In order for turtles to fully digest these feeds, corn and peas need to be crushed and soaked for about 2 hours before feeding, and other large pieces of food must be chopped before feeding. It should also be noted that in different growth stages of mountain turtles, feeds containing different nutrients should be given according to their growth characteristics.
The life of mountain turtles is closely related to the climate, and they start foraging at the beginning of April every year. From June to August, the feeding activity reached its peak 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.
Question 2: How to raise mountain turtles? Mountain turtles have a wide range of food habits, including rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, worms, snails, etc. Among them, the favorite foods are small fish, snails, corn and rice. In artificial breeding, in order to meet all kinds of nutrients needed by the growth of mountain turtles and avoid poor growth and anorexia caused by a single feed, various feeds should be adopted, such as fish, shrimp, snails and mussels in animal feed and rice, wheat and corn in plant feed. In order for turtles to fully digest these feeds, corn and peas need to be crushed and soaked for about 2 hours before feeding, and other large pieces of food must be chopped before feeding. It should also be noted that in different growth stages of mountain turtles, feeds containing different nutrients should be given according to their growth characteristics.

Question 3: How to raise wild mountain turtles? In the middle of this month, I bought a 3.5-kg mountain turtle in 300 yuan, which is similar to yours. Considering the cold weather, put it in your stomach now. There are still empty turtle shells hanging at home.
Question 4: How to raise turtles 1? Preparation before raising turtles:
You must be mentally prepared before raising a turtle. Don't want to have a turtle on impulse. Take good care of it. It will be with you for a long time.
2. Buy a turtle.
Be sure to choose healthy turtles. Pick whatever you want. Well, look at whether the nails are soft or not (soft is generally calcium-deficient) and pull the claws. See if it's strong. Are the nails intact?
What do you think of men and women? Pull out the turtle's tail. The excretory orifice is that the female is in the carapace and the male falls out of the carapace ~
3. Raise turtles.
Don't rush to do anything when you buy it back. First of all, we must understand the species of turtles. I have listed some related websites below. You can find the kind of turtle you have in it.
Turtles are generally divided into tortoises, amphibians and water turtles. Therefore, we should arrange its "home" according to different turtle species and habits.
Because the amphibious turtles (Brazilian turtle and pearl turtle) are raised twice, only some methods of raising amphibious turtles can be introduced.
Generally, the amount of water is slightly higher than the turtle's back, so that the turtle can stick its head out to breathe. Especially for smaller turtles, don't drink too much water. You can also put a stone with a bigger turtle shell and a flat one in the middle of the basin. Slightly above the water. A place where turtles can rest when they want to go ashore. In short, remember that turtles breathe with their lungs. So if the water level is too high, there must be a place for the tortoise to climb up and breathe. . .
(Water-tap water or well water cannot be used directly. Water should be left for more than 2 days before it can be used. You'd better get some sun. This is very important. I just introduce the general practice here. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge about water quality, which can be found in some professional posts of turtle forum)
5. What do you think of the turtle you just bought? How to feed.
Turtles are naturally afraid of life. So what? It's normal for the newly bought turtle not to eat. Because it is afraid of strangers and unfamiliar with its surroundings.
So when and how will the food be served?
First of all, don't bother the turtle all the time. Keep the tortoise quiet and let it adapt to the environment.
Secondly, when you put food, you should go far away. The tortoise won't eat in front of its master at first. It will eat secretly. If you wait for a long time, the tortoise will get to know you before eating. You should be patient.
I heard that turtles that don't eat Dongdong feed shrimp or breadworms and try to catch them. I haven't tried.
6. What food should the tortoise eat?
Generally, soft-shelled turtles can eat pork liver (raw), pork (thin and raw), vegetables (such as lettuce), shrimp skin, small fish, snails and so on.
But according to the difference of each turtle species, there are also different differences. For example, pearl turtle tended to eat meat when he was young. When I grow up, I am more inclined to eat grass. Therefore, it is very important to know the species and habits of your own turtles first.
