There are many reasons for the stiff seedling of snapping tortoise, most of which are caused by improper feeding:
1. Insufficient space: The space for feeding is relatively small, which will cause stiff seedling. Although Buddha crocodile turtles are not as big as big crocodile turtles, their body length can reach 38-66 cm in adulthood. If breeders use smaller containers to breed them, they will have insufficient space for activities, and stiff seedlings will appear after a long time.
2. Feeding less: It is also possible that the stiff seedlings of crocodile turtles are fed too little or the frequency is too low. Some breeders will feed food once a week or even several weeks, and if they feed less food, it is easy to have stiff seedlings.
3. The water temperature is too low: The stiff seedlings of snapping turtles may also be caused by the low water temperature, because they like the higher water temperature. If they live in a low temperature environment for a long time, they will develop slowly or stiff seedlings.
2. What should I do with the stiff seedlings of snapping turtle1. Change the big fish tank: If it is because of insufficient feeding space, you can change the container to provide them with sufficient space, so that the stiff seedlings can be well alleviated.
2. Increase feeding: If it is because less food is fed, it is necessary to add a small amount of high-nutrition food first, and after they adapt, they can be combined with some plant feed to avoid stiff seedlings.
3. Raise the water temperature: If the water temperature is too low, the breeder needs to keep the water temperature at about 25 ℃. If conditions permit, they can be raised at a constant temperature to prevent them from hibernating, which can also alleviate the problem of stiff seedlings.
