The reason why we can't keep turtles at home 1, the reason
Soft-shelled turtle can't be kept at home, because it has high requirements on the environment. It is suitable for living in a well-lit environment, but it can't meet the needs of domestic turtles, which will make them prone to illness. Moreover, turtles like to be quiet, and they will be nervous in a noisy environment, which will affect their growth and reproduction.
2. Breeding grounds
When breeding soft-shelled turtle, the size of the site should be determined according to the funds of the breeder. It is best to build a soft-shelled turtle pond in a place with sufficient water and good water quality, and the soft-shelled turtle pond should be far away from residential areas or polluted areas to avoid too noisy environment. The soil at the bottom of the pond should be clay, which is beneficial to soft-shelled turtle breeding.
3. Feeding management
When feeding the soft-shelled turtle artificially, it is necessary to place a bait table near the breeding ground, and the bait table should make an angle of 45 degrees with the water surface, so as to facilitate the soft-shelled turtle to find food. Moreover, before feeding the soft-shelled turtle, it is necessary to scrub the table with diluted disinfectant for disinfection and sterilization, so as to reduce the chance of soft-shelled turtle getting sick.
4. Feeding methods
When raising turtles, I need to provide them with fresh bait to meet the nutritional needs of turtles, and regularly sprinkle bleaching powder, chlorine dioxide or quicklime into the water for disinfection. Plants such as water hyacinth can be planted in the pond, and the root system of water hyacinth is developed, which can absorb harmful substances in the water.
