First of all, the choice of food
Turtles are omnivores, and the simplest and most convenient thing is turtle food! Because now the business is doing very carefully, I will give it to you. Brazilian tortoises will look for food from Brazilian tortoises, and golden turtles will look for golden turtles. It can be said that you can have whatever you want.
Of course, turtle food is just like human fast food. If you eat too much, you will be tired. If possible, we should keep the variety of turtle recipes, such as small fish and shrimp, which are very good food for turtles.
Second, the feeding interval and matters needing attention
You don't need to be too diligent to feed. You can feed the turtle once a day or two according to its food intake and size. However, there is one thing to note. If the turtle doesn't finish eating the food, it must be cleaned up in time, otherwise it will easily lead to water quality deterioration and pollution.
Third, turtles also need to take a bath.
Many people think that the tortoise just sits in the water and there is no need to take a bath. This is a big misunderstanding. Except for a few species (such as green turtles), turtles still need to clean the attachments on their shells in time. Just prepare a toothbrush and carefully brush off the dirt and moss on the turtle shell.
Fourth, the interval of sunbathing and matters needing attention
Generally speaking, you can sunbathe turtles for an hour or two every one or two days. There is a note here, that is, when basking in the sun for the tortoise, the aquarium must not be completely exposed to the sun, and a cool water and place must be left for the tortoise to adjust its body temperature.
Fourth, change water.
If you change the water frequently, you don't need to change all the water, just change one-third to one-half of the water at a time. Remember to take the turtle out to change the water first when changing the water.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) winter precautions
Whether the tortoise hibernates or not, in winter, the tortoise mostly consumes its own energy to survive. Be sure to give the tortoise enough food before winter, which can even be extended to the whole summer.
