I found a turtle while traveling in Wuhan. Please help me to see what species it is, what habits it has and how to raise it …

Commonly known as tortoise, it is one of the most widely distributed and abundant turtles in China. The whole body is a treasure, which is regarded as the top grade of food tonic and medicine tonic in Shennong Herbal Classic and Compendium of Materia Medica. China has always regarded it as a symbol of health and longevity. China grass turtle is very popular in the international market. People in Japan, the Philippines, Europe and America regard it as a symbol of "good luck and long life".

Choose a turtle pond that is sheltered from the wind, sunny and convenient for irrigation. (1) land. General water depth 1-1.5m, bottom slope 1: 2 or1.

: Three water inlets and outlets shall be provided. In the pond, duckweed, water peanut or water hyacinth are kept in the shade of about 65,438+0/3 of the pond area. A fence with a height of 0.5- 1 m is built around the pond, and the foundation of the fence is buried 30 cm to prevent turtles from fleeing. Leave an open space in the wall with a length of 1.5 m and a width of 1 m (several areas can be reserved); Or leave an island in the pool, accounting for about 5% of the total area, and pile an appropriate amount of sand on the island of the open river for turtles to lay eggs. (2) Concrete floor. Pond depth 1.3- 1.5m, water depth 0.5-0.8m, soil 20cm. There should be water inlets and outlets for irrigation and drainage in the pond, islands should be set in the pond, weeds should grow, and sand piles should be placed in the grass. The stocking density of adult turtle ponds is generally 5-7 per square meter, and the highest is 10.

The living space of soft-shelled turtle determines its healthy growth and directly affects the breeding effect. Therefore, the farm is required to choose a place facing south, with abundant sunshine, fresh air, sufficient water, convenient drainage, no pollution and no noise.

There are many living environment factors for soft-shelled turtle, and water for breeding is the most direct, basic and important living condition for soft-shelled turtle. The requirements for aquaculture water are as follows: first, the water source should be free from any harmful pollution (including industrial chemical pollution, domestic sewage pollution and agricultural drug pollution, etc.). Secondly, water bodies should be monitored and regulated regularly. Prevent the generation of harmful substances, avoid the deterioration of water bodies, and prevent the generation or infiltration of chromium, cadmium, phenol, aldehyde, hydride and sulfide, otherwise it will threaten the survival of turtles and turtles and directly threaten human health. In this regard, attention should be paid to adjusting the clarity and transparency of water bodies; Reduce ammonia nitrogen, increase dissolved oxygen, adjust and make good use of algae plants.

Pollution-free imitation ecological environment construction includes:

(1) Draw a piece of land around the turtle pond, plant some grass and small trees, and lay a sand belt. This can not only adjust the temperature around the turtle pond, but also provide shelter for turtles to go ashore to lay eggs and dry their backs at low temperature in summer.

⑵ Planting a small amount of water hyacinth or water hyacinth (about 1/3) in A fish pond can absorb harmful heavy metals and substances in water, inhibit ammonia nitrogen concentration in water and control water fertility. At the same time, it can also reduce and stabilize the water temperature in summer. In addition, it also provides a place for young turtles to live and bask in their backs. For turtle's parents, this is a shady mating place.

(3) Intercropping tilapia, crucian carp, Siniperca chuatsi and Siniperca chuatsi in the pond, stocking about 1 ~ 2 per square meter. Its advantages are that it can turn over the bottom mud, accelerate the decomposition of organic matter, eat some turtle dung and some algae that are difficult for other fish to digest, accelerate the energy cycle of water body and maintain the ecological balance of water body.

Turtles belong to water turtles (whether they are water turtles or semi-habitat turtles is still controversial). Breathing with lungs naturally depends on water. Interestingly, the diet and defecation of grass turtles are basically carried out in water. So if you want to raise grass turtles, don't forget to create a water environment for them.

The water body where the grass turtle lives should be fresh, and the transparency of the water should be about 30 cm. Turtle is a temperature-changing animal, and the change of water temperature will directly affect the change of turtle's body temperature, so the water depth will increase or decrease with the change of seasons. In spring, the temperature is low and the water is shallow, generally about 0.5 meters; In summer, the temperature is high, the water depth is deep, and in autumn, the water temperature gradually drops and the water is shallow; The water level should be stable in winter, because the turtle's body temperature changes with the rise and fall of air temperature and water temperature. If the temperature drops sharply and the water level rises and falls, the tortoise can only use its accumulated nutrients to regulate its body temperature. When the nutrients in the body are exhausted, it will die.

Generally, tap water is mostly used to raise water turtles, which basically belongs to neutral water, and its hardness and pH meet the requirements of raising water turtles. There is no need to worry too much about this (except for some exceptional varieties, such as Zuiwen, Mata, Japanese stone turtle and nail neck). ). However, to raise water turtles with tap water, chlorine gas must be removed. The main methods are drying method and chemical method.

The selenium drying method can only be used for two days in the hot sun, or for four to six days in a place with insufficient light.

Chemically, sodium thiosulfate is used to remove chlorine, and the ratio is 10kg water 1g sodium thiosulfate, which can be used after stirring and dissolving.

Turtles eat a wide range of food, such as small fish, shrimp, snails, mussels, vegetables, rice and wheat. Generally, people begin to eat when the water temperature rises above 15 degrees, and the peak period is from June to September. In 165438+ 10, the food intake begins to decrease, and when the water temperature drops below 5 degrees, they enter hibernation. The temperature is low in spring and autumn, and the feeding time is best at 8-9 am. In midsummer, turtles move in the morning and evening, and the feeding time should be 4-5 pm. The daily feeding amount accounts for about 4-5% of the body weight. During the peak feeding period, the tortoise's weight can increase by about 50-70 grams per month.

The water in which turtles live should be fresh, and the transparency of water should be about 30 cm. Turtle is a temperature-changing animal, and the change of water temperature will directly affect the change of turtle body temperature. So the depth of the pool water will increase or decrease with the change of seasons.
