Turtle. Feeding: nutritious food, such as small fish, shrimp, screws, raw refined meat, etc. The little turtle wants to cut raw fish and shrimp. Feed them in pieces. Lean meat, fat meat and indigestible food that cannot be cooked. Otherwise, you will get indigestion and get sick. For example, the Brazilian tortoise has two periods in a year: one is the growth period, and the temperature is above 15 degrees, which is about 5- 10 months. This period is the time for the tortoise to grow. This needs to give the turtle a comfortable home.

Turtles don't soak in water all day, but absorb oxygen directly from the air, not from the water, so your new home should consider the convenience of breathing for them. That kind of deep fish tank is not suitable, especially when it is full of water. It will be very difficult to swim to the surface and stick your head out for air. After a long time, physical exhaustion will drown. Put a stone in the middle of the fish tank, because the turtle can't stay in the sun. The size of the stone is larger than that of the tortoise, accounting for about one-sixth of the area of the fish tank, and the height is slightly higher than that of two turtles piled up. The top should be flat, of course, water should be added to the fish tank, and the water surface should be slightly lower than the stone surface. Because turtles don't breathe in the water, the requirements for water are far below the standards for fish farming. As long as the water is not too turbid and smelly, fish tanks should not be placed in dark places such as corners and bathrooms, and it is best to put them in quiet places where sunlight can shine.

As long as the water quality is kept clean (it is best to keep the water in direct sunlight 1 day or more), white eye disease, skin mildew, nail rot and skin rot can be prevented. ) and the water temperature is constant (keeping the water temperature well can prevent turtles from catching cold and pneumonia), so turtles are not easy to get sick.

Let me tell you why "saving water" is so important:

Carrying water: what we call "trapped water" Why is the water "sleepy"? Because there is chlorine in tap water. Chlorine disinfection is basically harmless to people. However, the chloric acid and hypochlorous acid in the water can easily stimulate the soft-shelled turtle and infect it with bacteria, so it is best to expose it to the sun for a period of time to make the chlorine in it fully volatilize.

Turtles don't eat except when they are sick. The water temperature you give them is too low. Turtles like to eat in the water, and the temperature is kept at 25-27 degrees. If they were not sick, they would eat by themselves. And the water level you add to the turtle should not be too high, just past the edge of the turtle shell. The water should be sunned 1 day or more. This requires special attention.

Frequently asked questions about skipping meals:

Some turtle friends say that eating turtles is closely related to the following aspects: environment, temperature, appetite and other conditions. Generally speaking,

(1) When the tortoise gets home, it should have a process of adapting to the new environment. Don't rush to eat when turtle friends get home. Let the tortoise get familiar with the environment first.

(2) Some turtle friends will ask why they can't eat for several days. It depends on the temperature. When the temperature is around 26 degrees, the tortoise has a big appetite. It is also a big joke to let turtles eat at the hibernating temperature. If the tortoise doesn't eat at 15 degrees, don't wait for the tortoise to eat, especially the wild tortoise, which is a good thing. If they insist on following the physiological laws of turtles, it is necessary for them to eat.

(3) A turtle friend asked that the turtle environment is familiar and the temperature has gone up. Why don't you eat? First, not hungry. A turtle who is not hungry will not eat it. The tortoise moved, shit, and will eat soon. Turtle friends will ask again, what should I do if I don't eat after all this is done? If the above problems are solved, this is the second reason, that is, other reasons, such as turtle's stomach is not good, inflammation and so on, so we should prescribe the right medicine. Generally, oxytetracycline is used to soak the stomach for anti-inflammation, and ephedrine is used to strengthen the stomach.
