If you don't feed him for five days to a week, make him feel hungry, and then throw some loaches and let him hunt by himself. If you catch them, you can have a full meal. If you can't catch them, let him starve ... weigh yourself and feed him a normal meal once a week. This lasted for a month. When you put your finger in the water, he will definitely come to hunt. If it is big, the snapping turtle can feed him a whole cuttlefish. The process of his fishing is actually the process of training him to be fierce step by step.
Second, the breeding methods of snapping turtles in North America
1.? Water saving method
Crocodile turtles in North America are aquatic turtles. Besides breeding, it can stay in the water for a long time without going ashore. Land is dispensable for snapping turtles.
2. Calculation of water depth
Water level in the cylinder: Drain water at the height of 1 times to 1.2 times the length of the carapace, not too high, and deep neck breathing is needed.
3. Water quality
You should consider using a water quality filtration cleaning pump, and just clean the filter cotton once a week.
Step 4 season
Feed live food. The little snapping turtle hasn't grown up yet, so you can consider feeding the fish and insects, buying a fish and insect trap and putting it in the water for him to eat. When it grows to the size of a fist, it can be fed to small fry, small loach, small shrimp and several small fish. When it is hungry, it will catch fish by itself. When it first arrives in a new environment, it may not eat it. When it is familiar with the environment, it will catch food.
5. Breeding equipment
Buy a turtle tank with a platform, not too big, and don't let it catch a few laps of fish! But not too young. Because the jar is big and the space is big, the tortoise will grow up; The tank is too small, and the space is bound to be small, which limits the growth of turtles. Most turtles don't grow up for this reason. Don't forget to buy a bathtub with a matching filter cleaning pump and cleaning cotton. Give you pictures for reference:
