What should I pay attention to when raising turtles? It's easy to raise turtles. The following is my personal summary.
1. living environment: remember never to use glass, because the tortoise has poor eyesight and can't see a layer of glass, and it will hurt itself if it hits it. Not too much water, just cover it with pebbles (tiny). Turtles sometimes eat pebbles to help digestion.
2. Hello: No, it's all made by businessmen. Cooked corn, feed fish when conditions are good. Twice a day.
Have a little personal experience to share with you! Change the water often, or the turtle will get sick. Turtles get 30 minutes of sunshine every day.
One thing, you must pay attention to. If you want to ask questions about turtles in the future, you'd better go to the turtles. In knowledge, the answer seems complete, but the part about raising turtles is not practical, and many of them are wrong. You will learn a lot in the turtle bar, where I come from.
I wish you happiness! Happy holidays! !
It's tiring to write so much ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ but it's worth it for the tortoise! !
Matters needing attention in raising turtles 1. A bigger washbasin will do, as long as the water doesn't reach the lower edge of his shell. Better put a stone. He can climb up.
2. It should not be tilted. How sad he is that you are leaning! ! !
3. What do you feed it with? Just eat raw meat and shrimp skin, feed the nematode conditionally, and drink the water from his own basin without adding water! So always change the water in the washbasin. Tap water to be dried.
4. Brazilian tortoise just bought it. Leave him alone for a while. It's best not to give feed, they don't like it.
Answer to the supplementary question: Go to the Brazilian tortoise pet forum! See 3 for the problem of changing water!
What should I pay attention to when raising turtles? Buy a turtle first and tell you the trick. Take a look. The shape of the turtle body should be beautiful, and the geometric patterns on the back of the turtle should be arranged neatly and orderly. Tortoise shell should be flat and oval, without defects. When the turtle crawls, the pace should be steady, and the abdominal armor should not touch the ground.
Two touches. Gently touch the turtle, the shell should be smooth and flat, without sticky objects and edges. When touching, * * * and limbs should be immediately retracted into the tortoise shell. The skin should not be too rough.
Try it three times. Put the selected tortoise in a glass jar alone, and then release the water. Generally, the ratio of water to turtle height is 3: 1 or 5: 1. If the tortoise sinks into the water, it is better to put in food, and the tortoise with a big appetite will swallow it immediately.
In fact, the tortoise is very docile and can accept any food. From the food point of view, they are easy pets to keep. But turtles need sunbathing, just like lizards. In addition, the turtle's body is close to a circle, its weight seems to be much higher than that outside, and it also has a lot of exercise. Generally, cages are often too narrow and more troublesome than other reptiles.
1. Food
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. Turtles need a lot of calcium, so they should be fed calcium-rich food. Recently, a special feed for soft-shelled turtle with balanced nutrition was introduced on the market, which can be safely eaten. In addition, carp feed and dog food are also very suitable foods. Occasionally feeding some fresh food such as boneless fish, snake meat and mice will definitely win the love of turtles. Feeding only fish and meat slices will cause malnutrition and need to supplement water-soluble nutrients. What is introduced above is the food provided for turtles who often live in water. For example, turtles who don't like plant food in water are not suitable for artificial feeding. Generally, leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables can be fed with nutrients. In order to feed nine official birds.
2. birdcage
Aquatic turtles can be kept in containers that can hold water, such as tanks. The tortoise is bigger than it looks and needs a lot of exercise, so it needs a bigger cage. The sink with an average side length of 60 cm is still too small, so it is best to keep it in a storage box for clothes.
3. Others
Turtles don't irradiate ultraviolet rays and can't use calcium. Compared with lizards, the facilities to prevent turtles from escaping are relatively simple. As long as there is water supply facilities and a cool place to rest, it is not easy to get heatstroke, and the way of sunbathing is relatively simple. If the calcium intake of young turtles is insufficient, the turtle shell will easily become soft; Insufficient intake of vitamin A may cause eyes to turn white. When the above phenomenon occurs, in addition to the problem of insufficient vitamin A and calcium, it may also involve long-term feeding of low-nutrient foods, insufficient ultraviolet rays and other problems, which may be due to the wrong feeding methods. We must carefully provide balanced food, sunbathe with sun lamps, and so on. , completely change the feeding environment.
