1. What is the reason for the small hole on the back of the turtle There is a small hole on the back of the turtle, which may be caused by rot, and there are many reasons for rot. But most of them are due to trauma or bacterial infection. For example, in the process of transportation, the carapace of grass turtles is squeezed, rubbed or collided, so their carapace will be injured and bacteria will take advantage of it. In addition, many breeders will place sunken wood, Stone, balcony, etc. in containers for grass turtles to play. When climbing, grass turtles may cause carapace injury, which will also cause carapace rot. There are no small holes in the early stage of rotten armor, but the color of the surface changes. When the rotten armor is serious, small holes will appear in the carapace. In the later period, small holes will fester and stink.
2. Can a small hole on the back of a turtle grow wellA small hole on the back of a turtle grow well, because a small hole on its back may be suffering from rot. As long as the breeder treats it in time, the small hole on its back can grow well. Although the small hole on the back of the turtle can grow well, it will also leave permanent scars, which cannot be removed under normal circumstances.
If you want to treat rot, you must sterilize them first. When treating, they should be fished out of the water first, put on the land for dry cultivation, then remove the blood or pus in the small hole of the carapace, and finally smear some potassium permanganate powder or crude salt. Apply it once a day and stick to it for one week, and the rotten armor can be cured.
