Many times our every move has a certain impact on pets, so we must pay more attention when taking care of pets, and we must find the right way to raise them to avoid adverse effects on their bodies. . So let’s take a look at what you need to pay attention to when raising turtles.

1. Food

It goes without saying that staple food , whether in the wild or at home, feed fish and small fry are recognized as the best staple food. 1-3CM is the best. Of course, it also depends on how big the turtle fry is. One principle is that it can be eaten without effort. Secondly, small loaches can also be used as staple food. , the nutrition is also good, and then paired with better quality baby turtle food. Comprehensive nutrition is king, just pair it with chicken, beef, and shrimp.

2. Feeding frequency

Let’s talk about seedlings first. In summer, when there is no need to heat, the temperature is high and digestion is faster, so summer is the best time for seedlings to grow. If you feed it every day, 70% is enough;

If you don’t know how much 70% is, you can feed it to fullness at one time. Remember the food amount, and just reduce it next time. If you feed it every two days, you can feed it until it is full. Eat as much as you want, but order as little as you want. Too much food can be dangerous. Miaozi recommends not feeding them once every three days. After all, they need nutritional growth. For Yacheng, 2-3 times a week is more reasonable.

The temperature will drop a bit in autumn. Without heating, it is recommended to feed once every 2-3 days. It is better to choose the feeding time when the temperature is higher that day, which is better for digestion. Avoid early in the morning and midnight For feeding, it is better to be hungry than to feed. Yacheng once or twice a week is more reasonable. In some places where the temperature is low, you can choose to feed under heating. The temperature setting is 25-29, which is more suitable. The feeding frequency can be separated by one day.

It is a good idea to heat the seedlings in winter, safety first. , the temperature is also 25-28, the feeding frequency should be appropriately reduced. Although it is heated, it should not be excessively promoted. Growing too fast may not be a good thing. As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work, and a good turtle is made slowly.

3. Hibernation

For seedlings of about 5 cm, you can also choose natural hibernation. As long as they are healthy individuals, there is generally no problem. If there are diseases, it is recommended to heat them. The hibernation temperature is between 1 and 12 degrees Celsius. When the temperature does not change much, put it in a box and add a lid. Remember to poke holes for ventilation.

4. Regular disinfection and cleaning

Regular disinfection, disinfection, and cleaning of turtle-raising equipment and containers will be beneficial to the healthy growth of turtles.
