It is difficult to raise helmet mud turtles, and they have high requirements for the environment, so many factors should be paid attention to when raising them. Such as water temperature, water quality, feeding, water level and the layout of the surrounding environment. In addition, they are prone to illness, which may affect their health or life if the breeder does not deal with it in time.
2. How to raise helmet mud turtles1. Space: Although helmet mud turtles are small in size, they need a large space for activities, and breeders need to prepare a larger container for them to move normally. If conditions permit, you can put a few big stones in the container to let them climb freely. In addition, you can also put some aquatic plants, rain flower stones, etc. in the container to increase the ornamental value.
2. Feeding: The feeding of helmet mud turtles is also important. Their gastrointestinal digestion is not strong, and the breeder cannot feed them too much food. Even newborn turtles should be fed once every 2-3 days. Usually, you can choose some feed with better quality, and you can also choose some fresh live bait to feed.
3. Water temperature and water quality: The helmet mud turtle has no strict requirements on water temperature and water quality, so long as the water temperature is kept between 20-30 ℃ and the water quality is kept clean and refreshing. However, they are sensitive to environmental fluctuations, and breeders need to keep the environment stable.
4. Water level: The water quality of helmet mud turtles is not good, so breeders need to put them in shallow water for breeding. The height of the water level can be consistent with the height of their carapace, so that they can breathe fresh air as soon as they look up.
