To breed flame turtles, first of all, we should pay attention to the problem of container. Because the size of the flame turtle is still relatively large, when choosing containers, we should pay attention to the size. In addition, a sunning table can be placed in the container for the flame turtle to have a rest and bask in the sun. Moreover, some aquatic plants can be put in the container.
Feeding is an important step in breeding flame turtles. When the flame turtle is in the juvenile stage, the growth rate is faster, and it can be fed once a day. After adulthood, you can feed once every two days, but the amount of feeding should be increased accordingly. In addition, we should pay attention to the types of food, which need to be matched with meat and vegetables. Meaty food such as small fish, shrimp, snails and so on, vegetarian food such as lettuce. If you don't have time, you can also feed some turtle feed.
It is also an important task to ensure that the water environment is in a suitable state. First of all, the water level, flame turtles can be raised in water, water level can also exceed their back shell, but can not exceed too much. Then there is the water temperature, the most suitable range is between 23-28 degrees, not too low. Then there is the problem of changing water, the water quality is too dirty is not conducive to the health of the flame turtle, to change water regularly to ensure water quality.
Then basking in the sun, appropriate light is conducive to the health of flame turtles, can also promote their hair color. You can let them bask in the sun every day. If there is a drying table in the container, it is more convenient and does not need to take them out of the container.
In peacetime, we should also pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases, and do a good job in cleaning and disinfection. After discovering the symptoms of flame turtle illness, we should treat them in time to avoid aggravation of the disease.
In the process of breeding, attention should be paid to the fact that when the flame turtles are in the young stage, they are more sensitive to the environment. More attention should be paid to the breeding. Once the environment is not suitable, their life span will be affected. For example, flame turtles under 2 years of age are more sensitive to the water environment, sometimes not adapted to tap water, so before using tap water must be dried, and need to put some aquatic plants in the water.