Cut the food into small pieces. How small is it? Well, look at the turtle's mouth . It's too big for it to bite ~ the food intake at a time is about the size of a turtle's head.
Remember not to feed one food all the time. This will cause partial eclipse and unbalanced nutrition of soft-shelled turtle.
7. change the water.
How often should I change the water? Generally speaking, if the water is dirty, it should be changed.
My suggestion is that turtles poop every time they are fed. Of course the water is dirty after defecation. So it is best to change the water at this time. The suggestion is to change only 2/3 of the water and leave some old water in it.
Another way to maintain water quality is to remove impurities and poop in water in time. When feeding, be sure to take the turtle to another place to feed, and then put it back after feeding. )
Pay attention to the water for raising turtles. Don't be hot and cold. Constant temperature is the most important.
8. bask the tortoise in the sun.
Some turtles like sunbathing very much. For example, the long-tailed turtle. Sunbathing is very important for turtles. This is very powerful for the growth of turtle shells. It seems that some turtles don't like sunbathing.
It is generally best not to bask in the sun at noon when the sun is particularly strong. The temperature is too high at this time. The tortoise doesn't like it. Morning is best. The time is 15-40 minutes.
You can put the tortoise in a place with half sunshine and half shade. Convenient turtle selection.
Note: Never put it on the balcony. It is said that someone put it on the balcony, and the turtle crawled around and fell half to death or even died from the stairs.
9. How often do you feed food?
Small turtles can be fed once a day, old turtles can be fed once every 3-5 days or once a week.
10, hibernation period
Turtles start at the beginning of April every year ... >>
Question 5: How to raise turtles so as not to die? Size as you like. Little turtles are hard to keep, and chinemys reevesii is not too close. I think so, too. It is best to buy it from April to September every year. If you want to buy two, don't buy one that is too different in size. Brazilian tortoises are fierce and can eat. It's best to buy a man and a woman. There may be turtles in the future. Observe the turtle's appearance carefully. The shell should be smooth and hard with beautiful patterns. There is no peeling skin and no acne wound. Nails are intact, limbs are free from injury, eyes are clear and free from injury, corners of the mouth are free from mucus, and nostrils are clean and circulated. Climb fast and straight with strong limbs. Lively and grab food. Finally, put it in the water to see if its swimming style is beautiful. You must surface to breathe. That's about it. I'll add it later when I think about it.
2. Distinguish between male and female turtles:
The male turtle has long nails on his front paws, a thick and long tail, far away from his body, and slightly concave nails on his abdomen. On the other hand, it is a female turtle.
Of course, this can only be seen by females about the same size as males.
3. Turtle jar:
The more natural the better. You don't have to change it all the time to buy a vat, and the turtles can move with confidence. The cylinder wall is high to prevent it from climbing out. There is water and land. The water depth is three times the thickness of turtle shell. Sand and rain stones can be thrown at the bottom of the water, and several aquatic plants can be planted. Raise a few more small fish. Change the land. Buy a turtle tank, and there will be stairs and ground. If it is an ordinary fish tank, put a big stone. Put it where the sun can shine. This is the easiest way. If possible, you can buy an ultraviolet lamp, put it 30 cm away from the turtle box and irradiate it for 15-20 minutes every day. Buy a heating rod when it is cold and the temperature is low, and the temperature is 25 degrees.
4. Water quality:
If you are diligent, you'd better change the washing sand every day. If you are lazy, buy a filtering system. Even so, change it once a week. Changing water frequently is very important for turtles. Add a little salt to the new water. Not too cold. Otherwise, they will get many diseases.
4. Food:
Turtles are omnivores, and young people love meat. Can feed small fish, shrimp, pig liver, red worms, cockroaches and so on. Turtles usually eat in the water. Turtles love vegetarianism when they are old. They will eat aquatic plants. You can feed some vegetables. Too lazy to fiddle with those messy things, just buy a box of turtle food and eat it slowly. High-quality soft-shelled turtle food is rich in calcium, protein, fiber, fat, vitamins A, B 12, C, D3, E, and it is nutritious, so it is definitely not very delicious. Turtles must think so, too. Feeding in moderation, the turtle's digestive system is not very good. The tortoise is too small to feed too big shrimp, etc. Chop it up. When they finished eating, they fished out the leftover food.
