Fire turtles (certain introduction)
Raising equipment
Fire turtles are both cold-resistant and heat-resistant. They have low requirements for raising conditions and environment. As long as there is water and food, they can grow and develop normally. It can be raised in water tanks, basins and ponds. It is better for professional households to build ponds for breeding. Use bricks and cement to build a 60 cm deep pond, the area of which should be determined according to the number of turtles. The newly built cement pool must be washed with clean water and dried for 3 to 5 days before use. During use, the bottom of the pool needs to be paved with 20 cm of sand, and 60 cm high walls must be built around the outside of the pool to prevent turtles from escaping. In addition, a layer of fine sand needs to be laid between the pond and the wall to allow them to move ashore and lay eggs. < p > Disinfect with physiological saline, and then place it in a water tank with a water temperature of 25°C to 30°C. Change the water once a day. Feed cooked wheat, millet, eggs, pumpkin and other mixed materials at 2 to 3 dawn, or feed chopped fish, Mussel meat, animal offal, etc. should be fed twice a day. The feeding amount should be rare and surplus, and the remaining materials should be removed immediately to prevent water quality damage. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter so that the hatchlings can survive the winter safely. 2. Feeding and management of adult turtles: Every year at the end of March and beginning of April, fire turtles wake up from hibernation and start to move. When the temperature reaches 20°C, they start to eat. Their appetite is strongest when the temperature reaches 26°C to 32°C. Fire turtles have a wide range of food habits, including animal feed and plant feed. Its delicious bait is small fish, clam meat, snail meat, earthworms, etc. In order to reduce the cost of raising dwarfs, you can also feed them corn, sorghum, millet and other grain feeds. However, animal feed should be mainly used, supplemented by cereal feed, to protect the normal development and health of the fire turtle. The peak period of feeding movement is from June to September every year, and the speed of sinking is also the fastest. Therefore, sufficient and better quality feed should be provided during these 4 months so that it can eat more and grow faster. In feeding, attention should also be paid to adding a variety of vitamins, trace elements and calcium. Feeding should be done on time at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day. The feeding amount should account for about 20% to 30% of their body weight. In order to keep the pool water clean, the pool water should be changed frequently. Generally, it should be changed every 7 days in the second season and every 3 days in summer. After November every year, when the temperature is lower than 15℃, the fire turtle will lie down in the mud at the bottom of the pond and enter a hibernating state.There is no need to feed or change water. However, attention should be paid to insulation work. It is best to close the pond with straw, and it would be better if the pond can be covered with plastic sheeting. The flame turtle is an observational turtle. If the flame color is gradually beautiful (orange or red), we call it hair color. For hair color, it is best to have at least one hour of sunlight every day (you can also buy a sunlamp if necessary, but the effect is not as good as sunlight), and arrange food reasonably. For turtles with hair color, vegetables and fish are the best. With shrimp, shrimp plays a very important role in the hair color of fire turtle. < p > During this period, spawning is completed four times a year, with about 1 to 10 eggs being laid at each time. In order to popularize hatchability, artificial hatching can be used. After the turtle lays eggs, collect the eggs, observe them under quasi-sunlight conditions, pick out the best eggs with red insides, and place them in an incubation box about 10 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 70 cm long. Spread 6 cm thick fine sand. Maintain the temperature between 25°C and 32°C, shake the eggs well and then cover with 4 cm thick fine sand. Sprinkle water three times a day, and hatchlings will hatch in 60 to 80 days.
