How to raise a little turtle? How much turtle food do you eat a day?

The life of turtles is closely related to the climate. How much turtle food can be eaten depends on the specific turtle species and breeding conditions. Feeding begins at the beginning of April every year; Feeding activity reached its peak from June to August, and the weight gain rate was the fastest. 5438+ 10 After the temperature gradually dropped in June, its food intake began to decline. When the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, stop eating and enter the hibernation period. Therefore, turtles should be raised according to their growth characteristics.

The temperature is low in spring and autumn, and the tortoise is inactive in the morning and evening. It only feeds around noon, so it is more appropriate to feed at 8-9 am. From Grain Rain to the autumnal equinox is the peak season for turtles to feed, and it is in summer. Generally speaking, soft-shelled turtles are inactive at noon, and they are usually fed in the afternoon 17- 19, so it is more appropriate to feed in the afternoon 16- 17. Timing can make turtles eat on time, get more nutrition and ensure fresh feed.

The carapace of the male turtle is 94 ~ 168 mm long and 63.2 ~ 105 mm wide. The female carapace is 73.1~170mm long and 52 ~1/6.5mm wide. The head is of medium size, and the width of the head is about 1/4 ~ 1/3 of the width of the carapace.

Inspection method of common diseases: When you want to check the turtle's head, you can buckle the back of the head with your thumb and forefinger when it is not paying attention, and move quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to check once it is retracted into the shell. If the turtle peels too much, it may be caused by skin problems or unbalanced nutrition.

Eyes The turtle's eyes should be very clear and bright. If the eyes and face are swollen and more tears are formed, it means that there is something wrong with the eyes. In addition to eye infections, foreign bodies, corneal trauma or cataracts, conjunctivitis caused by vitamin A deficiency is more common, especially during development.

Matters needing attention in raising soft-shelled turtle:

1. Young turtles, adult turtles and parent turtles should be raised in separate ponds to avoid the phenomenon of turtles swallowing young turtles, and at the same time, it is convenient to determine the feed dosage and feeding management, and to observe and master the growth of turtles.

2. Because the tortoise is gentle and timid, it is necessary to keep quiet around the breeding pond so as not to affect the normal activities of the tortoise such as foraging, sunbathing, mating and spawning.

3. Change the water in the feeding pond frequently, keep the water clean, keep the feeding pond clean and prevent the turtle from getting sick.

4. The sand in the open space between the pool and the fence should keep a certain humidity. Some cooling measures should be taken in midsummer, such as sprinkling water and planting some small shrubs.
