First of all, prepare a large enough turtle tank, add mineral water or dried tap water into the tank, and put a stone in the water for the turtle to rest and bask in the back. Secondly, the food usually fed to the black turtle can include turtle food, small fish, shrimp, vegetables and so on. It is enough to feed twice a day in spring and summer and once a day in autumn.

Soft-shelled turtle can be raised in water or dry, but it should be noted that soft-shelled turtle generally refers to the male turtle among grass turtles. This kind of turtle is essentially a water turtle, which needs to be soaked occasionally when it is raised dry. The breeder must at least provide the water level that has flooded the turtle's back.

Precautions: Choose a suitable breeding ground according to local conditions, eat in the morning and summer evening in spring and autumn, and ensure that turtles bask in the sun for about one or two hours every day.

Turtles kept in water need to bask in the sun occasionally, and breeders need to provide a terrace where they can be completely exposed to the water, so that turtles can rest on the terrace and receive the sunshine.

Sunlight plays an important role in the coat color of turtles. Adequate sunshine can not only provide heat for soft-shelled turtle, but also strengthen the deposition of pigment in the body and promote coat color. Adequate light can promote the inking of male grass turtles, and turtles that often bask in the back can also be more beautiful in appearance and color.
