1. Our golden coin turtle has been here for 5 days and won’t eat anything

Your turtle may be in a new environment, unfamiliar, so it won't eat.

Turtles are very timid and it is common for them to refuse to eat due to fear after arriving in a new environment. It is best to starve a newly arrived turtle for three days. Firstly, it is easier to let the turtle eat after starving (although turtles are famous for their ability to endure hunger in the animal world, they cannot stand hunger and are very greedy), and secondly, it allows it to excrete what it has eaten before. In this way, it is less likely to cause indigestion due to too much food when feeding it again.

Because turtles are timid, there should be no disturbances when feeding for the first time. It is best not to watch from the side (and avoid too much noise, turtles are not deaf). Although the ears of turtles have degenerated, they can still sense vibrations. Too much noise will also scare the turtle. Throw the food directly in front of the turtle, wait a few hours and then check. If the turtle does not eat, take out the food to avoid affecting the water quality. Repeat the next day. Generally speaking, the turtle can eat at this time as long as it is not sick. If the turtle refuses to eat for more than a month, it is definitely abnormal (usually you should feel something is wrong after 2 weeks), and you must check the turtle's health again.

I just bought two little golden lines. They are eating turtle food now.

One is very edible, but the other one is not. That's okay.

This may be the same as people, some adapt quickly, some slowly, don't worry, you can feed them pork, beef is the best, but they only eat lean meat.

Hope it can be adopted!

Then you continue feeding.

2. How much does a golden coin turtle usually cost per pound?

A wild golden coin turtle weighing more than three kilograms costs about 9,000 to 10,000 yuan per kilogram in the market, while a domesticated golden coin turtle costs about 3,000 yuan per kilogram. Usually, golden coin turtles are sold individually, and the specific price is related to their quality.

Golden coin turtles are rare and their prices are always high. A Vietnamese golden coin turtle costs about 30,000 yuan, and some golden coin turtles are extremely expensive, reaching 100,000 or 200,000 yuan each, and there is no upper limit.

The price of golden coin turtles is affected by their place of origin and species. For example, the price of a Hainan golden coin turtle is around 20,000 to 25,000 yuan, while the price of a Vietnamese golden coin turtle seedling is around 30,000 yuan. The better the quality of the golden coin turtle, the higher the price, and some may even reach hundreds of thousands.

Tips for raising golden coin turtles

Choose your location

Because the golden coin turtle is a turtle, its breeding place should be chosen near a pond, preferably a pond or river with a lot of water and clean. The breeding place should preferably have dense woods and a quiet environment.

You can choose to build an island in the middle of the pond so that the golden coin turtle can go up to enjoy the sunshine. The island needs to be covered with a layer of sand for the turtle to lay eggs on. The water level of the breeding pond should be less than 60 cm, and there should be some aquatic creatures on the water to provide shelter and cool the water temperature in hot weather.

The golden coin turtle is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, and has always been regarded as a precious tonic in the southern region. At the same time, it has a very high ornamental value. Because the golden coin turtle has a wide range of uses in food, medicine, and ornamental purposes, and the number of wild turtles is scarce, except for deep mountains and old forests, the three-lined box turtle has become extinct in plains and hilly areas. Therefore, in 1988, my country has listed the golden coin turtle as a national second-class wild protected animal. Therefore, the value of the golden coin turtle has doubled, and the price is expensive, rising year by year, reaching 3,000 to 4,500 yuan per 500 grams. The price of the golden coin turtle with a golden head and red limbs is slightly higher. The price of the golden coin turtle with a grayish-yellow head and lighter red on the surface of the limbs is lower. 6. When the pH value is moderate, the following is the effect of water temperature on turtles:

Below 4℃ – Frozen to death

Below 10℃ - Hibernation

16℃ - Food intake decreases significantly

36℃ - Start not eating

45℃ - Death from heat

7. The growth temperature of the golden coin turtle is between 24-32℃. When the water temperature is 28℃, it will float to breathe once every 20 minutes in the water; when the water temperature is 25℃, it will float to breathe once every 26 minutes; when the water temperature is below 12, it will enter hibernation.

I don't understand.

