first, the production process is cruel: the tortoise shell is smashed, smeared with ginger, and the tortoise is soaked in a small jar.
In general, algae don't grow on turtle's tortoise shell, so in order to make algae attach to tortoise shell, some conditions must be created artificially: use a file to crush the tortoise shell into rough, apply ginger to make the rough tortoise shell produce mucus, and then dry it without touching water to form a "culture medium" suitable for algae attachment and growth.
Because turtles can run around, their activities must be restricted during vaccination. Their method is to put them in a narrow jar.
The turtle's excrement will pollute the water body, but changing the water means that the collected algae spores will also be dumped, so their practice is not to feed the turtle several days in advance, even until the end of inoculation. Although turtles can not eat for a long time, it is the feeding season for turtles at around 25℃, and it is really uncomfortable to starve at this time.
Imagine: Turtle dealers picked hundreds of turtles, smashed their tortoises, smeared ginger on them one by one, and then put them in hundreds of small pots and soaked them with high-concentration algae. They wouldn't eat until they grew little green hairs. It's really cruel!
Second, the feeding process is cruel: algae corrode the turtle body, and it is easy to suffer from nail rot, and it is difficult to find out in the early stage that
after being cultivated into a green-haired turtle, the life span of the turtle will also be affected. The root cause is that the turtle shell damaged by the file and the green hair covering the whole body cover up some lesions.
friends who have raised turtles know that the most common disease of turtles is "rotten skin and rotten nails". As the name suggests, the most obvious feature of this disease is skin and tortoise shells rotting, and the cause is mostly related to water quality.
At the initial stage, the diseased parts will be spotted one by one, which is easy to be found on ordinary turtles, and most of the body of the green-haired turtle is covered by this green dress. Once the turtle has a common "nail rot", it has passed the best treatment period when it is found, especially the turtle shell, and the owner often finds the abnormality when the turtle shell festers, the green hair falls off or even does not eat.
