1. Reasonable feeding: Feeding is a key factor for breeders to make the yellow-headed side-necked turtle look beautiful. Breeders can use vegetables, fruits, aquatic plants, algae and other plant feeds as staple food, and then use small fish and shrimp as complementary food to feed. This will not only make them develop better, but also make their carapace more colorful. If you don't have time, you can choose a high-quality turtle food.
2. Clean water quality: Yellow-headed side-necked turtles have high requirements on water quality, because they all live in relatively clean water sources when they are in the wild, so they should also ensure clean water quality when they are raised artificially. It is best for breeders to change water twice a week, and half of the water can be changed each time.
3. Suitable water temperature: Yellow-headed side-necked turtles need a water temperature above 20 ℃ to survive, and breeders need to keep the water temperature between 22-28 ℃, so that they can live more comfortably and develop more beautifully.
2. How to raise the yellow-headed side-necked turtle to grow bigger1. Adequate space: If you want the yellow-headed side-necked turtle to grow bigger, the breeder must first prepare a larger container for them. Their growth speed is relatively fast, and breeders should prepare at least a container 2-3 times larger than their size.
2. Adequate food: In addition to space, they should be fed more nutritious food to ensure adequate nutrition when they grow and develop. Breeders can feed more animal feeds such as small fish and shrimps, and then match some plant feeds, so that their body size can develop bigger.
