1. How to raise
the Chinese tortoise 1. Water level: Although the Chinese tortoise is a terrapin, it is not recommended to raise it in deep water, because they live in shallow water in the wild, so raising the tortoise can cover the water.
2. Water temperature: The turtle likes a higher temperature, so the breeder needs to adjust the water temperature to above 25 degrees. If the water temperature is below 20 degrees, there will be a situation of stopping eating.
3. Water quality: The tortoise prefers new water. It is better for the breeder to change the water after each feeding. The changed water should not be the tap water just received, but the good water.
4. Feeding: Turtles like to eat fresh fish and shrimp meat, tender leaves of some vegetables, and fresh fruits. Breeders can also regularly feed some miscellaneous grains, such as corn, wheat, soybeans, etc. The feeding frequency of the tortoise does not need to be too high, and the tortoise can be fed 2-3 times a week.
5. Drying platform: Turtles prefer to bask in the sun, so breeders had better build a gentle slope or drying platform in the container to give them a place to rest and bask in the sun. The tortoise
is fertilized in the body, and the temperature needs to reach 20-30 degrees before mating. After the tortoise is in heat, the male tortoise will lie on the back of the female tortoise, and then insert the copulatory device into the body of the female tortoise, thus completing the mating. When laying eggs, the female turtle will choose a soft place to dig a hole, and after digging the hole, she will lie on the hole all the time, ready to lay eggs. After laying eggs, they will bury the eggs with soil and let them hatch by themselves.
