The nut-pit mud turtle can be raised artificially, and because they are relatively small and suitable for family breeding, they are subject to the environment of many breeders. They are moderately difficult to raise, not particularly difficult to raise. Their requirements for the environment are not very harsh, and their adaptability to the environment is good. But there are special times to be aware of. For example, when they are relatively small, they will be sensitive to various factors in the environment. Furthermore, when they are in the adaptation period after they are just bought back, they need to be taken good care of.
1. Space: The nut-pit mud turtle belongs to a semi-aquatic turtle. First of all, a container with a large enough capacity should be prepared. In addition, because they prefer to spend more time on land, the layout of the tank is a combination of land and water. This kind of tortoise prefers sunshine in the morning and evening to provide a platform for them to bask in the sun. It can also properly place some aquatic plants, sandstone, green plants and so on to make the environment more suitable.
2. Feeding: The stone mud turtle is an omnivorous animal. However, I prefer to eat meat, because meat is the main food, such as snails, amphibians, fish and shrimp. Before feeding, they should be disinfected, washed and chopped before feeding. They also eat some plant foods such as leaves, seeds, petals and so on, which can be properly fed. They can choose their favorite food to feed and maintain adequate nutrition.
3. Water quality: Maintaining suitable water quality is an important link for raising stone mud turtles, and the quality of water quality will affect their health. Change water regularly to keep the water clean, it is recommended to change new water once a week. Be careful not to replace all of them at one time, about one third of the total water volume will be replaced. Also, if you have the conditions to buy a set of filters, the effect of regulating water quality is good.
4. Water temperature: It is very important to adjust the temperature during the cultivation of stone mud turtles. The change of water temperature directly affects their activity and appetite, and even affects their health. The most suitable temperature is 23-30 degrees, and if the temperature is too low in winter, the heating rod can be used to adjust the temperature.
