1. What is a donut turtle Donut turtles are turtles of the donut turtle species of the suborder Curved-necked Turtles, which are freshwater turtles, native to the United States or Mexico, and most of them live in streams, springs or lakes at their origin. Their carapace is relatively flat, and most of their body colors are olive or brown, with yellow or cream markings in circles, but the markings are different among different subspecies. The biggest feature of donut turtles is the pattern on their carapace, which looks like donuts one by one, which is also the origin of their name.
2. How to raise donut turtles1. Water temperature: Donut turtles have high requirements for water temperature, especially in their infancy. Breeders need to keep the water temperature above 28 ℃ when breeding young turtles. Adult doughnut turtles have lower requirements for water temperature, ranging from 25 ℃ to 26 ℃.
2. Water quality: Donut turtles like clean and refreshing water quality, and breeders need to change water regularly. However, they are sensitive to environmental fluctuations, so breeders can't change all the water, but only half of it can be changed at a time.
3. Feeding: Donut turtles do not require high food, so breeders can feed them with animal feed and plant feed. You can also choose a turtle food with higher quality and feed it properly.
4. Container: Donut turtles need a larger, deeper container, and it is better to have a land inside the container so that they can bask in the sun. Some green plants can be planted around the balcony, which can better simulate the native environment.
