2. Water quality: If you are diligent, it is best to change the water every day and clean up the sand. If you are lazy, buy a filtering system. Even so, change it once a week. Changing water frequently is very important for turtles. Add a little salt to the new water. Not too cold. Otherwise, they will get many diseases.
3. Food: Turtles are omnivores, and young people love to eat meat. Can feed small fish, shrimp, pig liver, red worms, cockroaches and so on. Turtles usually eat in the water. Turtles love vegetarianism when they are old. They will eat aquatic plants. You can feed some vegetables. Too lazy to fiddle with those messy things, just buy a box of turtle food and eat it slowly. High-quality soft-shelled turtle food is rich in calcium, protein, fiber, fat, vitamins A, B 12, C, D3, E, and it is nutritious, so it is definitely not very delicious. Turtles must think so, too. Feeding in moderation, the turtle's digestive system is not very good. The tortoise is too small to feed too big shrimp, etc. Chop it up. When they finished eating, they fished out the leftover food.
4, basking in the sun: when warm, you can put it in the sun 15 minutes or so. Be careful not to be exposed to the sun! The sunshine is best at 90: 00 in the morning and at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Regular exposure to the sun can supplement calcium and kill bacteria in the cracks of its shell.
5. Safety: If there are cats and dogs at home, add barbed wire to the turtle tank. Many turtles died at the hands of cats and dogs. The turtle tank is too high for them to climb out. Be careful not to step on the stone in the jar and you won't get out. Pay attention to give them a bath every day for a certain period of time. Prevent drought death. Be careful not to let them fall off when they climb high. Especially friends who keep turtles on the balcony, don't let the turtles climb out and fall downstairs! Very dangerous!
6. Hibernation: Hibernation is very important for turtles. When the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it will probably end at 10 and start in March next year. Newborn turtles had better not hibernate in the first year, and sickly turtles had better not hibernate.
1. Insist on clearing the stomach: start supplementing nutrition in September, and stick to it. Stop feeding about two weeks before hibernation, and soak in warm water for defecation in the last three or four days to empty the intestines. All the above are necessary, otherwise the food left in the intestine will ferment and cause their stomach wall and intestine to rupture and die.
② Hibernation box layout: Use a large plastic storage box covered with thick soil. They will come in by themselves. Leave it for a few days and spray some water on the soil to keep it moist. 10- 13 degrees is the best hibernation temperature. Don't put it in the open air, it will freeze to death below 8 degrees. It is best to put it in the corner of the balcony. Let the temperature drop slowly, and don't let them suddenly feel cold.
③ Observe their situation at any time. Don't forget them! When the weather is warm, take the turtle out and put it back in its original place. Don't feed them for three days. Start feeding on the fourth or fifth day. They must have lost weight. Give them more food and make up for it. Get well as soon as possible Turtles that hibernate smoothly can give birth to babies.
7. Don't hibernate: Don't let young turtles, weak turtles and turtles bought during hibernation hibernate. Because they don't do intestinal cleaning before hibernation.
(1), water and horizontal temperature columns are necessary. About 25 degrees.
2. If the room temperature is around 25 degrees, it can be dried. But you need to take a hot bath every day. Give them something to eat in the bath.
It is best to eat fresh shredded pork or small fish and shrimp in winter. In order to maintain physical strength.
