After receiving the soft-shelled turtle, open the box to confirm that the soft-shelled turtle is consistent with the soft-shelled turtle purchased, and the soft-shelled turtle is healthy and has no appearance problems. Then we need to put the turtle in a larger space (take a small box and basin, or remove the moss from the original turtle box), let it stand in the shade for 2-3 hours, and then put the turtle in a fish tank (turtle basin).

If possible, you can dilute potassium permanganate with water, and then soak the soft-shelled turtle in diluted water for disinfection (it doesn't matter if it doesn't). The next step is to put the turtle in the water, remember not to throw it directly into the deep water, which is easy to be stressed.

The safer way is to gradually raise the water level, and slowly add the water from the foot to the back (if you don't pass the tortoise's back armor, you can show your head when you look up). The tortoise can be fed in two or three days after it comes home. You can feed a little turtle food and observe the turtle's eating situation.

Taboos for keeping turtles at home

Taboo 1: Avoid feeding young people. Turtles are not suitable for young people. Turtles have the characteristic of long life. Young people will not take good care of turtles because of their careers and other reasons. Although the tortoise has a long life, it would be a pity if it died because of poor care.

Taboo 2: Avoid keeping it in the toilet. Turtles are kept in toilets and are easily polluted by toilets. Besides, the tortoise needs sunshine to provide it with a good living environment.

Taboo 3: Don't keep too many kinds of turtles. Like human beings, every kind of turtle is different, and the living environment and behavior of different kinds of turtles are also different. If you keep too many kinds of turtles, you may fight, resulting in a short life span.

Taboo 4: Avoid raising too much. The pace of modern life is fast, and we don't have much energy to consider the number of turtles. We may take good care of turtles and let them die and get hurt.