3. What are the methods for raising golden coin turtles?

1) Juvenile turtle pond: Generally, it is raised in a cement pond. This method is suitable for general professional households and small-scale breeding farms. According to the living characteristics of the golden coin turtle, the breeding pond should be built in a sunny and windproof place. The size of the pond can be determined according to needs, and a wall should be built about 2 meters away from the pond to prevent the golden coin turtle from escaping. A small island can also be built in the center of the pond for the golden coin turtle to move around. The small island and the open space outside the pond should have a certain slope to facilitate the golden coin turtle to climb onto the island or the open space outside the pond to perch, feed and lay eggs. A water outlet should be set at the bottom of the pond for water exchange. The bottom of the pond and the open space outside the pond should be covered with about 30 cm thick sand, and some plants should be planted to provide shade to help cool down and prevent heatstroke in summer. \x0d\x0aBecause the golden coin turtle is expensive, some breeders build ponds indoors to raise young turtles for safety and ease of management, which can also achieve better results. Indoor young turtle ponds are also built with cement, generally rectangular, and 2/3 of the length has a certain slope. The bottom and walls of the pool are paved with beige or lake blue glazed tiles, which are easy to clean and keep clean. According to experience, an indoor cement pool of 1.5m x 0.6m x 0.6m can hold about 30 small golden coin turtles. \x0d\x0a(2) Adult turtle pool: The pool is built based on the characteristics of golden coin turtles, such as their preference for warmth and water, mild temperament, timidity, ability to dig holes, and ease of escape. Choose a place with soft mud and sand, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, sufficient water source, not easily polluted, secluded and shaded, and use cement to build the pool. The size of the breeding pool can be determined according to the size of the site and the number of turtles to be raised. A 50cm high wall must be built with stone or bricks around the pool 1-2 meters away, with a foundation depth of 70-80cm. The wall must be smooth, and wire mesh must be installed at the inlet and outlet of the pool to prevent the turtles from escaping. Build a 6-7 square meter island in the center of the pool for the turtles to move around. The open space between the wall and the breeding pond and the place where the island extends into the pond must have a certain slope (more than 1:2) to facilitate the turtles to go ashore and to the island. The water storage depth of the breeding pond is generally about 1.5 meters. The bottom of the pond needs to be covered with 20 to 40 centimeters of sand. The open space between the wall and the pond should also be covered with about 60 centimeters of slightly moist sand. In addition, some flowers, grasses and small shrubs can be planted on the open space around the pond and on the island to provide shade and habitat for the turtles. Some electric lights can also be installed to facilitate staff to observe the activities of the turtles at night. Some breeders also raise adult turtles indoors. The construction of indoor adult turtle pools is roughly the same as that of indoor juvenile turtle pools, but the area is much larger. \x0d\x0a(3) Breeding pools: The construction of breeding pools is basically the same as that of adult turtle pools. Normally, breeding pools can also be used as adult turtle pools. Adult turtles are removed during the breeding season, which can improve the efficiency of the pool. The breeding pool should be kept as quiet as possible. The stocking density of parent turtles is much smaller than that of adult turtles. During the egg-laying period, the sand around the pool should be kept moist without water accumulation; in case of drought, water should be sprinkled appropriately to keep the sand moist. The breeding pool must be built outdoors. There is no real successful example of breeding golden coin turtles in indoor pools. \x0d\x0a2. Feed and feeding\x0d\x0aNutritional conditions are one of the factors that have a great impact on the artificial breeding of golden coin turtles. Golden coin turtles have a wide range of diets. When they are artificially raised, they should be mainly fed with animal feeds such as small fish, shrimp, minced shellfish meat, snail meat, earthworms, cooked and chopped animal offal, and supplemented with plant feeds such as rice and vegetables. In addition, a variety of vitamins, trace elements and calcium can be appropriately added to the feed to ensure that the nutritional components of the feed are comprehensive, to avoid poor growth and development of golden coin turtles, or anorexia. Newly purchased or newly caught golden coin turtles should be raised in separate pools according to their weight, so that they can be fed with different amounts and qualities of feed to maximize their production capacity and maintain the healthy physique of golden coin turtles. May to November each year is the active feeding period of the golden coin turtle, and it is also the period of weight gain. The fastest weight gain is from July to September, so sufficient nutrients should be provided in these three months to allow it to eat more and grow faster. However, if the amount of feed is too much, the golden coin turtle cannot fully digest and absorb, which will cause feed costs and increase breeding costs. In order to use feed economically and effectively, the amount of feed fed according to experience can be seen in Table 1.
