Most turtles are tame and can accept any food. Judging from the food, they are easy pets to keep. But turtles, like lizards, all need sunbathing. In addition, the turtle's body is close to a circle, its weight seems to be much higher than that of the outside, and it also has a lot of exercise. Generally, cages tend to be too narrow, which is more troublesome than other reptiles. 1.Food Although turtles eat all kinds of food, they have been fed cheap food with low nutritional value, which may cause malnutrition, so we must be especially careful. Turtles need a lot of calcium and should be fed foods containing a lot of calcium. Recently, a special feed for turtles with balanced nutrition was introduced on the market, which can be safely eaten. In addition, carp feed and dog food are also very suitable foods. Occasionally feeding some fresh food such as boneless fish, snake meat and mice will surely win the love of turtles. Feeding only fish and sliced meat will cause malnutrition, and water-soluble nutrients need to be added. What is described above is the food provided for turtles who often inhabit the water, such as tortoises who don't go into the water and like plant food, and are not suitable for artificial feed. Generally, leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables can be used to feed with nutrients. In order to use the feed of nine official birds to feed. 2. Cage aquatic turtles can be raised in containers that can hold water, such as sinks. The turtle's actual size is larger than it looks, and it takes a lot of exercise, so it needs a bigger cage. On average, the sink with a side length of 60 cm is still too small, so it is best to use the storage box for clothes to raise it. 3. Other turtles can't use calcium without ultraviolet radiation. Compared with lizards, the facilities to prevent turtles from escaping are relatively simple. As long as water supply facilities are provided and there is a cool place to rest, heatstroke is not easy to occur, and the way of sunbathing is relatively simple. If the calcium intake of young turtles is insufficient, the turtle shell will easily become soft; Insufficient intake of vitamin A may cause eyes to turn white. When the above phenomenon occurs, in addition to the problem of insufficient vitamin A and calcium, it may also involve long-term feeding of low-nutrient food, insufficient ultraviolet rays and other problems, which may be due to mistakes in feeding methods. We must provide balanced food with care, sunbathe with sun lamps, etc., and completely change the feeding environment. Common diseases crustacean diseases of aquatic turtles The crustacean of artificially raised aquatic turtles may have ulcers. Although they are all crustacean diseases, the types of pathogens are different due to different symptoms. Gram negative bacteria. Gram positive bacteria. Symptoms include shell peeling, pigmentation, ulcer, quadriplegia, paw shedding, visceral necrosis and so on. Crawfish, snakes, sea maggots and other animals used as feed, as well as soil and polluted water, may be the sources of infection. Bacteria enter the body through grazed wounds. During the treatment, medicinal bath was used and appropriate antibiotics were applied to the whole body. However, all kinds of turtles are allergic to certain antibiotics, so special attention should be paid when using them. Turtles are originally temperate to tropical creatures, so it is not easy to see wild turtles in cold regions. In Taiwan Province, the grass turtle is the most common one, and small green turtles native to America can also be seen for sale in aquariums. Turtle is a kind of turtle, which is fierce and can hurt people. Therefore, if you want to raise it, it is best to take a small house as a big one. Feeding place 1. The pool in the yard: To prevent them from escaping, a metal net can be set around the pool or the edge of the pool can be raised so that it cannot cross. 2. Feeding at home: The best feeding container is a sink or washbasin. As long as the turtle doesn't climb out, and the container can be changed with water. Feeding points The permanent place of the feeding box, preferably in the house forever. Because if you stay in the direct sunlight forever, the water temperature in the sink will rise, which will lead to the death of the turtle. Ideally, the water temperature should be kept at 25 C. If the water temperature reaches 30 degrees, they will be very lively. If they are found to be in poor health, they can be irradiated with a light bulb of 100 candle to make the water temperature slightly higher, but not more than 35 degrees. Water should be changed once a week. Turtles like to bask in the sun, because turtles are also cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature will rise and fall with the temperature, so they adjust their body temperature by sunlight. If the body temperature is too high, they will dive into the water. In addition, sunbathing can also make turtles produce vitamins, which will help their shells to be hard and healthy. The appropriate time for sunbathing is 30 minutes 1 hour. Turtles are sick when their shells become soft or their eyes turn red and swollen. It is usually caused by malnutrition, so feed them a little vitamin potion or medicine for babies every day, or use eye drops for people to make drops on their eyes. In the near winter, turtles don't eat. At this time, they should prepare a place for wintering. Put about 30 cm of water in the sink, and then put soil and a lot of fallen leaves. But if the water temperature is always around 25 degrees, turtles don't have to hibernate, and they must be given food on time. The prey is in ponds or rivers, and turtles feed on shrimps, crabs, insects and aquatic plants. Because of the north, when raising, you can give them a little lean meat, small goldfish, loach and freshwater fish meat and liver, and occasionally give them some vegetables or fruits.
