1. Can the air conditioner be turned on when raising turtles in summer?

You can turn on the air conditioner when raising turtles in summer, but you need to pay attention to maintaining a constant temperature and avoiding direct blowing. The key to raising turtles is not to allow the air conditioner to fluctuate hot and cold, but to maintain a constant temperature, such as controlling it at 28°C and maintaining it at this temperature. At the same time, make sure that the area where the turtles are kept is not facing the air-conditioning outlet to prevent the turtles from catching cold. In addition, the water temperature and equipment temperature in the breeding area must be ensured to maintain a suitable breeding environment.

2. Can I raise turtles if I have not used filtering for a long time?

For turtle breeding enthusiasts who do not have equipment such as filters, basking lamps, and heating, if the turtles still remain healthy after several years of breeding, it means that the current breeding method is feasible. However, in order to better raise turtles and the natural conditions are insufficient, it is recommended to gradually introduce equipment such as basking lamps, filters, and heating rods to provide a more comprehensive breeding environment.

3. Is it good for turtles to eat turtle food for a long time?

It is completely feasible to eat turtle food for a long time, especially if you choose turtle food that is high-quality, nutritious and safe. In contrast, feeding methods such as fish, shrimp, and insect meal have many safety risks, such as digestive problems, gastroenteritis caused by temperature differences, food perishability, and bacterial infections. In addition, the nutritional content of these foods may not be scientific and balanced enough. Therefore, from the perspective of nutrition and safety, long-term feeding based on turtle food is acceptable.
