Terrapins and semi-terrapins are mainly different in habits. Terrapins cannot leave the water, and some even spend all their time in the water except during the breeding season, while semi-terrapin can live on land. In addition, although both are omnivorous animals, terrapins generally prefer meat, while semi-terrapins prefer vegetarianism.
1. Breeding environment: Semi-water turtles need an amphibious breeding environment, which is quite different from terrapins. Although terrapins also need a sunning table, they only need to be placed in the water. Semi-water turtles need a special land space, which should be covered with soil, and the water environment should be prepared with an appropriate amount of water to soak them.
2, change the water to clean up: to raise semi-water turtles need to change the water regularly, this is the same as the terrapin, to keep the water clean and hygienic, is particularly important for its health. In addition to changing water, the land environment should also be cleaned regularly, turtles have the habit of digging holes, will dig soil everywhere, so pay attention to cleaning.
3. Daily feeding: Turtles are omnivores, and half-water turtles prefer to eat plants, so they mainly feed some vegetables or fruits, but they also pay attention to supplementing meat, so that nutrition can be balanced. In addition, every once in a while, you need to add calcium powder to the feed, so that it can supplement calcium.
4. Regular sunning: The semi-terrapin also needs to be sunned. Usually, it can be sunned for about half an hour every day. If it is cloudy, you can use a sunning lamp to shine on it. It should be noted that the back should not be sunned when the light is too strong, otherwise it is easy to accelerate the loss of water.
