1, space: The body size of the diamond turtle is not too big, generally speaking, it is only a dozen centimeters after adulthood. However, if the number of breeding more than one, they also need to provide sufficient space for their activities. Moreover, it is better to place a basking table inside the container, or place a large stone instead of the basking table, or set a land area in the container.
2. Feeding: In the process of breeding, special attention should be paid to the feeding problem. The diamondback turtle is a carnivorous turtle, so feed them mainly meat. The two most common types of food are small fish and shrimp, which can be fed after disinfection and mincing. If you really have no time at ordinary times, you can also feed some turtle feed appropriately. The interval of feeding can be controlled in 1-2 days.
3. Water temperature: The diamondback turtle has certain requirements on water temperature, which is kept in the most suitable water temperature range for their growth, and their growth and development are in good condition. Specifically, this range is between 26 and 28 degrees. In winter, they can hibernate, when the water temperature is about 5 degrees.
4. Water quality: Water quality conditions also need to be regulated. The diamondback turtle originally lived at the junction of the river and the sea, which is the special feature of this species. Therefore, it is impossible to breed them entirely with tap water at home. It also needs to add some sea salt to simulate the environment of their origin, which is more conducive to their growth.
The diamond turtle has a relatively high requirement for basking in the sun. If they are raised in captivity, they need to be exposed to the sun every day. The time of basking in the sun every day can be controlled at 1-2 hours. If it is cloudy, rainy and other natural light is not good, you need to use fluorescent lamps to supplement it.
