Can supplement protein.

2. In which month does the golden coin turtle lay eggs and how many eggs does it lay at one time?

The golden coin turtle usually starts laying eggs in June. The peak period of egg laying is from mid-June to early July every year, and the egg-laying period will last until mid-August. In these months, they lay eggs at a relatively concentrated time every day, most of which are between 18:00 and 21:00 in the evening. The external environment during this period will be relatively quiet, which can make their reproduction go smoothly without being disturbed. 1. In which month do golden coin turtles lay eggs? Generally speaking, golden coin turtles lay eggs in June every year. The peak period of egg laying is from mid-June to early July every year, and it will not end until mid-August. If you observe carefully in the place where golden coin turtles are artificially raised, you will find that golden coin turtles are particularly concentrated in the egg-laying stage. Because laying eggs requires a quiet external environment, most of them lay eggs at night, generally starting from 18:00 in the evening and ending at 21:00, and a small part will end at midnight. Other turtles can generally reproduce all day long, as long as the breeding environment meets the requirements. From this point, it can also be seen that the breeding difficulty of golden coin turtles is relatively high.

2. How many eggs does a golden coin turtle lay at one time? Generally, golden coin turtles can only lay 3-11 eggs at a time. They lay very few eggs each year, only once a year. If it is the first time to lay eggs, the number will be even less, usually around 1-3 eggs. Other turtles generally lay eggs at least twice a year, which is why their number is relatively small. Because their reproduction is more difficult, the reproduction frequency is low, and the number of eggs laid each time is not large, so they are also considered to be relatively rare turtles.

3. How many eggs does a golden coin turtle produce in a year? How to hatch the eggs?

Golden coin turtles can lay 2-18 eggs a year. They can lay eggs 1-2 times a year, 1-9 eggs each time, and 3.6 eggs on average. Golden coin turtles usually start laying eggs from May to September each year. Female turtles will look for a suitable egg-laying site before laying eggs. The riverside or under the roots of trees near the river is the egg-laying site they often choose. After choosing a good site, they will use their limbs to dig a 7-10 cm deep nest and lay the eggs in it. 1. How many eggs does a golden coin turtle produce in a year? Golden coin turtles can produce 2-18 eggs a year, depending on how many times they lay eggs. Golden coin turtles usually lay eggs 1-2 times a year, 1-9 eggs each time, and 3.6 eggs on average. Golden coin turtles usually mate in the autumn dusk, and then start laying eggs from May to September of the following year, especially from June to July, which is the peak period of egg laying. Female golden coin turtles come ashore to lay eggs in the evening, usually by the river or under the roots of trees. They dig a pit 7-10 cm deep and 5-6 cm in diameter at the egg-laying site. They then lay the eggs in it, and after laying, they will use their limbs and plastron to cover the eggs before leaving.

2. How to incubate the eggs laid by the golden coin turtle? The incubation of golden coin turtle eggs requires the control of temperature, humidity and incubation medium. The first is the incubation medium. Under different incubation media, the hatching rate and incubation period will be very different. For example, relying on natural soil and environment for incubation, the fertilization rate is only 50.9%. If it is replaced with fine sand for incubation, the success rate of hatching can be increased to about 83.3%.

The second is temperature. The temperature during incubation will affect their gender. If the incubation temperature is 26℃, most of the hatched turtles are males. If the temperature is 30℃, most of the hatched turtles are females. Finally, the humidity is controlled at 5%-10% for the sand and 80%-90% for the air.

4. What are the feeding and breeding techniques for golden coin turtles in a farm?

1. Purchase of breeding turtles: There are two channels for purchasing breeding turtles.

The first is to purchase wild golden coin turtles, and select those that are plump, muscular, have bright eyes, and support themselves with their limbs and do not drag their shells on the ground when walking. As wild resources are scarce, they are difficult to find and are expensive. When they are transferred from wild to artificial breeding, due to changes in the environment and feeding, the loss during the domestication process is relatively large.

