1. What is the breeding method of turtles?

1, feeding place

Breeding methods such as turtle pond, turtle tank and reservoir have different advantages and disadvantages, and can be selected according to the actual situation.

However, most farms are mainly pond farming, because this kind of farming method is easier to manage and has considerable benefits.

It is necessary to establish young turtle ponds and adult turtle ponds, control the area according to different species, and expand the scale of breeding.

Mixed culture can also be carried out if conditions permit, so as to improve the efficiency of comprehensive culture.

Finally, we should pay attention to prevent turtles from digging holes and escaping, so we must ensure that the wall foundation is hard enough and deep enough.

2. Incubation management

If it is the first time to breed, you can choose to buy turtle seeds from outside.

You can also choose to hatch turtle eggs yourself to ensure the growth ability of turtles.

Turtle eggs are similar in color and size to eggs. In the wild, it can hatch for about two months.

However, natural factors such as temperature and light should be controlled during hatching to avoid environmental discomfort affecting the hatching rate.

Attention should also be paid to the prevention and control of natural enemies of turtles to avoid prolonging the incubation period and reducing the survival rate of hatching.

If you want to improve the hatching rate, you can artificially hatch the turtle during the incubation period.

3. Feeding management

The change of weather and climate directly affects the growth of turtles.

Turtles need to hibernate, so they don't eat in winter. They usually wake up before Tomb-Sweeping Day and start eating.

The demand for feed is the highest around July, because turtles grow fastest at this time.

Then as the temperature drops, its appetite will also drop.

According to the growth habits and seasonal changes of soft-shelled turtles, the feed should be adjusted reasonably.

Therefore, when feeding the feed, we should follow the principles of timing, quantification and fixed point to ensure that the turtles eat regularly and meet the nutrition needed for their growth.

Second, what are the precautions?

When raising turtles, we should pay attention to keeping them separately according to their age.

It can not only avoid bullying, but also facilitate management in the feeding process.

Turtles are timid, so we should pay attention to keep quiet when breeding to prevent the growth of turtles from being affected.

Then change the water regularly, ensure the water quality, do a good job in health management, and prevent germs from causing diseases.

Finally, it is necessary to adjust the temperature and humidity. The open space of the aquaculture pond should have a certain humidity, and attention should be paid to cooling in high temperature seasons such as summer.

Generally speaking, turtles are easy to raise. With the above knowledge, you can start raising cute little turtles!
