        Food Feeding       Tortoises need a lot of calcium, so it is best for the owner to feed them foods that contain a lot of calcium. Feeding only fish meat and meat slices will cause malnutrition and need to add water-soluble nutrients. Use leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables, and feed them with nutritional supplements. In addition, carp feed and dog food are also very suitable foods. Occasionally feeding some fresh food such as deboned fish, snake meat, mice, etc., will surely be loved by turtles.

       Living Environment        The turtle is a hibernating animal, if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, the turtle will move slowly, sometimes for several days. Don't move, as if dead. Now I would like to advocate to raise turtles indoors. If there is heating indoors, turtles rarely hibernate. Coupled with the nutrition of turtles fed by families, they can keep up with the nutrition, and they can keep alive in winter. Around 20 degrees is the turtle's favorite temperature range, allowing him to grow rapidly.

       Disease Prevention        The disease prevention of turtles is mainly sterilization, usually tortoises should be equipped with water filtering equipment, otherwise you need to change them frequently Water, the frequency of water changes is maintained at about once every 3 days. When busy, the water can be changed every five days, and only half of the water is changed at a time, which can protect the ecological balance of bacteria. The most common disease that turtles get is enteritis. Turtles have no vitality, eat less, and have smelly stools. Change the water frequently, keep the food clean and not spoiled, and let him cultivate for a few days.


       Water volume: If the turtle is always in deep water In this case, the tortoise will easily become inactive and will not move a step every day. The amount of water is generally to ensure that the turtle can submerge the shell in deep water and expose its head in shallow water.

       Light: Turtles need regular light, which makes it more troublesome to raise turtles, especially small turtles. If there is a lack of light, the small turtles will suffer from various diseases.

       Cage: Aquatic turtles can be raised in containers that can hold water, such as water tanks. The actual size of the turtle is larger than it looks, and the amount of exercise is also large, so a larger cage is required.

       Disease Prevention: Regular water changes can effectively prevent the growth of germs. There are special disinfectants sold on the market for disinfecting fish tanks. You can use them for turtles, just spray them into the water.
