The turtle has been a symbol of mythical beasts since ancient times and is deeply loved by people. Currently in the pet market, turtles are also one of the more popular pets. Many turtle owners make mistakes when raising turtles. Here are the seven common "seven deadly sins" of raising turtles. How many of them have you fallen into?

The first sin: the turtle knows how to open the box when it comes home. Many people believe that turtles are low-maintenance pets that can live freely as long as they are provided with a large enough space. However, this idea is wrong. Turtles need a safe and comfortable living environment, including suitable temperature, humidity, light and food. Therefore, before raising a turtle, we need to be fully prepared, understand the turtle's living habits, and provide it with a suitable home.

The second sin: raising a turtle only requires water. Although turtles live in water, that doesn't mean they only need water. Turtles need a dry land environment to rest and bask in the sun. Additionally, turtles need the right temperature and humidity to stay healthy. Therefore, when we raise turtles, we need to provide them with an environment with both water and land, and ensure that the temperature and humidity are suitable.

The third sin: Afraid that the turtle will be lonely, find him a companion. Although turtles are social animals, not all turtles can coexist peacefully. When looking for a partner for a tortoise, we need to make sure they are compatible in terms of species, age, and temperament. Otherwise, unnecessary fights and injuries may result. Additionally, too many turtles may strain resources, affecting their growth and health.

The fourth sin: change the water once a day. While keeping the water clean is vital to your turtle's health, changing the water source too frequently can stress your turtle and affect its digestive system. Generally speaking, we should decide the frequency of water changes based on the water quality and the number of turtles, rather than blindly changing them every day.

The fifth sin: Feeding too much at once for fear of the turtle starving to death. A turtle's dietary needs vary by species and age, and too much or too little food can affect its health. We should understand the dietary needs of our turtles and feed them according to actual conditions. Avoid feeding too much food at one time to avoid waste and water pollution.

The sixth sin: turtle breeding settings must be in place. Many pet stores sell a variety of turtle equipment and decorations, but not all items are necessary. When raising turtles, we should choose appropriate equipment and decorations based on the actual situation and the needs of the turtle, rather than blindly pursuing completeness.

The Seventh Deadly Sin: Not knowing that you are raising a tortoise. Many people believe that all turtles are the same, but in fact, different species of turtles differ greatly in their living habits, dietary needs, and living environment. Before raising a turtle, we should understand the species of turtle we are raising in order to provide it with a suitable living environment and care.

Raising turtles is not a simple matter. We need to understand the living habits and needs of turtles and provide them with a safe and comfortable living environment. Avoid the above "seven deadly sins": 1. Know how to unbox the turtle when it comes home; 2. Only water is needed to raise a turtle; 3. If the turtle is afraid of being lonely, find him a companion; 4. Change the water once a day; 5. Afraid of the turtle being hungry. Feeding too much at one time; 6. You must have all the settings for raising a turtle; 7. You don’t know that you are raising a turtle. Only then can we take better care of the turtles and let them grow up healthily.
