The starry spotted terrapin can be raised artificially, but it is still difficult to raise them. They still have high requirements for some environmental factors, such as water quality, if the water quality is not suitable, their health will be a problem. Moreover, the star point terrapin is also prone to carapace decay, which requires special attention. Although carapace decay does not lead to their death, it will affect their ornamental value. On the whole, their breeding is difficult, and they need to be taken care of in breeding this kind of turtle.
1, container: Although the star point terrapin itself is not too big, but their active level is still relatively high, so to prepare a large enough space to go. Moreover, the space needs a combination of land and water, water accounts for about 70%, land can account for 30%.
2. Water temperature: The starry spotted terrapin has certain cold resistance, but considering that the water temperature will affect the growth rate of the starry spotted terrapin, it is better to keep the water temperature within a suitable range. Specifically, between 19-28 degrees, it is all right. In winter, they can not be heated, so that they naturally enter the state of hibernation.
3. Water quality: The starry spotted terrapin has a relatively high requirement for water quality. They are suitable for living in weakly alkaline water. If the water quality is unstable, it will easily lead to their decay. Therefore, we should pay a little attention to the preparation of aquaculture water.
4. Feeding: Star-spotted terrapins are omnivorous, but they prefer meat. Therefore, they can usually feed more meat they are interested in, such as small fish, shrimp, crickets, earthworms, snails and so on. If they are raised in the family, they can also feed some fruits and vegetables at the same time.
5. Sunning: The starry spotted terrapin also has a relatively high requirement for sunning. Natural light is best, and regular sunbathing is good for their development. If the natural light is not enough, artificial light can be used to supplement.
