Helmet mud turtles can be raised artificially, but relatively speaking, the difficulty of breeding will be higher. They have requirements for many factors in the surrounding environment, such as water temperature, water quality and so on. Moreover, in the process of breeding, they are prone to some health problems, the most common phenomenon is rotten skin, which needs to be dealt with in time. Therefore, in general, their breeding is still relatively difficult, and we should pay attention to taking good care of them. Especially when they are relatively young, they need to be carefully raised.
1. Space: The helmet mud turtle belongs to the semi-aquatic turtle, which has a high requirement for the surrounding environment and needs very careful arrangement. Container space should be spacious, in the waters for their activities to increase the land environment, place a larger platform for them to bask in the sun. Some aquatic plants and rain flower stones can be put in the waters to increase the aesthetic feeling and make the ornamental effect better.
2. Feeding: Reasonable feeding is an important link in the process of raising helmeted mud turtles. This kind of turtle's food is mainly turtle feed, to use good quality feed, do not feed them some inferior feed without nutrition. Because of their small size, do not feed too much at one time to avoid overfeeding. At the same time, we should pay attention to the frequency of feeding, 2-3 days feeding is enough, even turtle seedlings do not have to feed every day, which can only increase their gastrointestinal burden.
3. Water quality: When breeding helmet mud turtles, we should pay attention to the problem of water quality, which will affect their health. This kind of turtle has a high requirement for water quality, and it is necessary to change water regularly to keep the water clean and pollution-free. If there is a problem with the water quality, they are prone to skin diseases.
4. Water level: It is also crucial to adjust the water level well, and the level of water level will also affect their health. The water level should not be too deep, the ideal water level is the height that the turtle can raise its head to the surface of the water, do not think that there is land can be deep water, the higher the water level, the greater the buoyancy, which will often consume their physical strength.
