The musk turtle is a relatively easy animal to raise. First of all, because they are omnivorous, can eat a wide variety of food, they are not picky eaters, very easy to feed. In addition, they are very cold-resistant turtles, the water temperature requirements are not very high, usually do not need to adjust the water temperature, low water temperature will not have much impact on their growth. Moreover, they do not have too high requirements for water quality, disease resistance is relatively strong, not easy to get sick.
However, when the musk turtle is relatively young, it is relatively sensitive to the environment. If the environment is not suitable, it may get sick. Therefore, during this period, you can pay special attention to it, and basically there will be no problem.
1. Container: Creating a suitable environment is helpful to promote the growth of musk turtles. First of all, there should be an aquarium, in which there is a drying table or a relatively large pebble, on which they can bask in the sun or play, and grow better.
2. Feeding: If you want them to grow fast, you need to pay special attention to feeding. Musk turtles are typical omnivorous animals, but animal feed contains the most nutrients, can be fed mainly meat. At the same time, feed the stems and leaves of some plants.
3. Sunning: Most species of turtles need to be sunned regularly, and so do musk turtles. Proper sunning can promote their growth and development. Especially in the absorption of calcium, the sun is very helpful.
4. Water quality: When raising musk turtles in captivity, you must keep the water clean so that it can help them grow faster. If the water is too dirty, it will hinder their growth. If conditions permit, it is better to have a biochemical filtration system and change water regularly.
5. Water temperature: Keeping the water temperature suitable can promote the musk turtle to grow faster. Specifically, the water temperature is 20-28 degrees is the most appropriate.
