There is a saying in the turtle breeding world: "Raising turtles is only lazy." "That's right, many turtles have actually lost their lives because they were overly tossed by their owners. Today, let's talk about how lazy people can be raised well and let your little pet grow up healthy and happy.

1. The habits of life of the turtle

Humans refer to cold-blooded animals, and their activity and appetite are affected by the temperature of their environment. In a warm environment, the long point will be more active and the appetite will increase; In cold environments, and long vacations, they will go into a dormant state, reducing activity and eating. Therefore, when we raise long farms, we should reasonably adjust their living environment according to the seasons and temperature changes.

Second, the three principles of lazy turtles

1. Don't toss them: Turtles don't like frequent environmental changes, so we should avoid disturbing them too much in our daily maintenance. For example, do not change the water frequently, move the position of the turtle tank, change the decorations, etc. Give them a stable living environment so that they can live with peace of mind.

2. Provide a suitable living environment: Although the living habits of the turtles are more casual, we cannot ignore their basic needs. Provide enough space for movement, clean water, suitable temperature, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid unfavorable factors such as direct sunlight and excessive temperature difference.

3. Feed them properly: The turtles don't eat much, but they can't be hungry. According to a person's body type and age, the amount and frequency of feeding should be reasonably arranged. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the nutritional balance of the food and avoid feeding expired or spoiled food.

3. Practical tips for lazy people to raise turtles

1. Choose the right turtle tank: The size of the turtle tank should be moderate, not only to ensure that the turtle has enough space to move, but also to facilitate our daily management. In general, the height of the turtle tank should be higher than her body length and wide enough for them to turn around. At the same time, it is also important to note that the material of the turtle tank should be safe and non-toxic.

2. Keep the water clean: Turtles live in water, and water cleanliness is essential for their health. We need to replace the water with new water on a regular basis and keep the water quality stable. At the same time, it is also important to avoid using detergents or perfumes that contain chemicals to avoid harm to cleaning.

3. Control the amount of feeding: Although the amount of food is not large, overfeeding can lead to problems such as indigestion and obesity. We need to arrange the amount and frequency of feeding according to her size and age. Generally speaking, adult turtles can be fed 0-0 times a week, and young turtles need to be fed more often.

4. Observe these states regularly: while avoiding excessive disturbances, keep an eye on their health at all times. It is necessary to regularly observe the appetite, activity, feces, etc. of water and food, and take measures in time if any abnormalities are found.

Fourth, the common problems and solutions of lazy turtles

1. What should I do if I don't eat?

This could be because her appetite is affected by the ambient temperature, or the food isn't palatable. We can try adjusting the ambient temperature, or changing the type of food, to see if the turtle improves.

2. What should I do if the turtle always shrinks in the shell?

This could be because she was scared or nervous. We can try to reduce the number of times we disturb them and provide a quiet, comfortable living environment where she can gradually get used to it and relax.

3. What should I do if the shell of the turtle becomes soft?

This may be because she is deficient in calcium. We can also indicate that there are some calcium-rich foods, such as small fish, small shrimp, etc., or add some calcium supplements to the turtle tank.

Raising turtles is not a complicated thing, as long as we follow the principle of "only sorrow is not broken", give them a stable and comfortable living environment, and reasonably arrange feeding and daily management, we can make them grow up healthy and happy.
