1. How long does the turtle ink? Normally, the turtle begins to ink when it is an adult. However, in artificial breeding, the breeding environment and feeding methods are different, so their inking time is also different. According to the normal situation, grass turtles usually start to ink in about 5 years. The phenomenon of grass turtle ink only exists in male turtles, but not all male turtles will appear ink. Only male turtles carrying ink genes will appear ink in adulthood.
2. How can grass turtles ink1. Choose dark turtles: As mentioned above, only male turtles can ink. Breeders need to select some dark male turtles when selecting, so as to increase their chances of ink.
2. Restore the wild environment: If you want grass turtles to ink faster, you can adjust their living environment. Breeders need to restore the wild environment as much as possible, such as creating an amphibious environment for them and planting some aquatic plants or other plants on land. Keep the water temperature at about 25 ℃ to ensure clean and dry water quality.
3. Feed enough food: Grass turtles also need a lot of nutrition when they are inked. When they are inked, breeders need to feed them more foods with higher nutritional content. For example, small fish, shrimp, loach, snail, tadpole, lean meat, etc., and some foods rich in trace elements, such as lettuce, rape, apple, banana, carrot, etc.
