The withered leaf turtle is a kind of aquatic turtle, and they are a kind of relatively ancient reptile. Their appearance is more peculiar, ornamental, can be used as pet turtles breeding at home. They are one of the better turtles to raise. Because they are omnivorous, better feeding, all kinds of food can eat, not picky eaters. In addition, their adaptability to the environment is also good, and their resistance to disease is relatively strong. In addition, their self-protection ability is relatively strong, they have a relatively hard shell, which can protect themselves.
However, in order to make them grow faster and develop better, there are still many problems that need to be paid attention to when breeding. Specifically, feeding, water temperature and other factors need attention. Moreover, when the withered leaf turtle is in the juvenile stage, its resistance to disease is relatively not very good, so it needs more attention to ensure that the environment is suitable.
1. Feeding: Feeding has a great impact on the growth rate of the withered leaf turtle. Dead leaf turtles are carnivorous turtles, mainly aquatic invertebrates and worms, fish and shrimp, snails and so on as food. They also eat the stems and leaves of plants. Therefore, when feeding can not only choose one, meat and vegetarian food are needed, mainly meat.
2. Water temperature: Water temperature also affects the growth rate of the withered leaf turtle. The average temperature for raising withered leaf turtles is 20-25 degrees.
3. Sunning: Proper sunning is of great help to promote the growth of dead leaf turtles, because light can promote the absorption of nutrients by dead leaf turtles, such as calcium, vitamins, and so on.
4. Water quality: Water quality also affects the growth and development of the withered leaf turtle. In order to make the dead leaf turtle grow fast, it is necessary to ensure good water quality. Regular water change is an important aspect, and a filter can also be placed in the container to purify the water quality.
