Chinese flower turtle, also known as pearl turtle, how to raise it?

Flower turtles are entry-level turtles and are easy to raise. The poster’s turtle has not started eating after being moved to a new environment, so don’t worry. Some turtles only start eating after several months, and It is easier for turtles bought in summer to start eating, but it is relatively late for turtles bought in winter. As the hibernation period approaches, the appetite and energy of turtles are not as good as before. Whether in the water or on the shore depends on the turtle's own preferences, it doesn't matter. As for the poster who said that the turtle's elbows and claws appear white, just add a small amount of amoxicillin to the water. Remember to change the water frequently. Poor water quality will cause the turtle's skin to turn white. In severe cases, it will cause the turtle's skin to turn white. It will turn into rotten skin disease. Since the turtle doesn't eat now, you can add some multivitamin tablets to the water to supplement the turtle's physical strength and ensure the supply of nutrients. Try not to use boiled water for raising turtles. The oxygen content in it is too low, which is not good for the turtles' health. In fact, the closer the turtles are to the natural ecology, the better, so let the tap water dry for 24 hours before using it for the turtles. That's it.

The food of turtles is very mixed, especially for flower turtles. Don’t listen to those things on the Internet. Turtles are just like us, and they like to eat different things. My flower turtles are also female. , now 4 years old, loves to eat fish and won’t eat anything vegetarian. If your turtle doesn't eat, it probably means it's not interested in mealworms. Usually, to start eating, turtles need something with a fishy smell to stimulate it and arouse its appetite. Cut the small fish into small pieces, or feed them red worms (live It likes things more), most of the dozen or so turtles in my house feed on nematodes.

Also, the host must ensure that the water temperature is stable. Suspension of water temperature is the main cause of tortoise pneumonia, so it cannot be ignored. Turtles need to bask in the sun, which is very important. If there are no conditions, you can use incandescent lamps instead to maintain light.

I don’t know what the temperature is like in the poster’s place. Turtles don’t eat much when it’s around 18 degrees, and they enter hibernation when it’s below 13 degrees. Please be careful.
