The Chinese flowered turtle
The Chinese flowered turtle has no special requirements for the selection of food , unlike other turtles, the Chinese painted turtle prefers to eat some meat food. Although it can eat some turtle food, this does not satisfy its overall nutrition, so it must be fed some fish, etc. .
Chinese flowered turtles can be fed pork, fish, shrimp, etc. under normal conditions. They especially like millet and shrimp. Feed them three times a week, and the amount of food they eat depends on the turtle body. The lower 5% can also be appropriately increased, but it cannot be increased suddenly. It should be gradually adjusted to make it gradually adapt to avoid causing indigestion. Whether the Chinese flowered turtle's feed is animal or plant-based, it must be kept fresh and fresh to prevent rancidity and deterioration. Feeding can be done in the morning when the temperature is not high. Feeding should not be too much to prevent residual bait from contaminating the water quality.
In summer, when the water temperature is around 34°C, the turtle eats a large amount. At this time, the feeding amount should be increased to speed up the growth of the turtle. If there is no need to grow, You can also feed it 2 to 3 times a week. The water should usually be changed frequently (can be done before feeding), but well water cannot be used to avoid excessive water temperature differences, which may cause adverse effects. Autumn is a critical time for raising turtles. As the saying goes, bones are raised in spring and fat is raised in autumn. The amount of nutrients stored in the turtle's body directly affects the success or failure of the turtle's hibernation. Therefore, in autumn, first of all, the feeding amount should be increased, and secondly, vitamin C and multivitamins should be added to the bait to improve the turtle's resistance.
Always pay attention to changes in ambient temperature. The temperature at night should be around 18°C to avoid being counterproductive and causing diseases. It is best to raise the turtle in autumn, which is conducive to the hibernation of the turtle. In winter, the turtle can be placed on moist sand or in a tank with a water depth of 10 cm to allow it to hibernate. The water temperature cannot be lower than 8 ℃. Otherwise, the turtle's hibernating safety will be threatened.
