The diamond turtle is a beautiful turtle, I believe everyone will like the ground. Regarding the question of drill pattern breeding, you may be able to find the answer you want from here.
1, can the diamond pattern grow up and cross with any turtle?
A: You can hybridize with melanoma map turtles or map turtles, but the success rate is usually very low, which is why the price of map drills remains high.
2, can the second generation of hybrids reproduce normally after they are older?
A: The second generation of map miscellaneous diamonds can reproduce normally, and there have been many successful cases in China.
3, In addition to hybridizing with map turtles and melanoma, can you also hybridize with other Brazilian faces?
A: So far, I have not heard or seen any successful examples of this.
4, this turtle is generally a little more female or a little more male?
A: Sex is determined according to the incubation temperature, generally at 28-30 ° C is the female, below 26 ° C male cases are more, considering the hatching success rate is generally more than the female temperature.
5, how old is it to be able to separate male and female?
A: Generally above 10 centimeters can be determined to distinguish the male and female, look at the length of the tail and thickness can be seen at a glance.
6, can the drill seedlings hibernate?
A: Hibernation is not recommended for seedlings in the first year, and normal hibernation can be performed in the second year.
7, how to choose the kind of diamond seedlings that are not black?
Answer: The diamond pattern is more changeable, the seedlings are usually difficult to predict the future shell color, usually the shell color is yellowish and the head is not black, but it does not mean that the future must be yellow shell, some of the darker seedlings are also perfect in the later stage, if you pay special attention to the shell color, choose more than 6-7 cm of sub-adults.
8, What is the difference between pseudo-large flowers and large flowers?
A: More in terms of details, the large flower head pattern is thicker and more chaotic, and the abdominal nail is more concise.
9, some diamond-patterned seedlings dorsal nails are soft and normal?
Answer: The dorsal carapace of the drill seedlings is softer than other turtles, as long as it is not particularly soft, it can be improved after the larger one, and the tail seedlings are generally smaller and softer.
10, home power outage for a day, afraid of turtle cold any way?
A: If it is a winter power outage, you need to add a lid or plastic wrap or the like on the cylinder in time to reduce the temperature drop too fast, and the turtle friends with heating can move to the vicinity of the heating, or they can buy a pet heating package online in advance.
11, the diamond pattern is always floating on the water and does not like to sink the bottom of the matter?
A: It doesn't matter if this happens occasionally, if it is a long time, it may be that the water level is too deep and the water is too fast or the new turtle is physically weak when it arrives home, and it needs to be adjusted in time. Turtles in pneumonia enteritis will also float and need timely treatment.
12. How to treat enteritis with diamond tattoos?
Answer: The intestines of the drill pattern are much shorter than other turtles, prevention is greater than treatment, usually try not to feed live food and raw meat, do not feed a large amount at a time, if there is a butt floating, refusal to eat, poor appetite, thinning need to be isolated in time, it is recommended that the medicinal bath turtle worry-free with enteritis spirit, during the treatment period can not be fed constant temperature feeding generally one or two courses of treatment will be effective.
13, how much is the depth of drill water suitable?
A: The water level of seedlings below 10 cm is relatively safe, the water level of large seedlings below 30 cm, sub-formation and adult body are random, and the water properties of drilling are very good, but they should also be matched with sundecks, stepping stones or plastic flowers.
14, Do you need to put lazy leaves in the water?
A: This depends on personal habits in most cases is not needed, drill more like hard water lazy leaf will change the water quality.
15, is it okay to put some landscaping sand and stones in the water?
A: It is recommended that the bare tank feeding drill pattern is the best, the bottom sand is troublesome to clean up and easy to hide dirt and dirt, you can put a protein cotton in the filter box to easily create an air cylinder.
16, can this turtle be fed?
A: If you can feed, turtle food is best fed in a variety of ways, not just one.
17, drill seedlings only eat shrimp picky food how to do?
A: You can be hungry for a few days and then feed the turtle food that suits its size, it is not recommended to take dried shrimp as a staple food, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
18, the small flowers are a little floating, and the poop pulled out is green and viscous.
A: If it is enteritis, please refer to Article 12.
19, I heard that the diamond turtle belongs to the conservation breed, so can the player rest assured that it can be raised?
