Every year in mid-April, male and female grass turtles mate in the water. ? Female turtles lay eggs between May and August.

Second, after understanding the above common sense, we will be faced with how to choose 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. ?

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. ?
