a newly bought turtle usually needs to rest for three days. However, for different turtles, the time of rest is not fixed. Some turtles three days is enough, some may take a week or so, but more than a week does not eat, that is the turtle itself has a problem, must be timely detection of symptoms and treatment, otherwise it is likely to die.
1. Feed: Do not feed a newly bought turtle immediately. Let it rest for a period of time first, and then feed it after it adapts to the environment. The first feeding generally uses meat such as fish and shrimp as feed, but can not feed too fat. After that, feed every 3-5 days, each feeding amount is about the same as its head.
2. Pay attention to changing water: It is also necessary to change water when raising turtles. Generally, the cycle of changing water is the same as that of feeding. The time of changing water is also several hours after feeding, because it will excrete in the water. If it is not cleaned up in time, it will lead to the deterioration of the water body and affect its health. Usually, the water should be changed completely, but the water temperature must not change too much.
3. Sunning the back regularly: The tortoise needs to be sunned every day. On the one hand, it can disinfect and sterilize it, and on the other hand, it can raise the temperature and accelerate its digestion. In addition, sunning the back also helps the synthesis of vitamins and accelerates the absorption of iron, so that its carapace develops better. Sunning the back is usually not at noon, and there should be water nearby to prevent dehydration symptoms.