What should I pay attention to when raising turtles? My Brazilian turtle is a teenage turtle, very smart. Summarize the following points, although experience is not necessarily the best answer, for reference only! 1. living environment: remember never to use glass, because the tortoise has poor eyesight and can't see a layer of glass, and it will hurt itself if it hits it. Not too much water, just cover it with pebbles (tiny). Turtles sometimes eat pebbles to help digestion. 2. Hello: If you don't, all the businessmen lie. Cooked corn, feed fish and shrimp when conditions are good (live, more can be frozen and fed next time). Once or twice a day. Feed more turtles, so you don't have to feed them every day. I can share my personal experience with you every other day! Change the water often, or the turtle will get sick. Turtles get 30 minutes of sunshine every day. Of course it's good to be in a good mood ~~O(∩_∩)O~
Are there any taboos in keeping turtles? You don't have to change it all the time to buy a vat, and the turtles can move with confidence. The cylinder wall is high to prevent it from climbing out. There is water and land. The water depth is three times the thickness of turtle shell. Sand and rain stones can be thrown at the bottom of the water, and several aquatic plants can be planted. Raise a few more small fish. Change the land. Buy a turtle tank, and there will be stairs and ground. If it is an ordinary fish tank, put a big stone. Nail it where it can get the sun. This is the simplest way to put it. If possible, you can buy an ultraviolet lamp, put it 30 cm away from the turtle box and irradiate it for 15-20 minutes every day. Buy a heating rod when it is cold and the temperature is low, and the temperature is 25 degrees.
Change water and wash sand every day.
Turtles are omnivores, and young people love meat. Can feed small fish, shrimp, pig liver, red worms, cockroaches and so on. Turtles usually eat in the water. Turtles love vegetarianism when they are old. They will eat aquatic plants. You can feed some vegetables. Too lazy to fiddle with those messy things, just buy a box of turtle food and eat it slowly. High-quality soft-shelled turtle food is rich in calcium, protein, fiber, fat, vitamins A, B 12, C, D3, E, and it is nutritious, so it is definitely not very delicious. Turtles must think so, too. Feeding in moderation, the turtle's digestive system is not very good. The tortoise is too small to feed too big shrimp, etc. Chop it up. When they finished eating, they fished out the leftover food.
When it is warm, you can put it in the sun 15 minutes or so. Be careful not to be exposed to the sun! The sunshine is best at 90: 00 in the morning and at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Regular exposure to the sun can supplement calcium and kill bacteria in the cracks of its shell.
Hibernation is very important for turtles. When the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it will probably end at 10 and start in March next year. Newborn turtles had better not hibernate in the first year, and sickly turtles had better not hibernate.
1. Insist on clearing the stomach: start supplementing nutrition in September, and stick to it. Stop feeding about two weeks before hibernation, and soak in warm water for defecation in the last three or four days to empty the intestines. All the above are necessary, otherwise the food left in the intestine will ferment and cause their stomach wall and intestine to rupture and die.
② Hibernation box layout: Use a large plastic storage box covered with thick soil. They will come in by themselves. Leave it for a few days and spray some water on the soil to keep it moist. 10- 13 degrees is the best hibernation temperature. Don't put it in the open air, it will freeze to death below 8 degrees. It is best to put it in the corner of the balcony. Let the temperature drop slowly, and don't let them suddenly feel cold.
③ Observe their situation at any time. Don't forget them! When the weather is warm, take the turtle out and put it back in its original place. Don't feed them for three days. Start feeding on the fourth or fifth day. They must have lost weight. Give them more food and make up for it? #653 10; What's the point? Knock on the grave? "ΡΑ? nbsp
8. Don't sleep:
Young turtles, weak turtles and turtles bought during hibernation should not be allowed to hibernate. Because they don't do intestinal cleaning before hibernation.
What if I can't raise it? I have no choice.
