Breeding method of grass turtle seedlings

Breeding method of turtle seedlings: physiological characteristics turtles are also called turtles, turtles and scarabs. Wild turtles live in rivers, lakes and ponds and feed on small fish, shrimp, insects, frogs and plants. Turtles belong to semi-aquatic animals. I often climb out of the water and sunbathe on rocks or stumps. The five-year-old tortoise entered sexual maturity. Every year in mid-April, male and female grass turtles mate in the water. Female turtles lay eggs between May and August. Each female turtle lays eggs three to four times a year, with five to seven eggs each time. The mother turtle lays her eggs on the beach not far from the water. After 50 to 80 days of natural incubation, young turtles can enter the water and live independently. Turtles can grow to about 23 centimeters long. The average life expectancy is fifty years. Compared with other common turtles, grass turtles grow slowly and are much smaller. Turtles have the habit of hibernating. Every year, when the water temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius, the grass turtle begins to hibernate. Turtles bury themselves in wet sand or hibernate in cracks and other places.

Breeding method of turtle seedlings: how to identify the sex of the golden thread turtle (1) and the method of identifying the sex of the turtle. The male turtle has a slender tail and a thick bottom. The cloaca is far from the bottom of the abdominal nail. The cloaca is relatively close to the bottom of the abdominal shell of the female turtle. This method is more accurate in identifying males and females, but there will be errors when it is used to identify young turtles, because the young turtles are not fully developed and the differences between them are not obvious.

(2) Other differences in body shape between male and female turtles: there are slight dents on the abdominal armor of male turtles, while female turtles are flat. Male tortoises grow with age. The darker the body color, the stripes on the neck of most male grass turtles will disappear and the whole body will turn black. This is also a grass turtle. What's its name? Turtle? Reason. However, there are some male turtles that don't become ink, and there are also male turtles with gold thread. But what is certain is that not all male turtles are ink turtles, but all ink turtles must be male turtles. Cuttlefish have no females.

After understanding the above common sense, what we are faced with is how to select excellent golden thread turtles.

(1) turtle selection: 1. Look at its shape, that is, the turtle has a better body shape, which depends on personal hobbies. 2. Look at its color. Most beautiful grass turtles have bright gold or silver. 3. Check its condition. The tortoise is in good condition, strong and lively. 4. See if it falls off. In addition, if you buy wild turtles, it depends on whether there are clear annual rings. 5, pull its claws, to be able to respond quickly, powerful claws.

(2) Preparation of feeding environment: The most common way is to use a round goldfish bowl. However, because it is more troublesome to change water, turtles don't have much room to move. Just because the water quality is inconvenient to build land, the problem of turtle skin rot often occurs. If you pay attention to the cleanliness of water quality, it is also an optional method, but you must expose yourself to the sun when changing water. The recommended method is to use a square or rectangular water tank with a 5-watt built-in filter, stone, etc. It refers to the layout of the turtle tank in the sticker in this garden. There should be water and land, stones should be placed on the high ground, and water can't cross the stones. When the stone is on the left, the tortoise can swim and rest on the shore. The water quality is still very clear if it is not changed for a long time, and it is ok if it is not filtered, but the water should be changed frequently.

(3) What should the tortoise do when he gets home? Disinfect with five thousandths of potassium permanganate for half an hour. If the turtle friend is not sure about the amount, look at the reddish water. Fifty cents of potassium permanganate can be used for several years. When the turtle is disinfected, the breeding environment should also be disinfected.

(4) How should the tortoise eat when he gets home? Don't eat for a while after the tortoise comes home. After the soft-shelled turtle is familiar with the environment, it naturally begins to eat in about three days when the temperature is right. If you start eating, live small fish and turtles can also prey. But the premise is that the tortoise is hungry and has no other food to eat. It must be eaten alive. If meat and shrimp are released, turtles may eat meat and shrimp instead of catching live fish.

(5) Why isn't the tortoise lively when he goes home?

Turtles are not lively. First, the environment is unfamiliar. Second, the temperature is lower. Heat to about 26 degrees, naturally lively, eat. If there is mucus in your nostrils, you may have caught a cold. Don't worry, soak oxytetracycline and heat it to 28 degrees a day. The inactivity of the tortoise is related to the temperature in Otawa, because the natural climate is not very hot now, and the tortoise just woke up from hibernation, so it is impossible to be lively. See the next question about how turtles eat.

Breeding methods of turtle seedlings: some problems about eating

1. Turtles eat all kinds of food, usually feeding small fish, shrimps, all kinds of raw meat and so on. Feed it twice a day when the temperature is high in summer;

It turns cold in autumn, so feed it once a day. For adult turtles, some breeders suggest feeding them every other day. Because adults have slow metabolism, it is healthy to feed more.

