In your spare time, if you can sit by the turtle pond and quietly watch a few cheerful turtles play in the water. Such a scene is the longing in the hearts of every turtle keeper, and it is also the state of life that turtle keepers enjoy. However, not everyone has such an open-air turtle environment, and for turtle farmers who do not have this environment, how can they make their turtles grow up healthily?
After all, we all say that turtles need to be close to nature, and it will be more advantageous to choose to keep turtles in the open air. So, raising turtles in the open air is just leaving the turtle outside? That's too perfunctory to understand. After all, it's breeding, and we still have to use snacks.
First of all, we need to understand that there are many advantages to raising turtles in the open air. The abundance of sunlight is incomparable to the indoor environment, and sunlight is the source of all life on earth, and turtles are no exception. And, with proper construction, we can also create a cool place for the turtles to avoid being harmed by the heat. In addition, the open-air environment allows turtles to enjoy the natural four seasons of day and night, which is conducive to the adjustment of their biological clock and biological rhythm. At the same time, such an environment also helps to cultivate a body of water with stable microcirculation, reducing the number and frequency of water changes.
Secondly, the turtle can get regular four seasons of day and night. Turtles also have their own biological clocks, their own biological rhythms. We all know that irregular work and rest will lead to some disorders in the body's functions. The same is true for the turtle, our people's lights or activities affect its normal work and rest, and it will also have an effect on its health and energy.
However, despite the advantages of an open-air environment, not all turtles are suitable for keeping in such an environment. Tropical turtles, for example, have a warm climate throughout the year and are unable to adapt to the climate of the region with four distinct seasons. Therefore, it may not be the best choice for this type of turtle species to keep it outdoors all the time. In addition, turtle species that are sensitive to temperature and humidity may also die if the layout of the outdoor environment is not done properly. The environment is too cold in winter to adapt to.
Therefore, when choosing an open-air breeding environment, we need to have a general understanding of the species of turtles we are keeping. According to their different habits, choose a suitable environment for breeding. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the changes in the temperature of the surrounding environment, after all, the outdoor temperature is not as stable as the indoor temperature, and there are many uncontrollable factors.
In order to solve this problem, we can consider measures such as shading from the heat and winds and rain. In addition, we also need to eliminate some factors that can cause harm to turtles, such as rodent infestation, aggressive animals such as cats and dogs, and some aggressive birds.
Keeping turtles in the open air is an ideal state, but not everyone can have such an environment. We live in the town, and at most we only have balconies available, which is also semi-open-air. If there is really no way to raise turtles, you can only raise them indoors, with a reasonable environmental layout and back lights, you can also raise turtles well. Keeping this thing is not absolute, and if we can provide the turtle with the conditions it needs to survive, the faster it can adapt.
As long as we can understand the habits of our turtle species, and provide them with a suitable environment and daily maintenance, we can make them grow healthily, both indoors and outdoors.
