The green sea turtle is a kind of sea turtle, and its habits are quite different from those of ordinary turtles. Although they can be raised artificially, they are generally more difficult. First of all, their size is very large, the requirements for containers are very high, too small containers are not feasible. Moreover, they themselves live in the sea water, so when they are cultured, they need to regulate the environment and simulate the sea water environment, which is generally more troublesome. Therefore, their breeding is still relatively difficult.
1. Container: Green turtles are relatively large, so if you want to raise them in captivity, the first task is to prepare a large enough container for them. At least one water tank of more than 1 meter should be prepared. Aquariums are not recommended because they are generally not wide enough and they are more expensive.
2. Water quality: Because the green turtles themselves live in the sea water, it is not feasible to breed them with untreated tap water, which will lead to their inadaptability. Artificial feeding needs to simulate a seawater environment, that is, to adjust the salinity of water with sea salt.
3. Water temperature: In the process of breeding green turtles, water temperature is also a factor that needs special attention. Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature is about 25 degrees, and it is best to keep it around this temperature.
4. Feeding: Green turtles eat a large amount of food, so it is necessary to pay attention to the feeding problem. Meat, vegetables and fruits need to be properly matched. Meat includes small fish, beef, shrimp, loach, etc. Vegetables include cabbage, turnip, etc. Fruits include watermelon, apple and so on. Also need to pay attention to the frequency problem, can be adjusted according to its growth rate, 1-2 days feeding once.
5. Disease prevention: There are some common diseases that need to be prevented. For example, skin diseases, when symptoms are found, they need to be fished out in time for treatment. There are also parasites, which can be removed with special drugs if necessary.
