How to raise a newly hatched turtle?

1. Choose the sand for hatching turtle eggs: the humidity of sand is an important factor to determine the hatching rate. Generally, the sand bought online can be used directly, not dry or wet, just right.

2. Distinguish between the plant pole and the animal pole: the plant pole is pink, the animal pole is extremely white, and the upward direction is better. The side where the turtle comes out is an animal pole, so the plant pole is placed below and the animal pole is placed above.

3. Gently put the turtle eggs in the sand, keeping a certain humidity, but not too wet: put the turtle eggs in the sand, and then spread 5 cm of medium sand and 1-2 cm thick fine sand in turn. Fine sand is mainly used to keep humidity and prevent water from evaporating too fast. Spread a towel on the fine sand, and it is better to spray water on the towel.

4. Pay attention to the incubation temperature: the temperature of the prepared sand is about 30℃. Below 25℃, embryo development is slow; At 38℃~40℃, the embryo will die within a few hours. In order to keep the best temperature, the temperature is high in summer, and ventilation is needed to cool down; When the temperature is low, close the doors and windows to keep warm.

5. The final shelling is the key step: after 5-8 days, the plant stem (opposite to the animal stem) turns pink; After 20~25 days, the plants are extremely red and black, and the young turtles have formed. From 26 to 30 days, dark embryos can be seen in the plants; After 33 days, the whole egg turned white, and the animal and plant poles could not be distinguished.

Extended data:

Turtles are aquatic omnivores and like to eat animal bait. Young turtles feed on aquatic insects, water worms, tadpoles and shrimps. Put it in water.

Turtle is an amphibian, breathing with its lungs, so there should be enough land beaches around or in the center of nail pond for land activities. Turtles are sensitive to the sounds of their surroundings. As long as there is a slight movement around, turtles can quickly dive into the bottom mud, so the breeding environment must be kept quiet.

If the soft-shelled turtle is often frightened, it is very unfavorable to its growth and reproduction. Turtles like to stay in an environment with good water quality, so the owner must change the water frequently, about once every 2-3 days.
