About the method of hatchling cultivation

First, choose a good turtle species. When purchasing turtle species, pay attention to complete rules of the body, no deformity, no disease, no injuries, and lively ones. It is best to select the turtle species with proper length and weight. For example: Brazilian color turtle turtle armor length of 3 cm or more, weight 6 grams or more; tortoise turtle armor length of 2.6 cm or more, the width of 2.2 cm or more, weighing more than 3.5 grams; yellow throat turtles weighing more than 7 grams.
Second, the water quality and disinfection of juvenile turtle pool. Hidden turtle pool is preferably a rectangular cement pool with a slope of 2.5 degrees on the bottom of the pool. One is conducive to drainage and decontamination, and the other is suitable for hatchlings to choose different habitats for deep and shallow water layers. A properly sized cement slab is set up in the pool. Semi-dew and half of the water enters the water, which is conducive to the turtle's back, shade and concealment. It can also serve as a food table. Before hatching, fully disinfect the juvenile pool with bleach or quicklime. The pH of the pool water should be controlled between 7 and 8, and the water should be green and tender. The transparency should be about 25 cm to 30 cm.
Third, hatchlings stocking. Juvenile tortoise stocking density is generally 50 to 100 per square meter. The stocking density is high and the water must be changed frequently. Stocking density is dilute, generally changing water once every 5 days. Before juvenile tortoises are stocked, they must be soaked in water with potassium permanganate solution or salt water. The solution was soaked with a 4 PPM potassium permanganate solution for about 20 minutes.
Fourth, pool water regulation. Turtle pool water level should not be too deep, generally controlled at about 10 to 20 cm. As the age increases, the water level can be gradually deepened. In order to ensure the normal feeding growth of juvenile tortoises, the water temperature must be controlled between 26 °C and 30 °C. The temperature difference between day and night should not be greater than 4 °C. At the same time, water husks such as water hyacinth and water peanuts are appropriately stocked to purify the water quality, and they are also used as hiding places and habitats for turtles to provide a suitable living environment for hatchlings.
Fifth, feeding. The hatchling stage should be dominated by animal feed. The newly emerged hatchlings provide nutrition on their own yolk sac and do not need to be fed. They are fed with cooked egg yolks, red worms, and green leeks after 1 to 2 days. One week later, you can feed minced fish, quail, and animal livers. The foods fed must be fresh, fine, tender, good palatability, easy to digest, foods that do not spoil and spoil, and foods that are indigestible, such as cocoons and large intestines with high fat content. Feeding twice a day, the daily feeding amount is 5% to 10% of the total weight of the hatchlings, and the feed is put on a fixed food table and eaten for 2 hours.
Sixth, winter. There are two methods for wintering young turtles. One is warming and breeding for winter; the other is wintering naturally and eating and hibernating. In the past, juvenile tortoises were small in size, had less substances stored in the body, had poor adaptability to the environment and had a high mortality rate. Therefore, the growth period of hatchlings should be extended before wintering. It is safer for the natural wintering to pass through the hatchlings that are carefully kept for 2 months. The method is to spread 20 cm thick wet sand on the bottom of the pool. It is advisable to squeeze water into groups and let the hatchlings drill into the sand. Usually pay attention to maintain the necessary humidity of sand, too dry, sprinkle some water properly. In the winter season, it can be covered with straw and other materials for insulation. Do not freeze the sand. When temperature-controlled hatchlings hatch into the natural winter, they must gradually cool down after 5 to 7 days, until natural temperatures are available. Rapid winter cooling is one of the important reasons for the early death of hatchlings.
Seven, disease prevention and treatment. Change water frequently to keep the water fresh. Apply water once a week. One ten-thousandth of potassium permanganate aqueous solution and 2PPM furazolidone are used interchangeably. Ordinarily mix terramycin powder or furazolidone in the feed. Food tables should often be disinfected with bleach or quicklime. The hatchlings that are found to be sluggish or floating do not sink should be immediately diagnosed, treated with the right medicine, and treated promptly. We must always guard against cats, dogs, rats, snakes, ants and other enemies harming juvenile tortoises.
