This article provides a core guide on how to raise stone turtles at home and how to properly breed them with green plant cultivation, offering some great tips and knowledge worth collecting!
The yellow-throated pond turtle, also known as the yellow-throated turtle, yellow-jawed turtle, small-headed turtle, fragrant turtle, stone turtle, and mountain turtle, belongs to the family Testudinidae, subfamily Emydinae, and genus Mauremys. Known for its docile temperament and lack of odor, it is the authentic breed for cultivating export-quality green-haired turtles, especially suitable for indoor or courtyard breeding by urban and rural residents.
Methods for raising stone turtles:
1. Feeding:
Stone turtle hatchlings eat less due to their small size, but they should not continue to eat so little as they grow. The amount of food should be determined based on the size of the hatchling. Turtles are picky eaters, and some foods are eaten while others are not. It's not advisable to feed turtles only one type of food; a balanced diet is necessary. For example, if turtle food is fed this time, then fruits and vegetables, fish, shrimp, and shrimp skins should be fed next time. This kind of balanced diet will help the turtle grow better.
2. Food:
Turtles can eat a variety of foods, but I think pork, commonly fed to them, should not be fed because some cuts have fat, which can easily make turtles sick. Instead of fatty meat, shrimp meat can be fed as it provides calcium, and fruits and vegetables can also provide calcium. For meat, shrimp meat and shrimp skins can be fed, as well as boneless fish. For fruits and vegetables, watermelon, steamed pumpkin, seedless grapes, bananas, and green vegetables can be fed. This diet will make the turtle's shell look beautiful.
3. Temperature:
The optimal temperature for turtles to eat is 25°C. If the temperature is below 20°C or above 30°C, turtles will stop eating.
4. Hibernation:
Hatchlings should not hibernate outdoors due to the risks involved. It is recommended to hibernate indoors using a heating rod, and once they grow up, they can hibernate outdoors. In colder areas, hibernation starts around September and ends in October. Turtles usually awaken as early as February or as late as March to April.
The above information on how to raise stone turtles at home and how to properly breed them provides specific details. It is hoped that this will bring some knowledge about flowers to green plant enthusiasts.