5, basking in the sun:
When it is warm, you can put it in the sun 15 minutes or so. Be careful not to be exposed to the sun! The sunshine is best at 90: 00 in the morning and at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Regular exposure to the sun can supplement calcium and kill bacteria in the cracks of its shell.
6. Security:
If there are cats and dogs at home, we should add barbed wire to the turtle tank. Many turtles died at the hands of cats and dogs. The turtle tank is too high for them to climb out. Be careful not to step on the stone in the jar and you won't get out. Pay attention to give them a bath every day for a certain period of time. Prevent drought death. Be careful not to let them fall off when they climb high. Especially friends who keep turtles on the balcony, don't let the turtles climb out and fall downstairs! Very dangerous!
7. Hibernation:
Hibernation is very important for turtles. When the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it will probably end at 10 and start in March next year. Newborn turtles had better not hibernate in the first year, and sickly turtles had better not hibernate.
1. Insist on clearing the stomach: start supplementing nutrition in September, and stick to it. Stop feeding about two weeks before hibernation, and soak in warm water for defecation in the last three or four days to empty the intestines. All the above are necessary, otherwise the food left in the intestine will ferment and cause their stomach wall and intestine to rupture and die.
② Hibernation box layout: Use a large plastic storage box covered with thick soil. They will come in by themselves. Leave it for a few days and spray some water on the soil to keep it moist. 10- 13 degrees is the best hibernation temperature. Don't put it in the open air, it will freeze to death below 8 degrees. It is best to put it in the corner of the balcony. Let the temperature drop slowly, and don't let them suddenly feel cold.
③ Observe their situation at any time. Don't forget them! When the weather is warm, take the turtle out and put it back in its original place. Don't feed them for three days. Start feeding on the fourth or fifth day. They must have lost weight. Give them more food and make up for it. Get well as soon as possible Turtles that hibernate smoothly can give birth to babies.
8. Don't sleep:
Young turtles, weak turtles and turtles bought during hibernation should not be allowed to hibernate. Because they don't do intestinal cleaning before hibernation.
(1), water and horizontal temperature columns are necessary. About 25 degrees.
2. If the room temperature is around 25 degrees, it can be dried. But every day ... >>
Question 6: The living habits of turtles and how to feed them at home 1. Life habits of turtles: turtles are semi-aquatic and semi-terrestrial reptiles. Mainly inhabit rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and other waters. Many people are trapped in the water during the day and look for shade in droves when it is hot in summer. Gentle temperament, do not fight with each other. When the enemy is injured or frightened, the head, limbs and tail are retracted into the shell. Turtles are omnivorous animals, feeding on animals, insects, worms, small fish, shrimps, snails, mussels, tender leaves of plants, duckweed, melon skin, wheat grains, rice and weed seeds. Strong hunger tolerance, not eating for several months will not starve to death. Turtles are warm animals. When the water temperature drops below 10℃, it will hibernate in mud or covered loose soil at the bottom of the water. The hibernation period generally lasts from 65438+ 10 to the beginning of April of the following year. When the water temperature rises to 15℃, it moves out of the cave and begins to eat when the water temperature is 18℃-20℃.
2. The age and growth of the tortoise: At present, there is no conclusion on how long the tortoise will live. Generally speaking, it can live 100 years. According to relevant research, it has been more than 300 years, and some even exceed 1000 years. Turtles grow relatively slowly. Under normal circumstances, the growth rate of female turtles is: the first year's turtle weight is about 15g, the second year's turtle weight is 50g, the third year's turtle weight is 100g, the fourth year's turtle weight is 200g, the fifth year's turtle weight is 250-250g, and the sixth year's turtle weight is about 400g. Male turtles grow slowly, and the maximum sexual maturity is generally less than 250 grams.