The second is to keep the second-generation commercial turtles. By simulating the wild environment, the second-generation commercial turtles are placed in an environment with sun, pools, grass, and beaches. After about eight years of breeding, the golden coin turtles can reproduce after they reach sexual maturity. In this way, the breeding turtles are kept under artificial control without any changes in the environment. There is less loss during the breeding process. It has been proved through practice that the number of eggs laid by this kind of golden coin turtles is relatively higher than that of wild domesticated golden coin turtles. We have a second-generation breeding turtle of Vietnamese species, which lays 13 eggs at a time. These 13 eggs are basically the same size as the eggs laid by domesticated wild golden coin turtles.

2. Feeding and management of golden coin turtles in four seasons.

In March or April every year, the weather starts to warm up. When the temperature rises above 20 degrees, the golden coin turtles start to become active. Some go to bask in the sun, some go into the bushes, some play in the water, some look for mates to mate, and some forage on the feeding table. At this time, you can start feeding live small fish, shrimps, etc., and let the golden coin turtles forage for food. And pay more attention to the demeanor of the golden coin turtles. If you find a turtle with a drooping neck or foam at the corners of its mouth, you must find it in time and treat it in time. Only by taking the right medicine can you see the effect quickly. In spring, due to the large temperature changes, golden coin turtles are also prone to colds. If you find a golden coin turtle with the above symptoms, first catch it and put it in a basin or bucket, add more water, and see if the turtle sinks or floats. If it sinks, it proves that the turtle does not have pneumonia. Soak it in water with children's quick-acting medicine for four to seven days. If you find that the golden coin turtle is floating, it is more troublesome because it has contracted pneumonia, and it needs to be injected with a certain dose of penicillin or pioneer, also for a course of seven days. The specific operation depends on the individual size of the turtle.

In May and June, some golden coin turtles start to lay eggs. At this time, the turtles have a large appetite, one is to make nutrients for the eggs, and the other is to be more active. At this time, many golden coin turtles crawl around on the beach, looking for a place to lay eggs. When you observe that the golden coin turtle has laid eggs and covered them with mud and sand, gently move the golden coin turtle away, gently dig up the soil with your hands, take out the eggs one by one, put them in a basin with mud and sand, and then transfer them to the incubator. The method we use to incubate golden coin turtle eggs is to incubate them indoors at natural temperature.

One week before the golden coin turtle lays eggs, the soil used to incubate the golden coin turtle eggs in the incubator should be adjusted to a certain humidity. The humidity should be controlled by holding the sand in your hand and grabbing it hard. The sand and mud will form. When you loosen your hand, the sand and mud will naturally loosen. Put the golden coin turtle eggs into the incubator and dig up the incubation soil to form a pit. Put the golden coin turtle eggs into the pit, about 3 to 4 cm away from the eggs, and cover them with soil. In summer, water them every 1 to 3 days, depending on the natural temperature and air circulation. To know whether the golden coin turtle eggs are fertilized or not, you can gently dig up the sand and mud on them. If you see a clear white band around the middle of the golden coin turtle eggs, it is a fertilized egg. If there is no change, it is an unfertilized egg. After about 78 to 90 days of incubation, the fertilized eggs will hatch. June to July is the peak period for golden coin turtles to lay eggs, which basically ends at the end of August and the beginning of September. Of course, there are also some turtles that lay eggs in October, but that is just an individual phenomenon.

You can use a wooden box or other breathable container as an incubator. First, spread 5 to 10 cm thick fine sand on the bottom of the incubator, place the fertilized eggs, and then cover them with 3 to 4 cm of fine sand. The water content of the sand is 5% to 10%. You can incubate at natural temperature or constant temperature. Natural temperature incubation takes about 80 to 90 days, while constant temperature incubation only takes about 70 days.

If you want to raise golden coin turtles, you must first choose the right purchasing channel, and secondly, you must do a good job of feeding management.

It takes 4-7 years for the golden coin turtle to mature. Adult golden coin turtles usually go into estrus in spring and autumn, and will mate on their own after estrus. Golden coin turtles are fertilized internally, and mating is done in water, which lasts about 20 minutes. They will lay eggs some time after mating. Before laying eggs, the female turtle will dig a nest, lay the eggs in it, and then cover it to let the eggs hatch on their own.