What should I pay attention to when raising turtles? A. Tortoise's behavior and habits: Tortoise is a kind of temperature-changing animal, which can't keep a constant body temperature, and is greatly affected by the environmental temperature. Too low or too high ambient temperature is not appropriate. Turtles are dormant in cold winter and hot summer, which are called hibernation and summer sleep. Turtles are extremely hungry. It doesn't matter if you don't feed them for ten days and a half, but not for too long. Of course, there are years when you don't eat or die. When the tortoise encounters external impact or enemy attack, it will quickly retract its head, tail and limbs into the hard shell to avoid injury. Terrestrial turtles can crawl on land and bear great pressure. Semi-aquatic turtles can crawl on land, have webbed fingers and swim in the water. Aquatic turtles are streamlined, their limbs are paddle-shaped, and they can swim in the water. The feeding habits of turtles can be divided into three types: herbivorous, carnivorous and omnivorous. Terrestrial turtles are mostly herbivores, feeding on plants, grains, fruits and vegetables, such as turtles. Flat-breasted turtles are mostly carnivores, feeding on other animals, such as fish, shrimp, mussels, snails, snails, worms or meat. There are herbivorous, carnivorous and omnivorous turtles in the subfamily Tortoise. B. turtle breeding management: the facilities and feed for artificial turtle breeding are relatively simple, but the management should be very detailed. 1. If the facility is for breeding purposes, buildings such as pools, sand for spawning and fences with a height of 50 cm can be built, or glass houses can be built as breeding rooms. If it is for ornamental purposes, it can be raised in wooden pots and glass containers with platforms. In addition, water (river water, well water, spring water or tap water after 3-5 days of contact), light and heat are also essential. 2. Take the turtle as an example for sex identification, and the characteristics are as follows: (1) The females are mostly tan or loess, and the males are mostly dark black; (2) The female turtle is large in size, narrow in front and wide in back, rough and thick in texture, with clear concentric rings on the shield, while the male turtle is small in size, wide in front and narrow in back, smooth and thin in texture, with unclear concentric rings on the shield; (3) The abdominal shell of the female turtle is straight and the tail is thick and short, while the abdominal shell of the male turtle is slightly concave to adapt to mating, and the tail is slender and the base is thick (the connector is at the base); (4) The female turtle has no peculiar smell, while the male turtle has a special smell. 3. The age is calculated by the number of concentric rings (annual rings) on the tortoise shell shield, and one ring is an annual growth period. Of course, different turtle species, the clarity of ring marks and whether there are ring marks during hatching will also affect the accuracy of age. Turtles generally have a long life span, which can be as long as several decades. According to records, there is a kind of turtle whose life span exceeds 1.50 years, so it has the eternal reputation of "Millennium turtle, Millennium turtle". 4. Careful and scientific management is an important link in artificial turtle breeding. The main measures are as follows: ① The water depth should be controlled to the extent that * * * can extend out of the water. Generally, swimming pool water is shallow in winter and deep in summer. Change the water once a day in summer and once every 3-4 days in spring and autumn. The temperature difference between water should not be too large, and generally half of the water should be changed; (2) Environmental temperatures such as water temperature and room temperature should be strictly controlled to maintain a relatively stable temperature (20 ~ 30℃) required for its activities. Too high or too low ambient temperature will affect the life of turtles; (3) Remove the food residue and dirt in the pool and glass container every day, and brush with a soft brush once a week to keep the water clean; (4) Generally, the hatched young turtles are carefully raised to a certain specification in a small pond (container) before being raised in a large pond to improve the survival rate. 5. Feeding turtles is small and convenient. Most of them are omnivorous. Usually you can give lean meat, small fish, shrimp, earthworms, mussels and snails. You can usually add some fruits and vegetables, but they should be fresh. Lean meat should be degreased before feeding. Generally 1 adult turtles are fed about 5 grams of food every day. Feeding time and frequency vary with seasons. In spring, the temperature is low, and turtles are less active in the morning and evening, so they can be fed at 8-9 am. In hot spring season, turtles don't like activities at noon, and they have to be fed at 4 ~ 5 pm. In spring and autumn, turtles eat less and can be fed less; Turtles eat more in summer, so they can give more. Food can be placed on the gentle slope of the pool or on the container platform. C. turtle culture technology: turtle grows slowly and has a long growth cycle. Generally, sexual maturity, mating and oviposition can be achieved at the age of112. The male turtle has an in vivo fertilization connector. Many turtles mate in the warm season and April when they start to move, and the spawning period is from May to August. Females lay eggs three or four times a year, and each time they lay several eggs in a hole, mostly at dusk or dawn. Before laying eggs, the female turtle climbs ashore, alternately digs holes in the sand with her hind legs and lays eggs in the holes. After laying eggs, cover the sand with your navel, leaving a small hole for the hatched turtles to climb out and then leave. Under natural conditions, young turtles can hatch within 50-80 days. The turtle egg is ... >>
Feng shui taboo for raising turtles? Turtle itself belongs to water, and people who raise turtles actually replenish water. People who want water can keep turtles, and people who don't want water don't keep turtles.
