Besides turtle food, you can also get some grasshoppers, earthworms and snails for them to eat. Make sure the water is clean, because turtles excrete polluted water every day, so change the water frequently, or brush their backs regularly with a toothbrush to keep them clean. When choosing containers, be sure to choose large containers to facilitate their activities. In addition, map turtles like to bask in the sun, so they should place an object above the water surface in the turtle container.
can a map turtle be kept? Compared with other animals, a turtle has a long life span. The life span of the tortoise is determined not only by its own constitution, but also by whether the environment is polluted, whether the diet is adequate and hygienic, and whether the life is healthy. In a very polluted environment, the life span of the map turtle is very short. Many people who have raised map tortoises know that map tortoises grow very slowly and do not see any changes for months or half a year. Even in adulthood, map tortoises are not very big. Usually, male map turtles can grow up to 15 cm, while female map turtles can mostly grow up to 25 cm. In addition, the life span of the map turtle is much shorter than that of the sea turtle. Generally, it can only be raised for ten or twenty years.
