The black-necked turtle is a relatively expensive species of turtle. They can be raised artificially, but the difficulty of breeding is relatively large. Black-necked turtles have certain requirements for the surrounding environment, if the environment is not suitable, their growth rate will slow down. If the environment is very bad, it may directly lead to their death. Therefore, there are still many problems to be paid attention to in breeding, especially when the black-necked turtles are still relatively young, because their resistance is not strong at this time, and they are prone to illness.
1, container: black-necked turtles are generally raised as terrapins, to prepare a large enough aquarium. Because this kind of turtle is poor in water, it is suggested that the water level should not be too deep, and a high ground at one end of the aquarium can be used to bask in the sun, some green plants can be planted on the high ground, and some aquatic plants can be placed in the water area. Maintain a good natural environment and provide a suitable breeding place for black-necked turtles.
2. Feeding: When breeding black-necked turtles, it is necessary to pay attention to the types of feeding and the amount of feeding. They belong to omnivorous animals, can eat more kinds of food, mainly including animal food such as earthworms, insects, fish and shrimp, but also can eat some lean pork and poultry viscera; There are also many plant foods, such as aquatic plants, fruits and vegetables. Meat and fruits and vegetables with feeding, feeding once a day, do not feed too much at one time, to avoid overfeeding.
3. Water quality: a suitable water quality environment is very important for black-necked turtles, and the quality of water quality directly affects their health and growth. Keep the water clean, remove food residues in time, and change the water regularly.
4. Sunning: Black-necked turtles like to bask in the sun very much. They can bask in the sun on time in the morning and evening. Try to avoid using the strong light at noon.
