can pet turtles live? There are many kinds of pet turtles, and the life span of different species is also different. The more common Brazilian tortoise can generally live for 15-20 years, while the grass tortoise has a slightly longer life span, reaching about 30 years. Yellow-margined turtles live longer and can be kept for 40-60 years. Of course, the life of the turtle does not necessarily mean that it can live so long, if we do not pay attention to maintenance and management, it is easy to be raised to death.
1, feeding: want to let pet turtle live long, first of all, pay attention to feeding, different periods of turtle feeding frequency is not the same. The young turtle has a small appetite, but it digests quickly, so don't feed it too much each time, but feed it frequently, so that it can grow quickly. Adult tortoises do not need to be fed frequently, but can be fed every one or two days.
2. Change the water: As the pet tortoise is immersed in the water for a long time, whether it is eating or excreting, it is inseparable from the water, which will also have a certain impact on the water quality. For its health, it is necessary to change the water regularly. Usually after its excretion, it is necessary to change the water, and must be completely changed, because the water itself is not much, the water temperature before and after the change of water is best consistent.
3. Sunning the back: Pet turtles should also be sunned regularly, because it is easy to breed bacteria in water. Sunning the back can sterilize and disinfect, raise the temperature, promote digestion, and accelerate the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is very helpful for the absorption of calcium.