A: The diamond turtle belongs to the international second-level protected species, if the seller can issue a legal introduction certificate, you can buy with confidence (but not sell) and do not buy it. The proof generally includes: the license for the operation and utilization of aquatic wild animals, the license for artificial breeding of aquatic wild animals and the introduction agreement.
20, How old can the diamond-patterned turtles be mated and bred?
A: The breeding turtle generally takes three years, the female turtle takes about 4-5 years, and the general breeding mother needs about 2.5 pounds to lay eggs.
21, How much temperature is the most suitable for drilling?
A: 28 ° C is recommended, this temperature drill pattern grows faster and the appetite is more vigorous.
22, Do I have to match the sundeck and the lamp? What kind of sunburner is better?
Answer: The diamond pattern especially likes to dry the back, but also recommended to have more conditions, the sundeck is very necessary, of course, pay attention to the temperature difference, autumn and winter in the cylinder without a lid to consider removing the sundeck, the sundeck recommended sun lamp, especially cheap that is basically the heating function.
23, does the heating rod need to be opened all year round? Is it also open in the summer?
Answer: The drill pattern is a turtle species that needs to be heated, it is necessary to heat all year round, and the summer special high temperature weather can not be considered, but if it is in the early summer or late summer morning and evening cooling situation or to open the heating rod, we remember that even if the indoor temperature is relatively high, it is recommended to open the heating rod all the time, sometimes not for heating but to maintain the stability of the temperature.
24, Do I need to put coral stone to increase the alkalinity of water?
A: This should be suitable for the place, if the local water quality is soft, it is recommended to put coral stones, like our northern water quality is harder, you can not put it.
25, can you recommend several rations suitable for drilling?
Answer: Domestic such as inch gold, dolphins, foreign such as Decai, high enough to force, etc., it is recommended to prepare three kinds of turtle food for feeding, do not eat a single brand of turtle food for a long time, it is also recommended to eat regularly with turtle worry-free mixture can effectively reduce turtle enteritis, reduce stress, reduce mutual bites and rotten skin.
26, how to deal with the drill seedlings at home?
A: First take a good unboxing video, take out to observe whether there is any abnormality and then place a quiet and cool place for 30 minutes, and then take out some water from your turtle tank to let the seedlings adapt to the water temperature and water replenishment, after about 10 minutes into the tank, it is best to soak in the "turtle worry-free" (a suitable for turtles to use chinese proprietary drugs), containing vitamins and electrolytes can reduce stress response, enhance disease resistance and other benefits, can not be soaked regularly, I have been using.
27, how to prevent group breeding or bite situation?
A: In addition to individual differences, you can regularly take a medicinal bath or mix the "turtle worry-free" to eat, and then buy a few pieces of cuttlefish bone to put in the turtle tank, the turtle long-term food will lack some of the vitamins and trace elements needed for growth, plus the drill pattern itself is very "under" And it is easy to bite each other.
28, is the drill pattern easy to calcify?
A: Drill pattern calcification is from many previous articles, I actually do not agree, rather than saying that drilling is easy to calcifiate, it is better to say that drilling is easy to fungus to be more reliable, so don't worry about calcification, which is a very difficult problem.
29, often heard turtle friends say that the diamond pattern is 10 diamonds 9 fungi, really?
Answer: Drill infection fungus is extremely common, its principle is similar to people with hand and foot ringworm, and there is no very effective prevention program, such as more ventilation and more sun back regular water washing cotton, etc., are unable to really eliminate fungal infection, may only reduce the probability of infection, need to pay attention to is early detection on early treatment, fungal pre-toma is only a slight small area of whitish, irregular or flaky or dot-shaped, found that this situation on dry maintenance and coating "fungus extinction" can disappear in a day or two, Then apply "fungal extermination" once or twice a week or month.
30, I heard that the diamond pattern will molt its own shell after a few years, so the fungus is not cured?
A: My suggestion is absolutely not OK, the emergence of fungi do not go to effective treatment and let it go, will only make the fungal surface continue to expand until the spread of the whole body, including abdominal nails, skirt nails, etc., fungi have a certain corrosive will slowly invade the inside of the tortoiseshell, and then form fungal rot nails Treatment is very troublesome, the cycle is also extremely long, and the fungus is contagious If the group is raised, it is easy to infect other healthy turtles.
