The colorful tortoise is also known as the Brazil color turtle, which is delicate and delicious and has high nutritional and medicinal value. And because of the bright colors and beautiful appearance, it has certain ornamental value.
1, living habits Colorful turtles mixed food, particularly animal feed, such as red worms, fish, shrimp, snails, fleas, fleas and lean meat, animal offal and so on.
2. Feeding conditions Colorful turtles have strong adaptability to the environment, but they are afraid of noise, like to be clean and dirty, like to live and live in a relatively quiet environment. Professional breeding is best to build a pool. Feeding containers can use general water basins, plastic basins, glass basins, sinks, etc. Generally about 10 pairs of adult turtles can be grown per square meter.
3, hatching reproduction Colorful turtle eggs, eggs can be produced 3-4 times a year. The mating period is generally from the end of May to August, and the spawning period is from June to September. The maternal tortoises produce about 45 eggs each year. Under the temperature of 25°C, the hatchlings usually hatch after 60-70 days. .
4, feeding and management feeding four. Timing: feeding at the same time every day at the same time according to the season, so as to cultivate habits and form conditioned reflexes; quantitative: when the temperature is 20-25° C., each feeding amount is 5-8% of the body weight, and the feeding is performed when the temperature is high. The amount should be increased appropriately. Positioning: Fix one or several feed stations. Once fixed, do not change them. Qualitative: Feed should be diversified. Generally, fish, shrimp, insects, animal waste, eggs and cereals can be fed. Raw and cooked foods can be used, but they should be clean and free of corrupt and rotten bait. Water quality management. Colorful turtles like to live in a fresh water body. Therefore, you should always change the water and maintain good water quality. The depth of the water layer of the turtle pond should change with the season. When the temperature is low, shallow water is needed to increase the water temperature. When the temperature is high, deep water is needed to avoid exposure to the sun. Winter management. When the water temperature is lower than about 14°C, the turtle turns into hibernation and no need to feed it. Turtle pools can be covered with plastic film, pots can be moved to the indoor basin.
5. Disease prevention The vitality of the turtle is extremely strong. As long as the ground is observed, strictly managed and intensively reared, the pool water is kept clean, and it is generally not easy to get sick. However, in the hatchling stage, oxytetracycline and furazolidone can be fed once or twice per month, preferably in alternation. One tablet for each 5 turtles can be dissolved in water. It can also be disinfected with 0.01% potassium permanganate solution, which is excellent for preventing diseases. In addition, special attention should be paid to the encroachment of snakes, cats, rats, dogs, and other predators to prevent loss.
