Generally speaking, snapping turtles have strong vitality, are neither afraid of cold nor heat, and can grow safely and normally at -6-42℃. Therefore, there is no need to be too demanding on the breeding equipment. Generally, pots, pots, small ponds and fish tanks are suitable for raising snapping turtles.
It is worth noting that if it is a newly-built cement pool, it must be cleaned with clean water and dried for about 5 days before it can be put into use. A layer of clean sediment with a thickness of about 30 cm should be laid at the bottom of the pool, and fences should be made to prevent snapping turtles from fleeing.
Although snapping turtles are amphibians, unlike other turtles, snapping turtles prefer to live in water. Therefore, when feeding, food should be put in water or at the water's edge. Under the condition of artificial feeding, snapping turtles have low requirements for bait, and can generally feed livestock and poultry viscera and cheap vegetarian food.
The suggested feeding time is 9- 10 in the morning and 3-5 in the afternoon. When feeding, the water temperature can be controlled at around 20℃, and the appetite will be better at this time. In addition, the feeding of snapping turtles should be reduced in early spring and late autumn, and the water should be changed on the second or third day after feeding.
