1. Newbies to turtle breeding are best to choose tortoises and Brazilian turtles, which are easier to raise.
2. If the tortoise shell is found to be ulcerated, treat it immediately. If the ulcer is shallow, you can use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound, carefully remove the necrotic tissue, and then sprinkle potassium permanganate powder on the injured area. If the ulcer is severe, the wound is deep, and the muscles are severely exposed, do not use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound to avoid increasing the pain of the turtle.
3. After feeding the turtle every time, the turtle will poop at this time. Of course the water is dirty after pooping. So it’s best to change the water at this time. It is recommended to only change 2/3 of the water and leave some old water in it.
4. It is generally best not to bask in the sun at noon when the sun is particularly strong. The temperature at this time is too high and turtles do not like it. Morning is best, and the time is 15-40 minutes. You can place the turtle in a place with half sun and half shade to facilitate the turtle's choice.
5. The amount of water is generally slightly higher than the turtle's back, so that the turtle can breathe by extending its head. Especially for smaller turtles, there shouldn't be too much water. You can also place a flat stone larger than the turtle shell in the middle of the basin. Slightly above the water. It is a convenient place for turtles to rest when they want to go ashore.
6. Turtles are naturally shy. Don't bother the tortoise all the time. Let the turtle stay quietly and let it get used to the environment. When you put out food, go far away. Turtles will not eat in front of their owners at first. It will eat secretly. After a long time, the tortoise will get familiar with you, and then it will eat in front of the owner.
7. To feed the turtle, you can throw the food into the water, but do not put pebbles in the water where the turtle is fed. This is because it is necessary to prevent small pieces of food from falling into the gaps between the pebbles. Over time, they will rot and affect the water quality environment in which the turtle lives.
8. Raising turtles requires a large space, the breeding density should not be too crowded, and attention should be paid to the size and strength of the turtles. Because turtles can also eat the weak, in order to prevent turtles from fighting with each other, you should choose turtles of suitable size and similar abilities for breeding.
9. For hatchlings, the water temperature that hatchlings can adapt to is about 23-28 degrees Celsius. When the weather is cold, the air above the container should also be warmed, and adding a shade lamp to the breeding box will give you the best of both worlds. If the water temperature is still too low, you can set a heating rod in the water - the temperature can be adjusted if possible. It is particularly important that the hatchlings have the opportunity to be exposed to direct sunlight. The breeding box can be placed on the balcony or windowsill. If this is not possible, the hatchlings must be exposed to ultraviolet light once or twice a week for about three to five minutes each time. .
