2. Environment
Besides turtles and semi-water turtles, other turtles such as Brazilian turtles, grass turtles, pearl turtle, crocodile turtles, maps and other water turtles must be kept in the water! ! ! The water level and volume should be sufficient, and the feeding container can at least make it swim. Round containers are not suitable for keeping turtles. Even if you can make do, at least go to the supermarket to buy a rectangular non-toxic plastic box, which is much better than this small cylinder. The water level depends on the size of the turtle, and generally does not exceed 5 times the height of its shell. Buy a floating platform or floating island, which is a necessary appliance in the turtle tank ~! So it can climb ashore to rest by itself. It won't be soaked in water all the time. If you want to come up, you can go ashore to dry your back without artificial production. Turtles need sunshine, so it is recommended to put them on the balcony or in a room facing south. But if there are babies or pregnant women at home, it is best not to keep turtles, which are easy to carry some germs. In summer, you should cover yourself properly and don't get too strong sun. Pay attention to prevent algae from growing in the water tank. You can buy algaecides, which are usually sold in aquarium stores. The bottom of the tank can be covered with pebbles or pebbles. But if it is paved, it will be very troublesome to change the water. Novices suggest using bare cans, but nothing is paved. Do not put aquatic plants in the water.
3. Water for raising turtles
To use tap water that has been dried for more than 2 days (for chlorine removal), it is best to prepare 2 plastic buckets to dry, which can meet the needs of water change. It is recommended to change the water every two to three days. Only a part of the water needs to be changed at a time, and the water in the whole tank does not need to be changed unless the water and the periphery of the tank are dirty. When partially changing water, use a plastic small tube to suck out the dirty water at the bottom by siphon principle, and then add fresh water with the same capacity (that is, tap water that has been dried for 2 days) into the tank. In this way, the turtle that changes water will not have white eye disease or rotten nails. If it's too much trouble, you can use a strainer, which is the kind used by fish farmers. There are flowers and birds in the market, so it's easy to find. Using filters can stabilize water quality, and how to cooperate with nitrifying bacteria can create a good environment. Change more water in summer.
The tortoise eats in the water. When feeding, put the feed directly into the water. Turtles usually feed on pork, beef, shrimp, small fish and livers of poultry and fish. These foods should be chopped or shredded, but these animal feeds are very easy to pollute the water. Novice suggests hello. Good feed, such as penis and inch of gold, is good. Feed is more worry-free, professional turtle feed has better nutrition and is not easy to pollute water quality. The temperature is high in summer, and the turtle has a fast metabolism, so it can be fed once a day. However, it is generally recommended to feed turtles once every two or three days. It is no problem to feed the tortoise once a few days. As long as the water supply is sufficient, they can eat nothing for half a month. The amount of turtles fed each time is usually enough for the size of their heads. Like cooked food, cooked meat, ham sausage, you must not eat it indiscriminately ~! Be sure to pay attention to some necessary knowledge ~! First, don't feed the tortoise salty food, such as salty shrimp, dried fish sausage and so on ~! ! After sodium chloride (salt) is ingested, it will cause edema and renal function damage. Turtle should definitely avoid salt intake ~! It's a little salty ~! Similarly, the cooked food we usually eat, such as fried meat, rice and steamed bread, is not suitable for turtles.

Question 10: What's the harm of the Brazilian tortoise? The baby Brazilian tortoise is one of the most dangerous ecological invasive species in the world, but now it is becoming a popular pet that citizens are keen on. Yesterday, the reporter found in the flower and bird market in the temple and Xianghe that almost every ornamental fish stall has Brazilian turtles. These turtles are small and lovely, and their prices range from 5 yuan to 8 yuan, attracting many people to watch or buy them. A stall owner of the Damiao Flower and Bird Market, which buys goods from the south, said: "Brazilian tortoises are becoming more and more popular. They can sell dozens a day and more than 100 on weekends. " I saw these Brazilian turtles for sale, smaller than the thumb cover and bigger than the palm, crawling around in the washbasin. The stall owner said that most of the Brazilian turtles in Yantai came from the south, and he was airlifted from Guangzhou. It is reported that many children and adults like to raise the Brazilian tortoise because it is easy to raise and can be fed with feed, as well as lettuce, small fish, shrimp or diced meat. It is a harmful invasive species. People don't know its harm. According to the data, the Brazilian turtle, also known as the red-eared turtle, is an ornamental turtle introduced from abroad and one of the most dangerous invasive species in the world. Experts in the marine and fishery departments of the city believe that the Brazilian tortoise is small and lovely, with strong adaptability and fecundity, which is the main reason why it has become a common pet. However, the advantages of Brazilian tortoise are also its disadvantages. The Brazilian tortoise will plunder a lot of living resources of other creatures, which will destroy the survival of the same species and make it a dangerous invasive species.

No relevant legislation and management experts warned not to release it into the wild. Since the Brazilian tortoise is a dangerous invasive species, is there any prohibition? The reporter learned that many invasive animal and plant species have been found in our city, including Brazilian tortoise. What is worrying is that at present, the country lacks laws and regulations on alien invasive species, and the management of alien species involves many departments such as environmental protection, agriculture, health, quality inspection, forestry, ocean, inspection and quarantine, and lacks unified coordination. As far as the Brazilian tortoise is concerned, it has caused a certain threat to the environment of some cities in the south. Experts in our city reminded that the most basic thing for farmers is not to release them in the wild and reservoir areas at will.
