When the students returned to school, they found that the tortoise in the dormitory had only skeleton left. What should domestic turtles pay attention to?

Before leaving school, a college student in Wuhan kept a turtle on the balcony and prepared enough food for him. However, due to the epidemic, the student did not return to school for 8 months. When he returned to school, he found that the tortoise had only a skeleton left, which made people feel distressed. So what preventive measures should be taken to raise turtles at home? Details are as follows:

(1) turtle's activity area The turtle crawls slowly and looks lazy. The turtle's activity area can be set in a larger transparent glass jar or a larger basin. Put some sand in the glass jar and then pour some water. The water level should not be too high, so it is advisable to submerge the back. It is also necessary to build an island in the tank for turtles to rest. When the weather is fine, you can also put the turtle in the sun for a while. The time should not be too long, and 10 minute is appropriate. Too much exposure can also lead to the death of turtles. The activity area should be kept clean, and the water should be changed frequently to give the tortoise a comfortable environment.

Feeding the tortoise can eat a lot, but not too much. It is best to fix points and quantify. You can feed some rice, corn kernels, small fish and shrimps. Remember that the smaller turtle should cut the fish and shrimp into small pieces before swallowing. Hard foods such as corn should be soaked in water for several hours in advance to fully soften them. Before the tortoise hibernates, you can buy some turtle feed with balanced nutrition. Only by storing enough nutrition in the tortoise can we comfort hibernation.

(3) Care when sick When the tortoise is sick, it should be given proper care to make it recover as soon as possible. Common diseases include rotten nails of turtles, which are caused by bacterial infection. The affected limbs of soft-shelled turtle should be soaked and disinfected with disinfectant, and the active parts of soft-shelled turtle should be disinfected regularly. If necessary, antibiotics should be given according to veterinary requirements.

Turtles need careful feeding and care to grow up. Pay attention to whether the tortoise is healthy every day. If it is abnormal and treated in time, the little tortoise will accompany you for a long time.
