1. Space: When raising striped mud turtles, first of all, we should pay attention to the problem of space. In addition to providing sufficient space for their activities, they also need to simulate their living environment in the wild as far as possible. For example, they can plant a layer of aquatic vegetation where they mainly live, and put some stones in it.
2. Water temperature: It is also necessary to pay attention to the water temperature in the environment when raising striped mud turtles. The optimum range for their growth is between 24 and 31 degrees. They can stay in this range during their growth, and their development is good. They can also be heated in winter to prevent them from hibernating.
3. Water level: The striped mud turtle belongs to a kind of deep water turtle, so it is necessary to pay attention to regulating and controlling the water level when breeding. If the water is too shallow, it will make it difficult for them to turn over. When the striped mud turtle is still relatively small, it may not be very good at water, at this time you can place a stepping stone, generally no problem.
4. Water quality: Water quality conditions are also an important factor, and ensuring clean water quality is an important task. In order to do this, you need to change the water regularly, and you can also place filters and other tools, which can be used to clean up the surrounding water environment is relatively convenient.
In addition to the above water temperature, water level, water quality and other needs to be noted, there are two points to be done in the process of raising. The first is feeding. The striped mud turtle is a carnivorous turtle species, so they can be fed mainly meat when feeding them. The two most common foods are small fish and shrimp, as well as some insects and earthworms. The second thing to pay attention to is to bask in the sun, although it does not need to bask every day, but it is better to bask in the sun every few days, which is helpful for their growth.
