Money turtles (definite introduction)
Money turtles are what we often call third-line turtles The shell turtle has strong observational value and is also a good medicinal material. Therefore, it is a relatively economical turtle species and is raised by more people. The following is an introduction to the methods of raising turtles indoors.
1. Preparation and disinfection of breeding ponds
Gold turtle breeding The pool is built indoors and is generally a rectangular cement pool with an area of about 1.0 square meters to 10.0 square meters. The pool wall is 1.0 meters high to prevent turtles from escaping. The bottom of the pool and the inner surface of the pool wall are smooth. The bottom surface (2/3) of one end of the pool bottom is tilted at 15 degrees, and the water storage depth at the deep end is 35. Ocm arrangement, and place the drain outlet. After breeding gold turtles, some shelters are randomly placed in the pond to simulate the natural environment of the wilderness and allow gold turtles to grow in peace and comfort. Before raising gold turtles, completely disinfect the breeding pond with a bleaching powder solution with a concentration of 100 mg/L for 12 hours, then remove the liquid from the pond, and clean the remaining liquid in the dry breeding pond with dry water.
2. Raising young turtles
Adopt artificial growth and process The cultivated turtle hatchlings with a balanced body weight of more than 30g, bright, strong, quick response, and good physique should be stocked at a density of 3/square meter to 8/square meter. Common breeding ponds require the breeding of hatchlings with basically the same specifications, and they must rest their feet at one time and breed them in the same pond until the adult turtles are listed on the market.
3. Feed selection and feeding
Raising golden tortoises Feed is divided into two categories: animal feed and plant feed. Animal feed uses lean pork, animal offal, fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc., and plant feed uses bananas (peeled) and apples, etc. Feeding is mainly based on animal feed, and the second type of feed is used alternately. The number of feeding of animal feed is about 1/7 of the number of feeding of animal feed. From the investigation of the eating situation of Jincha's golden turtle, it can be seen that golden turtle likes to eat animal feed most.of lean pork and plant-based feed of bananas. The feed should be chopped when feeding. When the indoor temperature is below 25 degrees and above 30 degrees, feed once a day at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. The daily feeding amount accounts for 5% of the body weight of the turtle, and should be adjusted at any time according to the actual eating situation. The amount of daily feeding should be eaten within 1 hour after feeding. After 1.5 hours of feeding, remove any remaining bait and clean the feed table.
4. Use water sources and adjust water quality
Gold turtle breeding can Use clean river water, reservoir water, well water, and tap water as water sources, but it is best to expose well water and tap water to an outdoor pond for more than 2 days before use. During the breeding process of gold turtles, water quality needs to be adjusted by changing water. When the temperature is more suitable, change the water once a day. When the temperature is high in summer and autumn, change the water 2 to 3 times a day, change all the water in the breeding pond every time, and use a hose to spray water to clean the entire breeding pond; and use a shower to simulate artificial rain to increase the appetite of the turtle. . When the temperature is low in winter and spring, the water should be changed once every 2 to 3 days, and the amount of water changed should be equal to the entire pool water.
5. Arrange optimal light and temperature
Through artificial methods , hoist electric light bulbs above the breeding pond to adjust the light and temperature. During the day in summer and autumn, 25W~40W electric bulbs are used as light sources to improve the lighting conditions of the indoor breeding pool. The operation method is to turn on the lights for 8 hours during the day and turn off the lights at night. If the indoor temperature exceeds 32 degrees, start the indoor ceiling fan to lower the indoor temperature. When the temperature is lower than 25 degrees during the spring and summer, use a 40W~60W light bulb as a heat source for heating. When the temperature is around 15 degrees in winter, a 60- to 100-watt light bulb is used as the heat source, and the lights are turned on day and night, and the change range is maintained at 20 to 30 degrees.
6. Do a good job in disease prevention and control
To prevent money turtles If diseases occur during breeding, preventive measures must be taken. The specific drying method is: use 10mg/L bleaching powder solution or 2% salt water to soak the whole tank and shower the turtle body for 5 to 10 minutes every 2 weeks to prevent and treat rare bacterial diseases; soak or shower with thick seaweed Leave the turtle body alone for 5 to 10 minutes to prevent and treat the occurrence of big neck disease in turtles. Especially when it is found that the appetite of gold turtles has decreased and the behavior is slow, bathing the turtle body with concentrated seaweed extract for 10 minutes can improve the appetite of gold turtles and has a good disease prevention effect. Feed oxytetracycline bait once a week, that is, mix terramycin powder into the mashed lean pork, and add 1/5 tablet of oxytetracycline to each 100g hatchling.estimate. Place the golden turtle in an outdoor sand pool (pay attention to prevent escape) and bask in it once a week. It is better to bask in full sunlight between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning. In summer and autumn, bask in it for 20 to 30 minutes frequently, and in winter and spring. Repeatedly bask in the sun for 30 to 60 minutes. Basking on the back not only has a bactericidal effect, but also creates conditions for the transfer of vitamin D to the turtle's body surface, thereby enhancing the turtle's disease resistance.
