It is better for novice turtles to raise more than 5 centimeters. Turtles less than 5 cm belong to young turtles, which are weak in body and choose to eat, so they can easily die if they are not raised well. However, if they exceed 5 cm, they already belong to young turtles, which can accept more food and are easier to raise. Moreover, turtles over 5 cm can hibernate naturally, which is better. Turtles too small may not wake up after hibernation.

1. Feeding: To raise turtles, they should first feed them. As omnivorous animals, they have a wide range of feed choices. If it is a water turtle, it prefers animal feed. It can be fed with a little fish and shrimp, or snail meat and clam meat, but it should also be fed with vegetables regularly to supplement some nutrition. It is usually fed once every three days, and calcium powder should be added to the feed from time to time.

2. Change water regularly: Turtles usually enter the water to excrete after eating, so the water quality often deteriorates rapidly, so it is usually necessary to change water several hours after feeding. Generally, change water completely, and keep the temperature of new water and old water consistent, so as not to make it produce some stress reaction.

3. Get more sun: Raising turtles must get more sun. Sunlight can not only sterilize them, but also promote the synthesis of vitamin D, which is of great help to the absorption of calcium and prevent the occurrence of soft shell disease.
