Can small turtles be raised at home?

Yes. 1. Use soft water to raise it (soft water refers to water that does not contain or contains less soluble calcium and magnesium compounds. Soft water is not easy to produce scum with soap, while hard water is the opposite. Natural soft water generally refers to river water, lake water (freshwater lake) water.) 2. Feed it nutritious food (fish, shrimp, raw pork) 3. After feeding it, it is best to change the water immediately, especially when feeding pork. Pork will form an oil film on the water surface after soaking for a long time. It is not good for the eyes of turtles to soak for a long time. You will see a layer of white film on its eyes. At this time, just give it some eye drops. (If the situation does not improve, remember to take it to see a doctor!) 4. Don't let it soak in water all the time. The water only needs to reach half of its body. 5. Change the water once a day. 6. It is very important to keep in touch with it every day and cultivate feelings! 7. When you have time, let it bask in the sun or put it in a large water tank to swim... 8. Remember to rinse it with water when changing the water. If the water quality is not good and has a strong smell of bleach, it is best not to use it.

1. Animal feed. Including all kinds of freshwater and marine fish, mollusks, large eggs, aquatic insects, meat and offal of all kinds of poultry, livestock and wild animals, silkworm pupae, etc. 2. Plant feed. It includes corn, wheat, soybeans, millet, rice, various cakes, fruits, vegetables, aquatic plants in green feed, etc. 3. Feed additives. It includes bone meal, calcium powder, salt, high-efficiency fast-growing additives in minerals, multivitamins for livestock, cod liver oil, malt, etc. in vitamins, oxytetracycline, sulfonamides, etc. in streptomycin, dry yeast, motherwort, koji, etc. in stomachic drugs.

It's difficult. When it grows up, you may not be there yet.

Hard to say

How to feed a newly born turtle, the size of a one-yuan coin, with a yellow belly?

Hello! You can use any basin or a larger bowl, put some pebbles in it, spread it in a layer, then add water, just enough to cover the pebbles, not too much. It needs to crawl in and out to breathe and look for food.

You can go to the market and buy the smallest fish, not live fish, which are very cheap. Buy about one pound (dozens) at a time and freeze them in the refrigerator. Take out a little every day and feed it to it. It may not be able to finish one. Observe its appetite and adjust the amount. It also likes to eat lean meat, pig liver, and pig heart, but they must be cut into small pieces for it to eat. Remember to change the water every day.

Turtle hibernates in the south at the end of November, and in the north about a month earlier. There is no need to prepare a place for hibernation. Just put half of the sand in the basin above the water. It may crawl out of the water and sleep motionlessly on the sand for dozens of days, and then unknowingly go back into the water to sleep for dozens of days. Just let it do whatever it wants. It will probably start to move around and look for food in April next year.