31, what should I do if the drill seedlings do not eat when they arrive home?
A: First of all, it is best to feed after two days of home, you can feed some fishy smell is heavier, that kind of open small particle turtle food, the premise of wanting to eat as soon as possible is to create a stable space, do not raise with the big turtle, do not feed directly in a particularly large space, in fact, in the case of stable temperature, in fact, the opening is only a matter of morning and evening. It is best not to feed raw meat and dried shrimp, and it is more troublesome to be picky in the later stage. You can also go home and soak "Turtle Worry-free" for three to five consecutive days to reduce these stress responses.
32, what should I do if the diamond pattern is always repeatedly rotten?
Answer: Rotten skin needs to pay attention to three aspects of water quality, temperature difference and stress, establish a stable water body to cultivate nitrifying bacteria, can change the water for about 5 days, each time a third or according to the water quality situation time and water change adjustment, but can not be fully changed water and must be isothermal water exchange, temperature difference refers to the temperature of the water body and the temperature of the air as far as possible to reduce the best control within 3 ° C, you can add a lid or plastic wrap in the cooling season, with a tanning table, conditional can turn on the sun lamp for 1-3 hours a day, If you still find that the skin is rotten and needs timely treatment, you can use povidone iodine during the day and the medicinal bath turtle at night to match the carrion without worry.
33, optimistic about many articles that say that drill patterns are better raised with brine, can they be raised with fresh water?
A: All domestic drill patterns, whether seedlings or adults, can be raised with fresh water, and only freshwater feeding is recommended, brine is not impossible, it is difficult for you to grasp the amount of salt and the method of subsequent treatment, which is not described here. In most areas, tap water or direct drinking water is OK, there is no need to use mineral water, etc., and in my experience, direct drinking water (that is, water that we can drink directly) can be used directly without sunbathing.
34, do not need to filter the drill pattern line?
A: Novices or individuals do not recommend this kind of breeding, because the water quality is difficult to stabilize, frequent replacement of all new water is more likely to cause rotten skin, if the temperature difference is not well controlled, it is easy to have enteritis and colds.
35. What do you need to pay attention to in terms of drill pattern feeding?
A: In terms of feeding, it is recommended to feed turtle food, it is best to feed multi-brand diversity, each time eating about 15 minutes, seedlings are only recommended to feed turtle food, once a day, if the cooling day to avoid feeding. 28 °C turtles have a particularly strong appetite, and it is recommended to feed less or not below 25 °C.
36, what should I do if the diamond seedlings are white-eyed?
Answer: White eye is the number one killer of drill seedlings, in the early stage of the eye will have abnormal performance, such as often scratching the eyes with claws, the corners of the eyes or around the eyes around the appearance of white objects, then eye drops 3-5 times a day, after the drop wait for half an hour and then into the water, must wait for the opening of the eyes and then drop the medicinal effect can be absorbed, the evening medicinal bath "turtle worry-free" with "severe Materia Medica" condition will soon be controlled, which also reminds the water quality to deteriorate, such as too many turtles or fish temperature difference.
37, what should I do if I have a cold and lungs?
Answer: Need to carry out medicinal bath treatment in time: "turtle worry-free" with "cold pneumonia spirit" heating 30 ° C plus lid, pneumonia is very easy to repeat the general treatment after two courses of treatment to continue to consolidate for a few days is better, the medicinal bath water level is slightly higher than the back can be, because "turtle worry-free" contains a variety of vitamins and electrolytes is very necessary to add.
38, how many subspecies are there in the diamond pattern? What kind of thing did I buy?
A: Seven subspecies, namely northern diamond pattern, Carolina diamond pattern, Texas diamond pattern, brocade diamond, Mississippi diamond, mangrove forest and Florida diamond, in fact, many subspecies have mixed species, the distinction is very difficult, now the market is mainly by name distinction such as: small flower, medium flower, large flower, card diamond, leopard, crown, Diamond, Brocade, Mangrove Forest.
I'm sure the topic of the diamond turtle will continue to be discussed.
The diamond pattern is eternal, one is eternal, and it is not finished to be continued...
