1 month-old soft-shelled turtle can be fed with egg yolk, and then fed with algae, small fish and shrimp, aquatic insects and other foods. Before stocking the fry, each acre of pond should be splashed with 125 kg of quicklime water, and the seedlings should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes, and then young turtles 10- 15 per square meter area should be stocked, and after the weight exceeds100g, they should be separately raised, and the density is 2-3 per square meter at this time. During the breeding period, plant feeds such as green vegetables, pumpkins and apples can be mainly fed, and animal baits such as earthworms, internal organs of livestock and fresh fish and shrimp can be supplemented. Before feeding, the food should be disinfected with potassium permanganate solution.

1. What food does the little turtle eat?

1, turtle food

(1) When the turtle is 1 month old, it can be fed with egg yolk, and when it is older, it can be fed with small fish, shrimp, tadpoles, algae, aquatic insects and other foods.

(2) Bread, fruit, turtle food and vegetable leaves can also be used to feed small turtles. When feeding, they should be chopped up and then put into a small amount of water. If there is any surplus, it should be cleaned up in time to prevent water from deteriorating.

2. Breeding method

(1) stocking

(1) Before stocking, the mu was sprinkled with quicklime 125 kg of water, and the seedlings were soaked in 20 mg/L potassium permanganate solution for 20 minutes.

(2) The stocking density of juvenile soft-shelled turtle is 10- 15/m2, and it will be separately reared after the weight reaches100g, and the density is 2-3/m2.

(2) Feeding

① Plant feeds, such as vegetables, pumpkins, apples and watermelon skins, are mainly fed, while animal feeds, such as snails, earthworms, internal organs of livestock and fresh fish and shrimp, are supplemented.

② Before feeding, disinfect the food with 20 mg/L potassium permanganate solution.

(3) The proportion of fresh materials in the diet should reach 10-40%, and the feeding amount should ensure that the soft-shelled turtle can finish eating within 1- 1.5 hours.

(3) Management

(1) change the water on time, each time the amount of water change shall not exceed 1/3 of the total water volume, and the transparency of the water body shall be controlled at about 30cm.

(2) do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases such as white spot disease, red floor disease, red neck disease and skin rot.

Second, what is the appropriate water depth for raising turtles?

1, parent turtle pond

(1) needs to be built in a quiet place, with a suitable area of about 1 mu and a suitable water depth of about1.5m..

(2) Spawning sites should be set on the pond bank on the sunny side, and escape walls 50-80cm higher than the pond bank should be built around.

2. Juvenile turtle pond

It needs to be built indoors, the suitable area is about 25-30 square meters, the suitable water depth is about 0.5 meters, and the bottom should be covered with a layer of silt with a thickness of 5- 10 cm.

3. Young turtle pond

The suitable area is about 150 square meters, and the suitable water depth is about 0.8 meters. The bottom needs to be covered with silt, and an escape wall with a height of about 30 cm should be built around it.

4. Adult turtle pond

The suitable area is 1-2 mu, and the suitable water depth is about 1.5-2 meters. An escape wall should be built around the pond, and an island should be built in the center of the pond to provide a place for turtles to move and bask in the back.