There are two ways to raise turtles. One is to put them in a specific environment, such as a fish tank or basin.
The other is to let the tortoise walk around the house. Turtles walking around are called "killing evil turtles" in geomantic omen. Why can turtles kill evil spirits?
It turns out that the turtle has turtle lines on its back. There are three squares in the center of the turtle pattern, representing the talents of heaven and earth, and there are 24 squares next to it, representing the twenty-four mountains, and 10 represents the ten-day stem. There are twelve squares at the bottom of the tortoise shell, representing the twelve earthly branches. Strangely, the layout of the tortoise shell contains all the codes representing the mysteries of the universe, so the tortoise is called one of the four spirits. Turtle was called Xuanwu in ancient times, and it was also called "Four Spirits" with "Qinglong", "White Tiger" and "Suzaku".
China people especially like turtles, because they have a long life span and can witness the rise and fall of the world for hundreds of years. Since ancient times, they have been regarded as symbols of longevity and good luck.
Turtles that move at home basically don't need to be fed, because they absorb microorganisms in the air. Turtles live long because they have strong vitality and can grow healthily without special care. If family members are not too jealous of water, keeping a turtle at home and letting it suck microbes is also one of the ways to improve home feng shui.
Pay attention to the placement of turtles: like dragons, turtles are one of the auspicious "four saints" and a symbol of longevity. Although the tortoise moves slowly, it can bear the burden of humiliation. When it is in danger, it will shrink its head, tail and limbs into thick turtle shells, so that even the fiercest enemy can do nothing about it, so it can finally tide over the difficulties. Therefore, when encountering some very special shapes, Feng Shui masters will use turtles to resolve and soften them, which is in line with the principle of Feng Shui that "evil does not correct and does not fight".
1, wooden turtle
If you put it indoors, or in the east and south, you should use wooden turtles.
2. stone turtle
If you put it on the railing outside the house, or in the southwest and northwest, it is appropriate to use a stone turtle.
3. Tile turtle
If you put it in a fish tank or in the north, it is more appropriate to use a tile turtle.
4, copper turtle
If it is placed on metal products, or in the west and northwest, it is appropriate to use copper turtles.
5. Live turtles
Live turtles also have the effect of ward off evil spirits. If you put glass jars or pottery jars in those sharp corners, store fresh water in them and feed turtles, it will not only beautify the indoor environment, but also achieve the effect of exorcism.
Note: Feng Shui is not suitable for raising Brazilian tortoises. From the biological point of view, the Brazilian tortoise grows fast, has high fertility and is easy to survive. If a large number of them are released into the wild for breeding, they will plunder the living resources of other creatures. Now the Brazilian tortoise has been listed as one of the most dangerous 100 invasive species in the world by IUCN. The life span of Brazilian tortoise is about 50 years, and its temperament is fierce, which does not conform to the views of "longevity" and "softness" in Feng Shui.
How to raise turtles at home, besides hibernating, pay attention to what turtles are put in shallow water. Water has no claws. If it's a little turtle, feed it. You can feed some shrimp skin to supplement nutrition. You can bask in the sun at ordinary times, but you can't command. If it is a turtle, you can feed fresh shrimp and fish. According to the size of the turtle, cut the shrimp and fish into small pieces. If your eyes are rotten, you can apply erythromycin eye ointment.
