1. Why do soft-shelled turtles die after being bitten by mosquitoes Soft-shelled turtles generally do not die after being bitten by mosquitoes, just because their parts bitten by mosquitoes may fester. If they are not treated in time, they will easily die. However, after breeders find out, as long as they apply drugs in time, they will not necessarily die.
In addition, some mosquitoes will bite the nostrils of soft-shelled turtles. When they bite the nostrils of soft-shelled turtles, their nostrils will bulge, resulting in poor breathing and eventually death. Turtles grown in the wild usually hide in the water in summer. When breeding turtles artificially, we should also pay attention to mosquito prevention to avoid them being bitten by mosquitoes, which can also reduce injuries and deaths.
2. How to prevent turtles from being bitten by mosquitoes1. Transfer indoors: If the number of turtles cultured is small, the breeder can transfer them indoors. Because most mosquitoes can be separated indoors, mosquito breeding can also be avoided. If conditions permit, you can also install a mosquito repellent device indoors, which can kill most mosquitoes.
2. Choose mosquito repellent tools: If the number of turtles cultured is too large to be transferred indoors, the breeder needs to install some mosquito repellent tools beside the cultured pond, such as mosquito repellent lamps and mosquito coils, which can also drive away mosquitoes.
