CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise the hatched centipedes?

1. Ensure sufficient feed and drinking water. Juicy and soft animal feed should be the main feed for young centipedes. Earthworms and tadpoles are the favorite feeds for young centipedes. When feeding earthworms, individuals with a body thickness similar to that of centipedes should be selected, cut into small pieces, and thrown on a plastic board. Tadpoles can be fed directly, or their internal organs can be removed and chopped into meat and bright paste before feeding. The drinking water for young centipedes is mainly provided by absorbent sponges.

2. Make a good transition before hibernation or hibernation. After the young centipedes are raised in a small container for 1.5 to 2 months, their first winter after birth is about to come. At this time, the young centipedes have completed their first molting after independent life and entered the second molting. All young centipedes should be cleaned up once, divided into groups according to size and molting progress, and placed in different breeding pools or breeding tanks for breeding. At this time, the breeding soil in the breeding pool must be loose, and the temperature in the breeding house must be kept relatively stable to facilitate the young centipedes to enter hibernation smoothly.

3. Egg yolk and milk are good choices for feeding young centipedes in the early stage. Egg yolk should be directly placed on the plastic plate after being stirred into a paste. Milk needs to be dissolved in water first, then saturated with a small sponge, and then placed on the plastic plate. Change it once a day. Pay special attention to cleaning the plastic plate and sponge. When the sponge is found to have a rancid smell, it should be replaced. After half a month, the amount of egg yolk and milk should be gradually reduced, and other feeds such as earthworms should be fed at the same time.

4. When the young centipedes finish the breeding period, they should be separated from the mother centipede in time. If the mother centipede lives in a single "delivery room" at the beginning of the hatching period, then you only need to take the mother centipede out of the "delivery room". If the mother centipede is hatched in a group and shared pond, you can use the luring method to lure the young centipedes out of the breeding soil and then transfer them out. The specific method is: take advantage of the habit of young centipedes to gather and eat sweets, use a few clean artificial sponges with several small holes drilled in them, soak them in a solution containing glucose and milk powder for a while, and then put them in the activity area of ​​the centipede pond in the evening. The young centipedes will crawl to the sponge to eat and rest. The next morning, gently pick up the sponge with tweezers, move it to the prepared feeder, and shake out the young centipedes inside.

Pay attention to the control of temperature, humidity, and breeding environment.

Although the young centipedes that have just left their mother's body have the initial ability to handle life, they are still relatively delicate after all. Therefore, we often put the newly hatched centipedes in smaller containers, such as some plastic bottles. Then when the first hibernation period of breeding arrives, each plastic basin with a diameter of about 0.5 meters can be used to raise 2-3 nests of young centipedes born at the same time. Spread about 5 cm of breeding soil in the basin, and stack 3-4 layers of tiles that have absorbed enough water on the soil for the centipedes to live. Put some sponges on the tiles for the centipedes to drink water. Put one or several small plastic boards in the center of the breeding soil for feeding. Place multiple such breeding containers on the breeding soil of the empty breeding pool to prevent the young centipedes from escaping as they grow up.

We can prepare the feed for newly born centipedes with egg yolk and milk. After stirring the egg yolk, put it directly on the plastic plate. The milk needs to be dissolved in water first, then saturated with a small sponge, and then placed on the plastic plate. Change it once a day. At the same time, pay special attention to cleaning the plastic plate and sponge, because placing centipede food on it will produce bacteria and microorganisms, which can easily cause harm to the body of the centipede. So when we find that the sponge emits a rancid smell, we should replace it. After half a month, the amount of egg yolk and milk should be gradually reduced, and other baits such as earthworms should be fed at the same time.

When raising centipedes, special attention should be paid to the control of temperature and humidity. The temperature of the young centipedes should be maintained between 25 and 30 degrees. If they leave their mother's body in the autumn when the temperature is changeable, the temperature of the breeding soil should be carefully controlled. The humidity of the breeding soil for young centipedes should be maintained at 20%-25%. To prevent water accumulation at the bottom, small holes should be pierced at the bottom of the breeding container with a needle or a small nail to facilitate leakage.

At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the feeding of centipedes. Centipedes should be fed mainly with juicy and soft animal feed. Earthworms and tadpoles are the baits that young centipedes prefer to eat. When feeding earthworms, individuals with a body thickness similar to that of centipedes should be selected, cut into small pieces, and thrown on a plastic board. Tadpoles can be fed directly, or their internal organs can be removed and chopped into meat paste before feeding. The drinking water of young centipedes is mainly provided by absorbent sponges.

You can put the small centipedes in potato liquid and place them in a humid environment for breeding, or you can place some smaller meat foods in the environment, so that you can better simulate and raise the small centipedes.

Ensure sufficient feed and water, you can also feed with milk, the temperature should be controlled above 20℃, and it should be exposed to the sun in time.

Pay attention to the temperature, maintain appropriate humidity, pay attention to the light conditions, and breed according to scientific methods. The breeding methods of the same species of centipedes are different.
