Usually, the food is mainly fed into the water, and it should be cleaned as soon as possible after eating.
It is necessary to change the water regularly to ensure a clean and hygienic environment.
In addition, let it bask in the sun, which can sterilize and disinfect, and at the same time synthesize vitamin D, which is beneficial to absorb calcium.
First, feeding containers to raise small turtles first need a container, you can use a special feeding box, if not, you can also use pots to raise them, but it is best to disinfect them first, so as to avoid harmful bacteria in the pots from adversely affecting the growth of turtles.
The container must be large, so that it can move, and at the same time, it must avoid jailbreaking. Once it runs away, it is difficult to find it back.
Second, food feeding turtles generally prefer to eat meat, so feeding them usually uses various meats, such as fish, shrimp, chicken, pork, etc., but lean meat must be used. If the oil content is too high, it will not be easy to digest after eating, which is not good for its stomach.
In order to make it grow rapidly, it should be fed once a day.
Third, change the water regularly In order to avoid the turtle getting sick and provide a suitable environment, change the water regularly.
Usually, there is not much water for raising turtles, and the water level is above the turtle's back. Every time you change the water, you have to change it all. If you only change a part, it will be ineffective.
Before and after changing water, the temperature should be consistent, and the temperature difference will also affect the health of turtles.
Fourth, bask in the sun. Even in childhood, turtles need to bask in the sun.
This can not only raise the temperature and promote metabolism, but also kill the bacteria on the turtle's back and prevent the occurrence of diseases. It is also conducive to the synthesis of vitamin D, which is very helpful for the absorption of calcium and can make the turtle grow better.
