The striped mud turtle is a small ornamental turtle species, and it is more suitable for them to be raised at home, so many breeders regard them as their pets. The striped mud turtle has certain requirements for the environment, but it is not particularly harsh, so it is a kind of turtle with moderate difficulty in breeding, and even novice breeders can try to breed it. In the process of breeding, if we want to make their growth speed fast and ornamental effect good, we also need to pay attention to many problems. For example, feeding, water temperature, water quality and so on are more important aspects.
1. Containers: When raising striped mud turtles, a suitable space environment is very important for them. Because the turtles are aquatic animals, they can be raised in containers that can hold water, such as glass fish tanks or tanks, in which some aquatic plants and pebbles can be placed, which is conducive to their growth and ornamental.
2. Feeding: The striped mud turtle is an omnivorous turtle. It can eat a variety of foods, and it is never picky about what it eats. Generally speaking, food is divided into two categories: animal food and plant food. Animal foods are fish and shrimp, lean pork, insects and so on; They also like plant food, such as vegetable leaves, carrots and so on. In a word, we should feed a variety of foods alternately, and pay attention to the amount of feeding not too much.
3. Water temperature: It is very important to adjust the water temperature for the striped mud turtle. The change of water temperature directly affects their appetite and activity. The most suitable water temperature for their growth is 24-31 degrees. When the temperature is too low in winter, heating rods can be used to keep them at a suitable temperature so as not to hibernate; They can also be used without heating rods, and when the temperature drops to about 10 degrees, they will naturally enter a hibernation state.
4. Disease prevention and treatment: Disease prevention and treatment are very important issues during the period of raising striped mud turtles. Disinfect the aquaculture area regularly, keep the water clean, observe them regularly, and treat them in time if abnormalities are found.
