1. What are the signs before the turtle lays eggs 1. Irritable: The turtle will become extremely irritable and fierce before giving birth. They may crawl around the container. If the breeder teases them or other turtles approach, they will cause them to attack.
2. Loss of appetite: The grass turtle may have loss of appetite before laying eggs, and some grass turtles with poor constitution may stop eating.
3. Sand digging behavior: Wild grass turtles lay eggs on wet land or sand, and they dig a pit before laying eggs. If artificially bred grass turtles are found to have legs pushing back or digging sand, it means that they are going to be born soon.
2. How do grass turtles hatch after laying eggs1. Judge whether eggs are fertilized: It is impossible to judge whether newly laid eggs are fertilized, and breeders need to leave their eggs for 1-2 days. If white spots appear on eggs, fertilization is successful. At this time, you can start hatching.
2. Prepare the incubator: A layer of foam board should be laid in the incubator first, and several holes should be pierced in the foam board. Then add the prepared sand or vermiculite. Finally, fertilized turtle eggs are put in.
3. Keep the environment comfortable: The temperature in the incubator should be kept at 25-30 ℃ and the humidity should be kept above 90%. Usually, it is necessary to sprinkle water once a day to ensure that the sand is moist. After waiting for 50-80 days, the young turtles can hatch successfully.
