Yunnan box turtles can be raised artificially, but the difficulty is relatively great, and they are not a kind of turtle that is easy to raise. Yunnan box turtle is extremely sensitive to the environment, and their resistance and immunity are not too strong, so once the environment is not suitable, it is easy to get sick, or even die, so the survival rate is not high when breeding. In addition, because the breeding of this turtle is relatively small at present, so there is not much experience for reference, it is not recommended that novice breeders breed this turtle.
1. Space: Yunnan box turtles are semi-aquatic turtles that prefer to live on land. To breed Yunnan box turtles, the container should be large enough. The area of that wat body and the area of the land in the container respectively account for half of the area, the land use sandy soil, and some green plants are planted on the sandy soil. Because this kind of turtle has a high requirement for the environment, it must maintain a suitable ecological environment.
2. Feeding: Yunnan box turtles are omnivorous animals. They like meat, such as earthworms, snails, fish and shrimp, as well as pork, beef and animal viscera. However, before feeding, we must first disinfect, wash and cut up before feeding. While feeding meat food, you can also feed some plant foods, such as plant stems and leaves, vegetables, melons and fruits. All in all, a combination of foods is best to maintain adequate nutrition.
3. Water temperature: Adjusting the suitable water temperature plays a key role in the growth and development of Yunnan box turtle. The best water temperature for the growth of Yunnan box turtles is 25-32 degrees, and only by maintaining a good and suitable water temperature can they grow and develop better.
4. Water level: Because Yunnan box turtles belong to semi-aquatic turtles, when breeding them, we should pay attention to the water level not to be too deep, just over the height of their back shell is more appropriate.
5. Prevention and treatment of diseases: Yunnan box turtles have poor adaptability to the environment, and their immunity and resistance are also weak, so special attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of diseases. Especially when it is relatively young, it is more likely to get sick at this time.