Kang is unfavorable. Most grass turtles still keep their eating mentality in the wild. In the wild environment, food is not easy to get, so when eating, grass turtles always wolf down and overeat. Live fish and shrimp can still be eaten easily, so be careful not to feed too much when feeding.

2. Frequently asked questions about skipping meals:

Some turtle friends say that eating turtles is closely related to the following aspects, such as environment, temperature, appetite and other conditions. Generally speaking, (1), turtles should have a process of adapting to the new environment when they get home. When turtle friends get home, don't eat in a hurry, let turtle get familiar with the environment first. (2) Some turtle friends will ask why they can't eat for a few 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 15 degrees turtles don't eat much, don't wait for turtles to eat, especially wild turtles, which is a good thing. If the tortoise must eat it, it must follow the physiological laws of the tortoise. (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.

Breeding method of turtle seedlings: prevention and treatment of common diseases. Turtle skin is solid and easy to raise.

If the water quality and temperature of food are well controlled, you will hardly get sick. Most of them are bacterial infections caused by trauma, such as rotten skin and nails. If you find rotten skin, just soak it in salt water and keep it dry for a few days. If it is serious, wash it with hydrogen peroxide, soak it in salt water, apply iodine, and keep it dry for a week. So is rotten nails. If the rotten nails are serious, consider injection. Generally, early detection and early treatment can solve the problem quickly.

Breeding method of turtle seedlings: other aspects: turtles need to dry their shells. Vitamin D produced by sunlight is beneficial to the absorption of calcium and is very important for the growth of tortoise shells. If your turtle is kept in the yard or on the balcony, the sun can

With direct irradiation, that's the best. When drying the turtle shell, it is best to let the sun shine directly on the turtle shell, because the glass will block the light of a certain wavelength and affect the efficiency.

Fruit. When basking in the sun in summer, we should also pay attention to a shady place, so that grass turtles can choose to avoid shade and prevent heatstroke.

If you keep turtles indoors, there is no time for them.

They sunbathe. It is recommended that you use professional crawler lighting.

According to the equipment instructions, simulate irradiation for a period of time every day. The aquarium needs a piece of land to raise turtles.

The ground area is made of heavy wood or stone, so that turtles can go ashore to rest and take a light bath. The water level of the aquarium should not be too high, just slightly higher than the turtle's back.

Turtles have the habit of hibernating in winter. If you live in a place where winter comes early, it's long and cold. It is best to heat it, shorten the hibernation time or cancel hibernation.

Generally, the heating temperature is 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. Control its hibernation time in about three months. Hibernation is beneficial to healthy adult turtles. During hibernation, the heart rate decreases, resulting in

Turtles live a long life, and it is likely that turtles need to complete some hibernation during this time to develop. Therefore, it is best to respect their hibernation habits and ensure a hibernation period. During the period of heating and feeding in winter, feed according to the summer feeding method.

Many young turtles will die during hibernation, so it is not recommended that young turtles born that year hibernate.

The tortoise is very spiritual and has a strong interaction with people. When you come near, it will swim to you and ask you for food;

I like to take food away from my hands when feeding.

Every turtle has its own unique personality, and you will find many interesting phenomena in the breeding process. It is a very interesting pet.

"Turtles" mentioned in ancient legends, myths and fables in China mostly refer to grass turtles. According to the ancient geomantic theory, turtles are animals that can bring good luck and longevity to people.

Turtles can also predict bad luck, block evil towns and houses, and bring you wealth ... Although these are superstitious sayings circulating among the people, since we still have many unknown things, let's take them seriously first.

Feeding Skills of Turtle —— Changing Water Method

Change water, partially change water, completely change water.

Local water change is also called. Water? That is, siphon turtle dung, residual bait and other dirt at the bottom of the fish tank. The water absorption should be about a quarter of the water in the tank, and a large fish tank can absorb a certain proportion less. In short, it depends on the specific situation. After the dirty water is sucked out, fresh water with the same amount and temperature should be added and dried or chemically dechlorinated. If the water temperature is low, you can add boiling water or heat the water to the water temperature in the cylinder with a heater, and then pour new water into the cylinder. Twice a week in autumn and winter is the best time to replenish water; Three times a week in spring and summer is appropriate.

All water changes should be carried out under the condition that there is a lot of dirt in the tank, and the grass and bottom sand need to be cleaned again. Take out all the equipment in the fish tank, all the aquatic plants and all the turtles. It should be temporarily put into other containers with the same temperature as the raw water, and the wall and bottom of the pool should be scrubbed clean with sponge or emery cloth, and then all the water should be sucked out. If necessary, rinse again with a small amount of concentrated brine, and then rinse with clear water. The bottom sand and aquatic plants should be washed once. It is best to wash the bottom sand with strong salt water, and then rinse it before loading it. It is advisable to change the water once every two weeks to once a month, but if the water quality changes, it should be changed at any time.
