If the turtle you buy is very small, you should not catch live food. You can feed it with a toothpick with a grain of lean meat the size of rice (you can use three or four grains once a day), and it will rub it in front of its nose, but some turtles are slow to respond, so you should be patient. When they grow up, you can feed them some live fish and shrimp. These foods are rich in calcium, which is beneficial to the growth of soft-shelled turtles.

They say turtles are easy to raise, but they are not. My turtle has been ill, especially the little turtle. If you love them very much, you should be diligent at ordinary times. Generally speaking, it's okay. My turtle is very healthy now.

Please give me water.

2. Plant feed. Including corn, wheat, soybeans, millet, rice, various cakes, fruits and vegetables in green feed, aquatic plants and so on.

3. Feed additives. It includes bone meal, calcium powder, salt, high-efficiency fast-growing additives, vitamins, veterinary multivitamins, sulfanilamide drugs in oxytetracycline and Hangmycin, dry yeast, mother food, koji and so on. Among the drugs for strengthening the stomach.

Although turtles eat all kinds of food, they have been fed cheap food with low nutritional value, which may cause malnutrition and must be especially careful.

The following are the precautions for turtles to hibernate. Please have a look:

Before hibernating, you should give the tortoise some fat. Starting from September, soft-shelled turtles should be fed twice a day for a month to store enough wintering fat. By June 5438+00, the tortoise stopped eating. Soak the soft-shelled turtle in lukewarm water, stimulate the soft-shelled turtle to defecate with warm water, clean the intestines, and discharge the residual feces in the body to avoid causing intestinal diseases for a long time. If the turtle stops eating for half a year, it will live on these fats. If the tortoise is too thin, eating poorly, or too small, heat it for the winter and adjust the temperature to 28 degrees. If it is not heated, the tortoise will eat normally.

The real hibernating method is to spread thick wet sand in the container and cover it with newspaper balls. The tortoise will sleep in the sand by itself and replenish water once a week to keep the sand and newspapers moist. Hibernation is a test for raising turtles at home. First of all, you should make sure that your baby is healthy and free from diseases. Tortoise with poor constitution must not hibernate. Little turtle suggests not to hibernate, winter is very sad! You can prepare some sand for the hibernating turtle, but if it can't climb in, don't bury it by force. Soft-shelled turtles that don't hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water and covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep them moist, which also has a certain heat preservation effect. Turtles who hibernate in the sand should make sure that the sand is clean and pollution-free. Keep the sand moist during the hibernation of turtles. The tortoise may wake up during hibernation, so make sure it doesn't climb where you can't find it after waking up. In addition, turtles who wake up from hibernation must not be fed.

When the temperature drops below 13℃, it begins to hibernate. Throughout the wintering period, the head, tail and limbs retract into the shell, close your eyes, and do not eat, move or excrete until they emerge from the sting. If the environment does not adapt, it is difficult to enter a dormant state. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1- 10℃. Above 10℃, it is easy to wake the turtle, which will consume physical strength and lead to the decline of the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during hibernation can also lead to the death of turtles. Temperatures below 0℃ will frostbite turtles and even freeze to death. Therefore, the possible temperature changes must be considered when setting the hibernation place for turtles artificially.

1. Raise with soft water (i.e. boiled water)

2. Give it nutritious food (fish, shrimp, raw pork).

It is best to change water immediately after feeding, especially when feeding pork. Pork soaked for a long time will form an oil film on the water. If the turtle is soaked for a long time, it will be bad for the eyes. You will see a white film on its eyes. Just give it some eye drops at this time. If things don't get better, remember to take him to see a doctor! )

Don't let it soak in water all the time, just put it in half of its body.

5. Change the water once a day.

6. It's important to stick to it every day and cultivate feelings!

7. When you are free, bask in the sun with him or let him swim in a big water tank. ...

8. When changing water, remember to rinse it with water. If the water quality is not good and there is a strong smell of bleach, it is best not to use it.