Feeding and bait of turtles
(1) Brazilian turtles have the habit of sunbathing, but they can't bask for a long time. Outdoor turtle boxes cannot be placed in long-term direct sunlight, and shading facilities must be provided. If you raise turtles indoors, you can install an ultraviolet lamp 30 cm away from the turtle box and irradiate 15 to 20 minutes every day. Pay attention to the escape of turtles in the box, and it is best to add a net cover. In winter, the water temperature drops and makes it hibernate. If possible in summer, you can take the turtle out to bask in the sun during the day and bring it back at night.
(2) Farming should not be too intensive, and it should be graded according to size, and turtles will also eat the jungle. For example, a large number of soft-shelled turtles should be raised separately, generally 30 to 40, which is convenient for management and can promote growth.
(3) Turtles are omnivores, and most of the wild turtles in nature are carnivores. Raise small fish, shrimp, pig liver, red worms, cockroaches, etc. Feed raw materials should be put into water, but pebbles should not be put, so as to avoid feed rotting in the cracks of stones and affecting water quality.
(4) Keep the water clean and change the water frequently. In addition, the sand at the bottom is often cleaned. Avoid breeding of bacteria and pests.
Treatment method of tortoises eye disease
The eye disease of Brazilian tortoise is called white eye disease, which is an infectious disease caused by water pollution. Take the turtle out of the water and put it in the shade to let the membrane flow out of its eyes. You can feed it some animal livers.
Use chloramphenicol or other anti-inflammatory eye drops 1-2 times a day, or use penicillin drugs 1-2 times, and feed 45,000 units per kilogram of turtle weight; Or dip a cotton swab or a new wool nib in the aqueous solution of 1% nitrofurazone or 1% Rafnuel, smear your eyes twice a day, and then put them in clean water. It can be cured in six days.
How much food is fed to the tortoise every day?
Young turtles should be fed once a day. When the tortoise grows up, it can be fed once every two or three days. The amount of feed given to turtles is generally 1- 1.5 times that of their heads.
Pay attention to the balance of various nutrients when feeding turtles. When smelly turtles and stone turtles are young, they should always feed small fish, earthworms and other animals anyway.
How to take care of turtles every day
First, feed the tortoise. Young turtles should be fed every day, and adults can be fed once every two or three days.
Second, the turtle cage should be placed in a place convenient for sunlight, and the turtle should be basked in the sun every day.
Third, check the turtle's health every day, pay attention to the changes of the turtle's body, see if the turtle's shell becomes soft, whether its eyes are wide open, and whether its feet and neck are injured. In order to find the disease and treat it as soon as possible.
How to treat the turtle's blindness after hibernation
It is common for turtles to have eye problems after hibernation. The reason why it can't see things may be that there is a white film in its eyes. If so, you can drop chloramphenicol eye drops on the turtle's eyes two or three times.
Question 7: How to raise a wild turtle weighing 20 Jin? The breeding of wild turtles is roughly the same as that of ordinary mountain turtles.
Mountain turtles have a wide range of food habits, including rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails, etc. Among them, the favorite foods are small fish, snails, corn and rice. In artificial breeding, in order to meet all kinds of nutrients needed by the growth of mountain turtles and avoid poor growth and anorexia caused by a single feed, various feeds should be adopted, such as fish, shrimp, snails and mussels in animal feed and rice, wheat and corn in plant feed. In order for turtles to fully digest these feeds, corn and peas need to be crushed and soaked for about 2 hours before feeding, and other large pieces of food must be chopped before feeding. It should also be noted that in different growth stages of mountain turtles, feeds containing different nutrients should be given according to their growth characteristics. The life of mountain turtles is closely related to the climate, and they start foraging at the beginning of April every year. From June to August, the feeding activity reached its peak 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.
If your turtle is really a wild turtle, I suggest you release it to nature, because it is a second-class protected animal, and it is illegal for you to do so.
