Hello everyone, my name is Cangpai. [Follow] me to learn more knowledge and skills about raising turtles. Your attention and likes are my biggest motivation! Many turtle lovers must be confused as to why the seedlings they buy always die suddenly and the mortality rate remains high. Therefore, they are always on the way to buy turtles, especially some expensive egg turtles, which cost a lot of money. With little money and energy, the turtle keeps dying like a curse. Today I will share with you my method of raising seedlings. I hope it will be helpful to players who want to raise seedlings.

The most troublesome problems in raising turtle hatchlings are: Refusing to eat, getting sick, drowning. First let me talk about food refusal. There are many reasons for refusing to eat, the most common of which is stress. It takes time for turtle hatchlings to adapt to a new environment after long-distance transportation. The first thing we have to do is to create an environment for turtle hatchlings to adapt quickly. Based on my climbing experience, I will prepare a container the same size as a lunch box (choose pure white or pure black for the container). The small environment is conducive to the turtle hatchlings quickly adapting to the environment. Some turtle friends put a small turtle hatchling in it. In a large container, it looks like a large body of water, but it is actually very detrimental to the turtle hatchlings. The larger the container, the more time the turtle hatchlings need to adapt, and the easier it is to cause stress to the turtle hatchlings. Therefore, it is recommended that only one turtle hatchling be used. Small container.

Furthermore, put a longan leaf in the container for shelter, and then increase the water level to just cover the turtle's back. Then walk away silently, don't scare the turtle seedlings, the turtle seedlings are familiar with the new water. The environment takes about 5-7 days. Furthermore, before the turtle seedlings grow up, try not to play with the turtle seedlings or turn the turtle pond, and you must have enough patience in all operations.

Second, let’s talk about the problem of turtle seedlings getting sick. The main reason why turtle hatchlings get sick is the temperature difference. If the turtle hatchlings are exposed to normal temperature, it is very easy to cause turtle hatchlings to get sick. Therefore, an easy-to-use and reliable heating rod is an indispensable tool for raising hatchlings, but special attention must be paid to it. Yes, if you use a heating rod, it is best to add a lid to the top of the container to ensure that the air temperature and water temperature are as consistent as possible. If you have the conditions, you can buy a thermostat and place the nursery container in the thermostat for breeding. A more secure approach.

Thirdly, let’s talk about the problem of turtle hatchlings drowning. The water level for raising seedlings should reach a level that just covers the carapace. If the water level is too deep, it will consume the seedlings' physical strength and cause slow growth. On the other hand, if the water level is too deep, they will be exhausted and may die from choking or suffering from pulmonary edema. Also, be sure not to set up an environment that is too complex, just keep the water level at the same height. In addition, do not place (sunken) wood and other objects in the nursery environment to avoid getting stuck in the seedlings and causing them to drown.
