After the colorful turtle is bought back, the first step to do is to clean up the printing on its back. Although these prints look beautiful, they are basically paints or pigments, which are toxic to turtles. And the tortoise needs to change its armor in the process of growing up, if the paint sticks to the tortoise shell, it will lead to its deformity. In addition, it is difficult to find out if the turtle back under the cover of printing has rotten nail disease, which will miss the treatment time, leading to aggravation of the disease or even death.
After cleaning the prints on the turtle's back, you need to rest it for a period of time, usually about three to seven days, during which time you do not need to feed it. When it is familiar with the environment, it can feed a little food. Generally, young turtles feed more meat, you can choose fresh fish and shrimp, but do not feed too fat food, which will lead to indigestion.
Generally, you have to put the turtle into the water. Because it is stagnant water, the water quality will gradually deteriorate. You have to change the water regularly. Changing the water usually replaces all the water after it has excreted, and then puts the turtle back. It should be noted that the temperature of new water and old water should be the same, so that it is not easy to get sick.
