Many people say that it is the most cost-effective to buy turtles when a large number of turtle seedlings come out of the shell. Actually, it still makes a lot of sense. We know that there is also a season for turtles to lay eggs. The emergence of the first seedlings is often very exciting. When there is no large number of shells, the turtle seedlings on the market are either last year's big seedlings or last year's tail seedlings, and the number is relatively small. If the quantity is small, it will naturally be more expensive.
Especially those who are warmed and raised, I am afraid that it will not be easy to adapt to it after taking it home, and it is easy to raise to death. When a large number of shells are released, it is just the right time to choose the most suitable seedlings at the best price. It happens that July and August are the time when egg turtles emerge in large numbers. Many people are looking forward to the opening price of this year's egg turtle seedlings, is it the collapse that was shouted before, or is it still strong in the turtle circle? Turtle friends must be looking forward to it, so the merchants who accept it at a high level must be very nervous and do not want to continue to fall in price.
1. Seize the opportunity and buy wisely
If you're having a soft spot for razorhead, musk turtle or pit turtle in the near future, you may want to wait a little longer and postpone your purchase until mid-to-late July or August. This is the golden period for these popular turtle species to emerge in large quantities. A surge in supply in the market often brings subtle changes in price, as the old saying goes, "scarce is expensive" and vice versa.
When it is listed in large quantities, you may be able to encounter high-quality turtle seedlings with high cost performance, and even harvest unexpected surprises.
In addition, there is another advantage that cannot be ignored when choosing to start at this point in time - turtle seedlings are usually more physically strong. After a period of incubation and initial growth, they have initially adapted to the external environment, have strong vitality, and are easier to take root and grow in their new home.
2. Scientific maintenance and healthy growth
Once you've brought home your new chicks with great anticipation, the next step is crucial. First of all, for all newly arrived turtle seedlings, especially mud turtle seedlings among egg turtles, it is recommended to adopt the "water over the back" feeding method. This means that the water level should be just over the turtle's back and an extra two to three centimeters higher to ensure that they can breathe easily and swim freely. Such an environment not only allows the seedlings to feel safe and comfortable, but also promotes the healthy development of their dorsal carapaces.
However, while enjoying the world of water, we also need to pay close attention to changes in ambient temperature. Although summer temperatures are generally high, the temperature difference between morning and evening in some places can still adversely affect new turtle seedlings. Therefore, in areas where the temperature is unstable, even for cold-water turtle seedlings, it is recommended to maintain the water temperature through heating equipment to create a suitable environment for them to grow. However, this is rare, but because of the different regions, it is still subject to the local situation.
In addition, feeding management is also a part that cannot be ignored. When the water temperature is suitable, the turtle seedlings will have a relatively strong appetite. But remember not to overfeed because of this, so as not to cause indigestion and even gastroenteritis and other serious consequences. Especially when the water temperature is low, even if the turtle seedlings show a strong appetite, the feeding amount should be appropriately reduced or the feeding should be suspended, and the normal feeding should be resumed after the water temperature rises.
Another link is that if the turtle seedlings have just come out of the shell and the yolk has not been completely absorbed, you should not be in a hurry to feed them at this time. Because the yolk is the nutrient of the turtle seedlings, it can be used for the growth and survival of the turtle seedlings. That is to say, at this time, its stomach and intestines may not be fully developed, and if you feed a large amount, there is a high probability of gastroenteritis. Therefore, it will also be suggested that the yolk of the turtle seedlings is completely absorbed, and then consider feeding.
In short, although the road of turtle breeding is full of fun, it also requires our careful care and scientific management. By grasping the timing of purchase, scientific maintenance and reasonable feeding management, I believe that your new turtle friends will be able to thrive under your careful care and become a beautiful landscape in your life.
So how much do you expect from the next hatch and opening price of turtle seedlings?
