Can Nile crocodiles be kept?

2021-10-15 / 1218 Read

The Nile crocodile can be raised, but requires a professional farm for feeding. Its feeding methods include group feeding and separate feeding:

1. Group feeding

Group rearing is based on the proportion of male and female crocodiles, usually 10 males and 20 females, or 20 males and 30 females, and are raised in large ponds. The advantage of this feeding method is that it occupies less land; the disadvantage is that crocodiles often fight for food, habitat, mates, and spawning grounds, which are easy to cause casualties, and the mating rate and fertilization rate are low.

2. Separation

Separation is 1 male and 1 female, or 1 Males and 2 females are kept in a pool. The advantage is that the fertilization rate is high, and it is easy to track, observe, manage and collect data; the disadvantage is that it covers a large area, requires a large investment, and has high feeding costs. Whether it is group feeding or separate feeding, the density should be reasonable, and the crocodile ponds should be divided into half by land and water. Keep the environment quiet and avoid distractions.