Question 8: How does Hainan mountain turtle raise this thing? It eats meat and only eats lean meat. Occasionally, it can get some cooked egg whites, but both meat and egg whites should be chopped. There is no need to feed it every day, just once every 3-4 days, and the amount should not be too much. The mountain turtle sold outside is at least a small piece of meat we usually use for cooking, either fresh meat or frozen meat. Of course, frozen meat is easier to chop than fresh meat. In addition, pay attention to changing the water, otherwise it will stink, and don't have too much water. If you put the container flat, it will just pass the eaves of the turtle shell. It is best to have both water and dry land. That's basically all. It is my own pet experience. I hope you can use it.
Question 9: How to raise wild mountain turtles The raising of wild mountain turtles is basically the same as that of ordinary mountain turtles.

If your turtle is really a wild turtle, I suggest you release it to nature because it is a second-class protected animal.
1 the ideal way is to keep it in aquarium y, equipped with automatic temperature control (32 degrees), and with a filter that doesn't rest day and night, put a fluorescent lamp on the top of the aquarium and decorate a few fish to swim around in it.
2 Keep the water that the turtle's feet can touch, so N is high. I want J to eat more, and I won't kill myself if I don't eat or breathe in the water. When J eats feed, the water should be n high above his head, which is more convenient for him to eat. It is best to cover the turtle shell with water level. Based on the principle of exposing the head for about 3 minutes, J also pours out the water after eating. In summer, of course, give him a high water level, and there is also a beach to sunbathe. He often changes it in summer because he often poops. If he eats J every day, he has to change it every three days and change the water every two or three days. Also, when the weather is cold, it is best to put the water for two or three days before using it. If there is really no space and time, use tap water.
Usually the staple food is mainly feed, occasionally vegetables can be J, it is best not to J the feed they eat, otherwise the color of turtle shell will not be N green. There is still J food that hasn't been eaten after 20 minutes, so it should be cleaned up. When the weather gets warmer, you should stare at him every day, because some turtles forget to eat and then die.
Note: (The tortoise is fierce, so be careful not to be bitten when touching it. If bitten, just put his head in the water and he will let go when he wants to breathe. )
Whenever the climate gets cold and food is scarce, many animals go into hibernation. So hibernation is a way for animals to adapt to bad environment in struggle for existence.
When animals hibernate, they will not starve to death if they don't eat for a winter. Because before hibernation, they have already started preparations for hibernation, that is, since summer, they have gradually accumulated nutrients, especially fat, in their own bodies. When hibernation comes, the body accumulates quite a lot of nutrients, so it looks obese. These accumulated nutrients are enough to meet the needs of the body during the whole hibernation process.
Although a lot of nutrients are accumulated in the body, the hibernation period lasts for several months. How can it be enough? It turns out that when animals hibernate, they can't eat or move, or they rarely move, so the number of breaths is reduced, the body temperature is also lowered, the blood circulation is slowed down, the metabolism is weak, and the nutrients consumed are relatively reduced, so the nutrients stored in the body are sufficient. When the nutrients stored in the body are almost used up, the hibernation period is over. Animals after hibernation are very thin. After waking up, they should swallow a lot of food to supplement nutrition and return to normal body as soon as possible.
It is an adaptation to the cold climate in winter, because it is a temperature-changing animal.
Before and after beginning of winter, the turtles in the pond will go into hibernation. If the wintering place is not good, the soft-shelled turtle will not be able to overwinter normally, which will directly affect the growth and reproduction in the next year. Turtles spend the winter in limestone caves with high humidity. Most caves are sheltered from the wind and light in the east-west direction, and some of them are located in the north-south direction. Before overwintering, some caves should be set up in the sunny place on the shore of turtle pond for turtles to enter the caves freely to hibernate. The wintering cave is very suitable. When the temperature drops below 13℃, it begins to hibernate in clusters. During the whole wintering period, the head, tail and limbs all shrink into the shell, close your eyes, and do not eat, move or excrete until they emerge from the sting. If the environment does not adapt, it is difficult to enter a dormant state. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1- 10℃. Above 10℃, it is easy to cause turtles to wake up, thus consuming physical strength. & gt
Question 10: according to the custom, can you raise mountain turtles and money turtles to get rich?
