Now as our living conditions gradually improve, many people have begun to keep pets. For most people, they still prefer to keep kittens and puppies; there are also some people who do not take the ordinary route and like to keep some weird pets, such as snakes, lizards, spiders, hamsters, turtles, etc.

Personally, I also raise a turtle, which is a Brazilian turtle. I have been raising it since I was in junior high school, and it has been 15 years now.

Raising turtles is relatively simple. On the one hand, because the turtle itself has a long lifespan, on the other hand, because the turtle is an omnivore, it is relatively easy to feed.

In my personal experience of raising turtles, I think it is better to use the following methods to raise turtles: 1. Ensure an adequate and diverse food supply

The turtle is an omnivore. , they not only like to eat meat, but also eat vegetables, fruits, and some insects that fall into the water. For giant tortoises, even mice are in their diet.

When I raise turtles, I like to feed them a variety of foods. Many times, fruits, vegetables, shrimps, meat, and some leftovers are poured into the pond to feed the turtles.

If you go out to do farm work, you will also catch some grasshoppers and crickets to give them a change of taste. Occasionally mice caught at home will also be included in its diet. 2. Ensure sufficient lighting time

During the growth process, turtles need to change their shells to ensure their normal growth. During the process of changing its shell, the turtle needs to have sufficient light, which is why the turtle often basks in its shell.

In the process of raising turtles, we should let the turtles dry their shells as much as possible. You can build a high platform above the water in the pool. This will be a leisure place that turtles like very much.

In the process of raising turtles, in addition to the above two points, you also need to ensure that the turtles can survive the winter smoothly. After all, when the temperature is low in winter, turtles will also enter a dormant state. At this time, you need to pay attention to the status of the turtles in time to prevent them from freezing to death.
