exceed twice the height of the turtle's back. It's best to provide a piece of land above the water surface, such as a stone, for turtles to climb up and dry their backs. Turtles need sunshine, so it is recommended to put them on the balcony or in a room facing south.
In the room. But if there are babies or pregnant women at home, it is best not to keep turtles, which are easy to carry some germs. In summer, you should cover yourself properly and don't get too strong sun. Take precautions.
When algae grows in the water tank, you can buy algaecide, which is usually sold in aquarium stores. The bottom of the tank can be covered with pebbles or pebbles. But if it is paved, it will be easy to change the water.
Trouble, novices suggest using bare cylinders, but nothing is paved. Do not put aquatic plants in the water.
2. Water for raising turtles
To use tap water that has been dried for more than 2 days (for chlorine removal), it is best to prepare 2 plastic buckets to dry, which can meet the needs of water change. It is recommended to change the water every two to three days, as long as it is changed every time.
In some cases, it is not necessary to replace the water in the whole cylinder unless the water and the periphery of the cylinder become dirty. When changing some water, use a small plastic tube to suck out the dirty water at the bottom by siphon principle, and then add the same amount.
The capacity of clean water (that is, tap water that has been dried for 2 days) can be put into the cylinder. In this way, the turtle that changes water will not have white eye disease or rotten nails. If you are in trouble, you can use a strainer, which is the kind used by fish farmers.
This can stabilize the water quality, and how to cooperate with nitrifying bacteria can create a good environment. Change more water in summer.
The tortoise eats in the water. When feeding, directly put the feed into the water. Turtles generally feed pork, beef, shrimp, small fish, poultry liver and fish, and these foods should be chopped.
Or shredded, but these animal feeds are very easy to pollute the water. It is suggested that the soft-shelled turtle should be taken out and fed in a separate container when feeding. Novice suggested hey, ok.
Feeds such as lifeblood and inch gold are all good. Feed is more worry-free, professional turtle feed has better nutrition and is not easy to pollute water quality. In summer, the temperature is high, and the turtle's metabolism is fast.
You can feed it once a day, but it is generally recommended to feed it two or three times a day. Turtles don't need to be fed too often, and it's okay to feed them once a few days. As long as there is enough water supply, they won't eat for half a month.
Things are good, too. Usually it is enough for turtles to eat the size of their heads at a time.
4. About hibernation
When the temperature dropped below 13℃ from June to May of the following year, turtles began to hibernate until the temperature rose to 18℃. Hibernating turtles can't eat or move, but sleep. The simplest winter
The sleeping method is to move the turtle into a dark and quiet place indoors, hibernate in shallow water (the water has just passed through the shell) and change the water once a month. Try not to disturb the tortoise except changing the water. Be careful that the temperature is not lower than 6 degrees.
Otherwise, it will endanger the life of the tortoise. However, it is recommended to use heating rods in winter because of the high mortality rate of natural hibernation. The heating rod is the kind of tropical fish, and the temperature is set at about 30 degrees.
Put the lid on.
