1. Feeding. Turtles are not picky about food, and vegetables such as leafy vegetables, cabbage, and carrots can meet their requirements. But turtles need a lot of calcium, so when feeding turtles, you need to feed them some food containing a lot of calcium. Special feed can be purchased on the market and is very convenient to feed. Sometimes you can also feed fish and meat slices.

2. Water quality. Turtles also have very high requirements for the water quality in their living environment. If possible, it is best to change the water every day. Otherwise, the water temperature will rise, and there will be some turtle excrement and leftover feed in the water. Turtles exposed to this environment for a long time will promote the growth of pathogens, which will cause them to become sick and eventually lead to death.

3. Lighting. Turtles need regular light, especially small turtles. If there is a lack of light, small turtles will suffer from various diseases. Light can promote the tortoise's absorption of calcium. If there is no light, the tortoise will be deficient in calcium. For an animal covered with bones, calcium deficiency is a big deal. And the best way to prevent turtles from getting sick is to get enough sunlight (but be careful not to be exposed to the sun! Generally, the sun is best at nine or ten in the morning and three or four in the afternoon)

4. Hibernation. Hibernation is important for turtles. They begin to hibernate when the temperature drops below about 12 degrees. In the north, it starts from about the end of October to March next year. Young turtles, weak ones, and turtles bought during hibernation should not be allowed to hibernate. Because they did not do the work of cleaning their intestines before hibernation.
