The death of turtles may be the cause of improper feeding, and it is also related to the high water level. When the water level is too high, it may make turtles have difficulty breathing, even foaming at the mouth, and even endanger their lives. When feeding turtles, it is necessary to grasp the temperature and water level of the water and change the water for turtles regularly.
A normal turtle will turn itself over after turning over. But when the tortoise gets sick, it is difficult to turn over by itself. This posture will affect its breathing, and it will also exert some pressure on its internal organs, which may lead to drowning or failure to breathe normally to death.
It is an omnivore. It can eat a lot of food, but it prefers to eat meat. It should be noted that it cannot metabolize salt, so food must not contain salt, otherwise it will lead to edema. In addition, in order to ensure balanced nutrition, vegetables should be added regularly, and calcium should be supplemented.
Daily maintenance of turtles
1, keep young turtles to bask in the sun every day, and you can feed them turtle food, but don't feed them too much. If you feed them too much at a time, they will easily die.
2. Turtles need long-term sunlight every day to grow healthily, because turtles are cold-blooded animals. Sunbathing can keep warm, kill some bacteria on their shells, and prevent their shells from being soft and brittle.
3. The ultraviolet green in sunlight is very important for turtles.
4. Therefore, when the owner wants the turtle to enjoy the warm sunshine, don't just let it stay in the water and try not to be separated from the glass, because the ultraviolet green is easily blocked.
5. If you are afraid that you will forget to take it back for too long and die, you can set up a semi-water place so that they can be completely exposed to the sun or soaked in water.
6. Feed the tortoise to eat in the water. When the temperature is lower than 18℃, it will stop eating. When it is lower than 15℃, it will enter the hibernation period. It will not start eating until the temperature is around 20℃ in March and April next year.
