The first point is the container for keeping turtles. Generally speaking, many people will use a washbasin to raise turtles. The basin is filled with sand and made into the shape of a slope. The height of the water should ensure that turtles are underwater in deep water, and turtles can stick their heads out of the water in shallow water. In fact, the equipment for raising turtles is more advanced now, and some of them are equipped with gentle slopes, along which turtles can climb to the "shore" to bask in the sun.
The second point is the control of temperature. As we know, the tortoise is a hibernating animal. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will move slowly. We know that most people keep turtles indoors now. If there is heating in the room, turtles rarely hibernate. In addition, the soft-shelled turtle fed at home can keep up with the nutrition and keep alive in winter. It is worth mentioning that people often add temperature control devices to turtles, which is actually unnecessary, but since a heater is installed, it is best to set the temperature at around 20 degrees.
The third point is the collocation of food. Turtles are omnivores, and fish is their favorite food. If they are little turtles, they can't eat the whole fish. We can also buy special turtle feed. The basic ingredients of feed are dried fish or shrimp skin, which are all mashed and can be eaten by small turtles. The tortoise grew up and ate more. It can eat starchy food, eggs, meat and vegetables, just like raising pigs. It is worth mentioning that some little turtles don't eat as soon as they get home. At this time, you should put food in his mouth, and he will learn slowly.
The fourth point is the surrounding environment. Turtles are naturally timid, and they flinch when they are in danger. In order to make turtles more energetic, the surrounding environment should be as quiet as possible. If there are cats and dogs at home, be sure to keep them away.
The fifth point is to take preventive measures. Disease prevention is mainly sterilization. Usually, turtles should be equipped with water filtration equipment. Otherwise, water should be changed frequently, and the frequency of water change should be kept at about once every three days. You can also change the water once every five days when you are busy, and only change half of the water at a time. This can protect the ecological balance of bacteria.
In short, we must pay attention to the above points when feeding turtles.
