(1) Create a good environment. Predators don't like light Try to keep it in shallow water (3-4 times the height of the back), and put a shelter on the water to keep out the light, so that the turtle can feel safe.
(2) Shockproof placement. Novices are timid and sensitive to vibration. In addition to being placed in the shade, they can also be covered with a layer of bottom sand, or placed in an appropriate earthquake-proof way. It's a good idea to put foam plastic or multilayer newspapers under the cylinder.
(3) pay attention to observation. After setting up the feeding environment, you can put some live feed fish in it appropriately, pay attention to the quantity put in, and then observe it regularly to try not to affect the turtle.
2. Opening hours. The feeding time is related to the individual condition of the turtle and the feeding situation before the start. At room temperature, it is normal to spend 10 days or more.
3. The snapping turtle must be alive when eating, and both small fish and loach can be alive. When you see it open its mouth and start fishing, it succeeds. But you feed raw meat when you come up, as if no snapping turtle would eat it.
4, training bait:
(1) Hungry. If a predator who has eaten for a while feels completely familiar with the environment, it can train the bait. Clean up the live bait in the jar first and be hungry for a few days.
(2) put in dead food. Putting a certain amount of dead food, preferably chopped fish, shrimp, lean meat or loach, can increase the smell of blood in the water. Then pay attention to the quantity. If the bait is found to be less, even if the bait training is successful.
(3) luring food. Take certain measures to irritate predators and feed them to improve the success rate of bait training.
Extended data:
Feed for snapping turtles:
The feeding amount of (1) is 1.5% ~ 2.5% of the total weight of snapping turtles and 5% ~ 10% of fresh feed.
(2) Feed it three times a day at 6: 00 ~ 7: 00, 12 ~ 13, 17 ~ 18 respectively.
(3) Feed more and evenly, and try to make the feed make a sound when it enters the water.
(4) Don't concentrate on one place, resulting in piles of feed.
(5) The number of feed units in each pond should be determined according to the size of the pond, generally 3 ~ 4 per square meter.
