The West African side-necked box turtle can be raised artificially, and the difficulty of raising them is not particularly great. They are not particularly demanding on the environment, the adaptability of water temperature, water level and other factors are good, and they are not easy to get sick. However, when the West African side-necked box turtle is in the juvenile stage, it will be slightly sensitive to the environment, and at this stage, it can pay a little attention to it, and there will be no problem.
1. Feeding: The West African side-necked box turtle still has requirements for the types of food. Their favorite food is meat, which can be used as their main food, such as fish, shrimp, pork, mutton and so on, which are of interest to them. They may be interested in turtle feed when they are young, but they generally refuse to eat turtle feed when they are adults, so they need to pay attention to it.
2. Water temperature: The water temperature needs to be regulated and controlled to an appropriate range during the culture process. Specifically, the water temperature is between 15 and 30 degrees, which can meet their normal growth requirements, but if it is below 10 degrees, it needs to be heated.
3. Water quality: In the process of breeding, it is also necessary to ensure the water quality. The water quality cannot be too dirty. Regular water change is a very important work, if there is a filter in the container, you can properly extend the interval of water change.
4. Water level: It is also an important task to control the water level. The West African box turtle belongs to a group of deep water turtles, and their water is very good. If it is not suitable to breed them in too shallow water, the water level can be higher so that turtles can swim in it.
5. Container: The growth rate of the West African side-necked box turtle is very fast, so it is necessary to choose a larger container for them when breeding. Their activity level is also very high, so we must provide a sufficient space.
