Turtle culture method

1, time. The temperature is low in spring and autumn, and the tortoise is inactive in the morning and evening. It only feeds around noon, so it is more appropriate to feed at 8-9 am. From Grain Rain to the autumnal equinox, it is the peak season for turtles to eat, and it is in summer.

Soft-shelled turtles usually don't move at noon, and usually feed in the afternoon 17 ~ 19, so it is more appropriate to feed in the afternoon 16 ~ 17. Timing can make turtles eat on time, get more nutrition and ensure fresh feed. ?

2. positioning. Fixed feeding points should be set up along the edge of the pool, and the feeding platform of the feeding point should be close to the water surface, which is convenient for turtles to swallow water and bite. The purpose of feeding the turtles in a fixed position is to make them form a habit, so that they can find food conveniently, and at the same time, it is convenient to observe the activities of the turtles and check their feeding situation.

3. Qualitative. 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 body.

Characteristics of sea turtles

1, the feeding habits are very miscellaneous: turtles belong to semi-aquatic and semi-terrestrial reptiles. Mainly inhabit rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and other waters. Many people are trapped in the water during the day and look for shade in droves when it is hot in summer. Gentle temperament, do not fight with each other. When the enemy is injured or frightened, the head, limbs and tail are retracted into the shell.

2. Long life: At present, there is no conclusion about how long the tortoise lives. Generally speaking, it can live 1000 years. According to relevant research, it has been more than 300 years, and some even exceed 1000 years.

3. Slow growth: The tortoise grows slowly. Under normal circumstances, the growth speed of female turtles is: the weight of one-year-old turtles is about 15g, that of two-year-old turtles is 50g, that of three-year-old turtles is about 100g, that of four-year-old turtles is 200g, that of five-year-old turtles is 250-250g, and that of six-year-old turtles is about 400g. Male turtles grow slowly, and the maximum sexual maturity is generally less than 250 grams.

4. Strong hunger tolerance: Tortoise has strong hunger tolerance, and it is not easy to starve to death even if it does not eat for several months. Strong disease resistance and high survival rate.
