1. A few centimeters of grass turtles have just come out of their shells Generally, the shells of grass turtles are about 2-3 cm. Of course, there are also some larger varieties, and the body length of the shells can reach 3-5 cm. After grass turtles come out of their shells, they will have umbilical cords on their abdominal armors. Breeders need to put them on clean ground or vermiculite. After waiting for a few hours, their umbilical cords can fall off by themselves.
2. How to raise grass turtles just after they come out of their shells1. Disinfection: The umbilical cord of grass turtles will not fall off immediately after they come out of their shells. Breeders need to clean their abdominal nails with clear water and then disinfect them with normal saline. This can prevent them from infecting bacteria.
2. Water temperature: The turtle has just emerged from its shell and has poor adaptability to the environment. Breeders need to keep the water temperature at 25 ℃. If conditions permit, you can use a heating rod to keep the temperature constant.
3. Water quality: Newborn turtles need to live in clean and clear water, because their ability to resist diseases is poor, and bacteria are easy to breed when the water quality deteriorates. Breeders need to change their water every day to ensure that the water quality is clean.
4, water level: grass turtles are newborn and cannot move freely normally. Breeders need to control the water level below their carapace so that they can breathe quickly.
5. Feeding: Grass turtles are just born, and there are not many kinds of food they can eat. Breeders can feed them some broken fish, shrimp, egg yolk and lean meat first. Feeding newborn turtles should follow the principle of eating less and eating more. It is best to feed them once a day, and each time they are fed to 70-80% full.
