The red-bellied short-necked turtle is a kind of turtle that can be raised artificially. Their ornamental value is still relatively high, so many breeders choose them as their pets. The breeding of red-bellied short-necked turtles is not particularly difficult. They are not particularly harsh on the environment, or better control the surrounding environment. However, in order to make them grow faster and look better, there are still many problems to be paid attention to, such as water quality, water temperature and other environmental factors, which need to be regulated. Especially when the red-bellied short-necked turtle is relatively young, more attention should be paid to maintenance.
1, feeding: red-bellied short-necked turtles are omnivorous, they are not picky eaters, other turtles can eat food that can basically be fed to them. The most common is small fish, shrimp, insects and other meat food, as a staple food is good. Moreover, the stems and leaves of some plants and vegetables can be used as auxiliary food. Some turtle feed is also possible, with a combination of foods. The frequency of feeding is once every 1-2 days.
2. Water quality: The red-bellied short-necked turtle still has certain requirements for water quality, so it is necessary to ensure that the water is always in a clean state. Therefore, a filter can be placed in the container to clean the surrounding environment. Moreover, regular water change is also an important work. Tap water can be used for water change, but it must be used after drying, otherwise it will contain more chlorine.
3. Sunning: In the process of breeding red-bellied short-necked turtles, it is also necessary to consider letting them bask in the sun. The red-bellied short-necked turtle is a species of turtle that likes to bask in the sun. Wild species often come out of the water to bask in the sun, artificial breeding is also the case, can often let them out of the water to bask in the sun, if there is not enough natural light can be properly supplemented by fluorescent lamps.
4. Container: The size of the red-bellied short-necked turtle is moderate, not particularly large. Nevertheless, they also need to be provided with adequate space activities.
