The white-lipped turtle is a relatively common species of turtle that can be raised at home as a pet turtle. They are not particularly easy to raise because they are sensitive to the environment. If they are raised at home, there are many problems to be paid attention to, such as space, feeding, water temperature, water quality, water level and so on, which need to be controlled. If the environment is not suitable, they are easy to get sick.
1, space: breeding white-lipped turtles, first of all, the container should be large enough. In the container can be placed in the sun, it can be above the sun, but also in the inside of some aquatic plants, placed some small pebbles, shells and so on is also good.
2. Feeding: The feeding of the white-lipped turtle must be appropriate. The animal feed is mainly composed of small fish, shrimp, earthworms, and mealworms. Fresh lean meat and animal viscera are also acceptable. Plant feed can feed some vegetables, melons and fruits, and can also feed some aquatic plants. Feeding is usually done once a day during the growing season. When I grow up, once every two days. Feeding should be moderate, not too full. Cut into small pieces before feeding.
3. Water temperature: White-lipped turtles should pay attention to the regulation of water temperature. In summer, we should pay attention to doing a good job of summer shelter, regular ventilation, and avoid sunshine after nine in the morning. Usually the water temperature should not be too low, so as not to affect their appetite.
4. Water quality: The water quality should be clean. Because it is raised in shallow water, it cannot be filtered. It is necessary to change the water regularly. In summer, water should be changed frequently to control the water quality. When changing water, we should pay attention to not changing it all at one time, leaving half for half.
5. Water level: The safe water level of the white-lipped turtle is at the position of its carapace. Usually in the back of their shell, more than part of it can be.
6. Sunshine: It is good for the growth and health of the white-lipped turtle to bask in the sun properly every day.
7. Disease prevention: White-lipped turtles should pay attention to disease prevention, because this kind of turtle is relatively fragile, and timely treatment when symptoms are found. The containers should be disinfected regularly.
