1. Why is it difficult to raise Australian tortoises Australian tortoises have high requirements on water quality. If the water quality is too poor, they will have skin rot, and if it is serious, it will also lead to bacterial infection, thus causing life danger. If breeders want to avoid the problem of rotten skin, they should pay special attention to the water quality of feeding. When changing water at ordinary times, don't use tap water just taken out. It's best to take it out a few days in advance and expose it to the sun for a few days, which can effectively remove harmful substances in the water. In the process of feeding, it is best to clean up food residues and feces after each feeding. If conditions permit, filter pumps can be installed to ensure clean and refreshing water quality. If there is no filter pump, it is best to change the water every 2-3 days. If there is a filter pump, it can be changed every 3-4 days.
2. How to raise Australian tortoises is easy to liveBesides paying attention to water quality, Australian tortoises should also pay attention to feeding and water temperature, so that they can survive better.
1. Adequate food: Food has a great influence on the tortoise. If breeders want them to live better, they should pay attention to the clean food they feed. If you feed some live bait and animal feed, you need to sterilize in advance to avoid infection. If plant feed is fed, it needs to be cleaned to avoid pesticide residues.
2. Appropriate water temperature: The tortoise likes a higher water temperature, and the breeder should keep the water temperature between 28-30 ℃ at ordinary times. If conditions permit, a heating rod can be installed to keep the water temperature constant. Usually in the process of breeding, we should pay attention to the temperature difference not too large, otherwise it will stimulate the round Australian turtle.
