The eastern tortoise is a kind of tortoise originally produced in North America, and later introduced into other countries. In our country, they can be kept at home as pets. The difficulty of breeding them is not too great, and it is a kind of tortoise with moderate difficulty. Eastern brocade turtles will have a certain ability to adapt to the environment, but the requirements for some factors are relatively high, such as water quality, light and so on, which need to be paid attention to in the process of breeding.
1. Space: The size of the eastern painted turtle is not particularly large, so it is enough to prepare an aquarium with moderate space to raise them. However, if the number of aquaculture is relatively large, the container is also required to be larger. In the container, some pebbles need to be placed and some aquatic plants need to be planted.
2. Feeding: Eastern turtles are omnivorous turtles, but they are more interested in meat when they are in the juvenile stage; When they are adults, they are relatively interested in vegetarianism. The main types of meat are fish and shrimp, snails, insects and so on, vegetarian types are algae, aquatic plants and other aquatic plants, if raised at home, you can also feed some vegetables. What they are fed can be adjusted as they age.
3. Water quality: The eastern tortoise also has certain requirements for water quality. Ensuring good water quality can make them healthier and grow faster. If necessary, place a filter in the container so that you don't have to change the water so often afterwards. Every time you change the water, you can change about one third.
4. Sunning: The eastern tortoise also has certain requirements for sunning, and needs to be allowed to bask in the sun regularly. If the usual light is not very good, you can add some artificial, incandescent lamp, ultraviolet lamp can be used.
