Domesticated turtles generally refer to Brazilian turtles. In artificial breeding, meat is the main food, especially in the juvenile and juvenile stages, mainly fish and shrimp, lean meat of animals and so on. And plant feeds (bananas, fruits, etc.). ) and worker ants can also be eaten in the adult stage.

In the wild, adult turtles' diets include herbs such as algae and duckweed floating in the water, crustaceans such as pythons, mussels, small fish and shrimps, and mollusks such as snails.

Extended data:

First, the environmental requirements of artificial breeding:

For young Brazilian tortoises, flat-bottomed containers are used for breeding, and plastic water tanks and aquariums can be used to build their homes. The water in the container should not be too deep, just over the back.

Each young turtle should have five liters of water, and the water depth should not exceed the length of the turtle, so that the turtle can support its feet when breathing on the water.

In addition, it is best to make an island with bricks and stones in the fish tank (floating islands are not suitable because young turtles often can't climb up, in vain). The island doesn't need to be too big, just to meet the needs of Brazilian turtles.

It is worth noting that islands and decorations should not become dangerous obstacles to avoid getting stuck and drowning young Brazilian turtles.

The optimum water temperature for the growth of the Brazilian tortoise is 20~32℃, and the feeding temperature is 20~35℃, but the appetite is strongest at 29~32℃. Stop eating at 36℃, dormant at 38℃, resistant to high temperature of 40℃.

When the temperature drops below 16℃, it is dormant, and there is zombie risk below 1℃.

Second, the breeding matters needing attention:

1, you can't put the mouse cage in a place exposed to the hot sun, otherwise once the turtle enters the mouse cage and is locked inside, it will be sunburned into a wax turtle, so this is worth noting.

2. Check the aquaculture box for water leakage every day. If there is nothing to let the turtle climb out of the incubator and leak in the hot sun, it will also kill the turtle there, especially in summer.

3. In addition, there should be nothing around the incubator for the tortoise to clamp its body, so as to prevent the tortoise from escaping and dying in the open sun.

Turtles should not use round glass jars or plastic boxes, which will make them lose their sense of direction.

5. Don't use red sorting boxes or other feeding boxes, turnover boxes, etc. Because Brazilian turtles don't like red, they use red sorting boxes or other feeding boxes and turnover boxes. It will stimulate Brazil and make Brazilian turtles restless in the water.
