Stone Turtles
Of course, the price of stone turtles is very different from that of gold turtles. , but the lower price also reduces the investment risk of many farmers. Furthermore, since you have raised this kind of turtle, you should work hard to raise it well, and do not have a disdainful attitude toward it because of its price. So let’s talk about four things you should pay attention to when raising stone turtles.
1. Do not expose to the sun. Stone turtles are aquatic turtles and are not as drought-tolerant as land turtles. Of course, they also need sunlight, because the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight help synthesize vitamin D and the absorption of calcium by bones, and can also kill bacteria. In addition, sunlight can also increase the body temperature of turtles, promote metabolism, and help digest food. However, the need for sunlight does not mean that it can be exposed. Some people thought it was time to give the turtles some sunshine, so they basked them in the sun. In fact, the best way is to breed turtles in a place that has both shade and direct sunlight, so that the turtles can choose freely. Whether sunlight is needed or not, turtles will naturally search for it without human intervention.
2. Don’t overfeed. When you feed the stone turtles, some of them seem to be unable to eat. This is because these turtles still maintain their original nature, that is, food is not available all the time when living in the wilderness, so their nature is to eat desperately if they see food. However, this will definitely damage the turtle's digestive system in the long run. So please don't overfeed. If possible, eating smaller meals more often is a good choice.
3. Don’t change the water too often. Although changing the water too frequently can keep the water clean, it can frighten or disturb the turtle due to frequent water changes. Moreover, most of the current breeding sites use tap water, so various chemicals in the tap water will also cause irritation to the turtles. This point is particularly worthy of attention when it comes to breeding stone turtle seedlings.
4. Do not choose an overly transparent turtle pond. Many people may not have many stone turtles to breed, so they use glass tanks to breed stone turtles. In fact, the glass tank is not a good choice. Although it is convenient for observation, it is difficult to let the stone turtle understand that glass is a transparent material. Therefore, it is easy for the stone turtle in the glass tank to rub against the tank. . It is best to provide a hiding place for the turtle. It is the nature of animals to assume that their location is safe if they cannot be seen. Even if you want to breed stone turtles in a glass tank, the finalIt is also best to cultivate some aquatic plants or build some large wooden rockeries in the tank.
