Mauremys mutica is what we often talk about, and mauremys mutica is a very popular species now. Its price is much cheaper than that of the money turtle, and it has a nice name, which won everyone's love. Let's introduce how to choose mauremys mutica and how to raise it.

First, the method of selecting mauremys mutica

1. Select the best-selling varieties in the turtle market: mauremys mutica has been bred for many generations in artificial breeding, and its individual genotypes are different, and the performance of characters is also different. Today, with the supply of seedlings, there is a pursuit of varieties in the market. For example, mauremys mutica, which sells well in the turtle market at present, is a three-black variety (i.e. black shell, black head and black foot). As a novice, you can follow the market. Although the current price of hot-selling varieties is slightly higher than other prices, the price for later sale is also high and easy to sell.

2. Choose healthy individuals: At present, mauremys mutica has frequent transactions and a large circulation. Therefore, it is inevitable that some individuals will be injured during transportation. If novices just receive these turtles, some of them will start to get sick or even die after returning. This phenomenon is common for novices. Therefore, it is suggested to buy turtles from farmers for more than one month. Generally, turtles in the pond will not get sick easily. Only by selecting vigorous, complete and good-looking individuals in the pond can we buy healthy turtles.

3. Choose cold-water turtles: Wild turtles or naturally cultured mauremys mutica have strong disease resistance and reproductive ability. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of turtle breeding technology, most turtles are raised by heating. The ability of heating turtles to adapt to the environment is relatively poor, and the egg production rate is relatively low. As breeding turtles, it will reduce the yield and affect the economic benefits of farmers. Therefore, it is suggested that if you buy breeding turtles, you'd better choose cold water turtles.

Second, mauremys mutica feeding methods

After the young turtles in mauremys mutica are cultivated, they will enter the adult turtle breeding stage. The time for young turtles to leave the pond will be from May to June, which will be earlier in Guangdong than in the north, usually around mid-May. Generally speaking, the average specification of the tank has reached about 200g g. At this time, the natural temperature difference outside is small, which is beneficial to the rapid growth of mauremys mutica. In order to avoid death caused by excessive temperature difference when leaving the pond, the temperature of the young turtle should be gradually reduced before moving out of the greenhouse, and it can only be reduced by 2℃ every day. If the outdoor water temperature is 25℃, it will take about 3 days to reduce the indoor water temperature from 30℃ to 25℃. The goal of adult turtle breeding in mauremys mutica by moving outdoors is: the young turtle of 150~200g will reach the commodity standard of 400g after three months' breeding. Using the high temperature season of July, August and September, the natural temperature basically reaches the best temperature needed by adult turtles, and adult turtles are generally cultivated in open-air ponds, which accelerates their growth. At this stage, there is no need to heat up energy consumption, just regulate water quality and meet the nutritional needs of turtles, prevent diseases and promote growth, and strengthen feeding management.

Before stocking, the turtle pond, breeding tools and young turtles should be strictly disinfected. Generally, the bottom of turtle pond is disinfected thoroughly with quicklime, the pond water is disinfected with chlorine dioxide, the tools are disinfected with potassium permanganate, and the young turtles are disinfected with salt or furazolidone to keep the turtles sterile. The stocking amount of young turtles depends on the conditions of turtle pond and the level of breeding technology.

Mauremys mutica (details)

Three, five elements of disease prevention in mauremys mutica.

1. Choose a suitable breeding environment. The turtle pond should be built in an environment with light, quiet, sheltered from the wind and little temperature difference.

2. Make a reasonable feed, which is very important for the growth of turtles. Make sure the food is fresh and pollution-free. The food sources in mauremys mutica are both animal food and plant food. The animal food is mainly fish and shrimp, while the plant food is mainly bananas, pumpkins and fruits. Because the animal food mainly supplements protein, fat, sugar and inorganic salts, and the plant food mainly supplements vitamins and other elements, therefore, it is not too monotonous to feed the food. If the turtles who feed less shrimp, shell powder should be added to supplement calcium. Different foods should be fed according to the different growth stages of turtles. For example, protein foods should be fed to the young turtles, and calcium should be appropriately increased to the female turtles laying eggs. Therefore, different packages should be prepared according to different development stages.

3. Feed the young turtles in a timely and appropriate manner, and feed them twice a day, usually at 8: 00 a.m. and 6: 00 p.m., and it is advisable to eat them within half an hour each time. Breeding turtles are fed once a day, but the amount of food should be small, so as not to make them overweight, but some people say that it can be fed once every three days. This method is incorrect, because turtles eat food every day in the wild, but there is a lack of food in the wild, so they should be fed without food every day before hibernation.

4. Disinfect regularly. Because there are residual food and turtle feces in the pond, the water body is eutrophic, and a large number of bacteria and fungi will infect the turtle body. Therefore, it is necessary to soak and disinfect the turtle pond with Shaweilong solution, salt or potassium permanganate solution every 10 day or so, and disinfect the turtle pond with lime powder or potassium permanganate every month to prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi.

5. Keep the water clean and fresh. Water is the main living environment of turtles, and the quality of water directly affects the health of turtles. Therefore, it is necessary to change the water source once a day. The water source can be well water or river water, and it is best to be exposed to the sun for a day before injecting it into the turtle pond. Warm water should be used to change the water of turtles cultured in winter, and the water temperature should be 25 degrees, so as to reduce the temperature difference of water.

Mauremys mutica's growth rate is relatively slow, and the adults will not be very large, so it is very suitable for family rearing. Of course, many people regard mauremys mutica as a commodity to promote the circulation of turtles in the market. In either case, we should take it seriously to ensure the health of turtles.
