Turtle 1 and grass turtle are suitable for beginners to raise turtles.
Amphibians, omnivorous, can eat breadworms, fish and shrimp, and also eat fruits and vegetables. They are easy to breed artificially and have strong adaptability to the environment. At present, the market price is low, and they are the easiest turtles to get started except Brazilian turtles. It is suggested that most novices choose grass turtles without experience in raising turtles. Please try to choose a big and strong turtle when buying. It is worth noting that the turtle grows slowly and is very suitable for raising in small glass tanks and artificial rockery ponds.
2. Brazilian tortoise
At present, the turtle species flooding in China can buy five or six centimeters of seedlings for a few dollars, and their habits are similar to those of grass turtles. It should be noted that Brazil should be kept in glass jars or zygotes, not soaked in water. The depth of water is based on the turtle's back. My family in Brazil has been hungry for several years and has become a biscuit turtle. Hehe, crabs and fish have been fed fiercely recently, and the meat has begun to swell and squeeze out from around the shell.
3. Yellow-edged turtle
Beautiful appearance, good interaction and omnivorous food are the reasons why this turtle is popular. Although the price is high, it is still relatively easy to raise. It is suggested that novices can learn to raise yellow edges after raising grass turtles to a certain extent, and it is best not to raise turtles that have not been touched. Anyone who dies on the yellow side will be very sad.

Feeding method of grass turtle 1 Feeding environment
The breeding environment of water turtles should be large and high, suitable for glass jars, plastic water tanks or water basins. The big one can be suitable for tortoise activities, and the tall one can prevent the tortoise from escaping. But it varies from person to person, and the tortoise has good adaptability. As long as it is not too small and exaggerated, it can live well. The height of water should be about 2-3 times that of turtle shell. It is also necessary to put a relatively large stone or sinking wood in the water, preferably protruding from the water surface, so that the tortoise can climb up and rest in the sun. It is also easy to tilt the feed.
2. Water
If the water is dirty, it should be replaced immediately. Chlorine should be added to the changed water overnight, and some salt should be disinfected. If you feel troublesome, you can go to the aquarium to buy a "chlorine disinfectant". When changing water, put the turtle in a safe place to avoid choking. You don't have to change it completely every time. Depending on the cleanliness of the water, local replacement can be selected. Containers and articles for raising turtles should be cleaned. It is recommended to disinfect frequently.
3. the sun
If you have no time, you can sunbathe the tortoise once a week. Sunbathing is mainly for turtles to synthesize vitamin D and promote their absorption of calcium. The VD produced by turtles is accumulated by sunbathing. Sunbathing is very important. The turtle's environment must be bright. When basking in the sun, it is best to put the turtle in a container filled with water, and the height of the container is just enough to cover the turtle shell. Sunbathing lasts for half an hour/day to 2 hours/week. You can watch the tortoise while basking in the sun, so as not to have anything wrong. If you don't have time, you can cover one side of the container with an opaque plate so that the turtle can go to the shade to enjoy the cool when it is too hot. But there is water, which basically rules out the possibility of drying.
4. food
The turtle's food is mainly meat, and it is generally fed with fish, shrimp and a small amount of lean pork. It is better to be diversified. Feed fish can go to the aquarium to buy "feed fish", which is very cheap. 1 yuan can buy a lot. Eat less pork, because fat is high! You can also buy special turtle feed, which is quite expensive. Feeding food once a day is enough until you are full. Don't feed anything else. Cockroaches in cities have a certain degree of pesticide residues in their bodies, and turtles will accumulate them after eating them (for friends who will catch cockroaches for turtles at home).
5. Safety
Don't always play with turtles. A turtle is not for you to play like this. Just touch its head a little. Go to see the elementary school composition "Pearl Bird". Take care of the tortoise, even if it is too savage. Don't put the turtle on the balcony or high, or you will get hurt, serious death, light shock (may lead to not eating or being afraid of people). If you don't have time, you'd better keep two turtles. Tortoise is also a life, and it is also afraid of loneliness.
6. Sleep management
There are two choices in winter.
1. If it is a water turtle, it can hibernate directly in the water. 1 change the water once a week. You can also let it hibernate in a quiet and dark place. Before hibernating, check whether the tortoise is healthy, such as strong limbs, able to support the limbs when crawling, and without wounds. When hibernating, the temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise it will be life-threatening. So you can choose to hibernate the turtle in a slightly wet towel. I always do.
It is very simple to raise turtles with heating. Just go to the aquarium and buy a heating rod. However, it is suggested that incandescent lamps can be installed on the turtle box to raise the air temperature or cover the turtle box, because turtles can easily get respiratory diseases such as colds and even pneumonia if they inhale too much cold air.
If the tortoise suddenly wakes up during hibernation, don't feed it, otherwise it may cause indigestion and gastroenteritis, and it will die after a long time.
