1, pay attention to feeding: animals in the breeding period need a certain amount of nutrition, turtles are no exception. Usually when a female turtle is pregnant, she needs to be given a little calcium and vitamin supplement so that she can lay eggs successfully. In addition, it is also helpful for the development of young turtles.
2. Prepare sand: Under normal circumstances, turtles will lay their eggs in the sand, so it is best to provide a good nesting site. If it can't find a place to lay eggs, it will lay them directly in the water. When eggs contact water, the protective membrane will be destroyed, which greatly reduces the success rate of hatching.
