I still remember when I first came into contact with turtles, I asked if they were easy to raise. The master said, I choose healthy turtles, I know a little bit about turtle medicine, they basically never get sick, and they are quite easy to raise. To raise a good turtle, the first priority is to choose a good turtle. The first is to identify the quality of the turtle technically; the second is to select the turtle species based on the difficulty of breeding; the third is to select the geography of the turtle species suitable for breeding in terms of breeding adaptability. The fourth is to find a reliable breeding unit from the source. Of course, some other factors cannot be ignored.

Due to the wide variety of turtles, the physical characteristics of many species are very similar. , but there are huge differences in living habits, growth rate, reproduction volume, meat production rate, taste quality and comprehensive value. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly distinguish between turtle species with the same name, different species, the same name, and similar physical appearance to avoid passing off inferior turtles as good ones.

In addition, first-time owners should choose conventional varieties that have a versatile diet and are easy to raise, such as Chinese tortoises, yellow-throated water turtles, eye-spotted turtles, yellow-margined box turtles, painted turtles, etc. Turtle raising friends with rich breeding experience and certain financial strength can choose rare species with strong ornamental value and high economic benefits, such as closed-shell turtles, ground turtles, etc. They should also pay attention to choosing species suitable for local breeding to avoid turtles getting wet and soiled. Failure to comply results in losses.

2. Choose a reliable breeding unit

First choose a unit with complete legal certificates. Since turtles are wild protected animals, a legal breeding unit should have four Documents: Industrial and commercial business license, tax certificate, wild animal domestication and breeding license, wild animal operation and utilization license. Be sure to verify these licenses at the time of purchase.

Secondly, choose units that can provide high-yield and high-quality turtle species and technical support. These units have good fixed breeding bases and have a certain scale.

Thirdly, choose a breeding unit with complete after-sales service. These technical services include abnormal death during breeding, injuries and deaths after stocking, and improper male and female matching during breeding. These technical services must be timely. At the same time, it can provide market information and provide relevant technical guidance. Such a unit can be trusted.

When introducing species, it is best to go directly to the breeding farm's pond to select them, so as to avoid incorrect purchases. Nice turtle.

Finally, please note that commercial turtles and smuggled turtles cannot be used as breeding turtles. First, commercial turtles with diseases, injuries, and defects cannot be used as breeding turtles; second, the quality of smuggled turtles cannot be guaranteed, and breeding turtles are not considered for the time being; third, smuggled turtles that have been transported over long distances have been bumped and squeezed during transportation. After , friction, dryness, starvation and suffocation, they may suffer great damage, their physical condition will be seriously reduced, and they may also carry various germs, causing harm to humans and animals. They cannot be selected as breeding turtles within 2 years. Fourth, they are not suitable for our country's breeding environment. Turtles smuggled overseas cannot be used as breeding turtles. Most of the turtles smuggled in are tropical turtles that are not adapted to our country's environment and have difficulty surviving. Even if they survive, the quality of reproduction is often not high.
