In life, we have no shortage of people who dare to innovate and try to break through, that is, human beings have the spirit of adventure, trial and innovation, and will have qualitative breakthroughs in many fields. In fact, there are many turtle friends in the turtle circle who are willing to try and break through themselves, try new ways, find out the best way for themselves, and raise the best turtles.
In fact, you should give praise to such turtle friends, and many turtle friends are willing to share their breeding experience and experience, which is very rare. Originally, the fruits of their hard work, there is no need to talk too much to people who have never met, but there are turtle friends who dare to innovate, try and share fun, thank them for their selfless sharing. Recently, a turtle friend shared his results in the past three years about "feeding turtles with different food structures and frequencies", and he is still very grateful for his sharing. Although our own experiments are not so rigorous scientific ideas, they also solve many doubts from a small perspective, and the spirit is also worth encouraging.
First of all, the object of the experiment is still the main water turtle, as for the related attempts of the half water turtle, there are also turtle friends working hard, but the overall level is still relatively small. Let's talk about the sharing of this turtle friend, as an experimental object, or the most common turtles, namely grass and yellow throat. Two in one group, one grass and one throat, divided into four groups.
The first and second groups were fed turtle food, and the pure feeding was turtle food. The first group of turtle food is more common, that is, the price is relatively low, and it also belongs to the batch number and formula identification of regular manufacturers. I will not disclose the specific types, otherwise there is a suspicion of advertising, haha. The second group is turtle food, that is, relatively high-end brands with high prices, as everyone calls them. The third and fourth groups were fed natural foods, fish and shrimp meat. But the frequency is different, the third group is diligent and fast, and the fourth group is fed two or three times a week. In the case of temperature drop, the amount is reduced as appropriate.
From the seedlings to the belt, this is conducive to the observation of the results, and will not cause interference because of the previous different feeding conditions. Turtle friends have been breeding for almost three years. The fastest growth rate is still the third group, feeding fish and shrimp and other meat foods, the individual growth rate is almost twice that of the first group. However, due to food structural problems, the phenomenon of overeating decreased and activity decreased during the third group of feeding, which was solved by reducing the amount and frequency of feeding, and stopping. Fortunately, it is not too serious a problem, otherwise there would be one less set of "data". It shows that long-term feeding of meat high-protein foods, or pay attention to frequency and quantity, indigestion does exist.
The first group was the slowest, and the second group was slightly slower than the third group, but faster than the fourth group. The effect of food on growth is highlighted. In fact, for the small turtle, the conditions allow or protein food, the growth needs well, turtle food as an aid. The older you grow, the more the proportion of turtle food increases. Wouldn't it be scientific to feed like this?
In addition, when it comes to the appearance, in addition to the damage such as the tip of the broken tail, the texture of the slow-growing group is clear in terms of feeding reasons alone. The third group actually fed natural food, but because of the high frequency of feeding, it was not the best looking in the end. The first set of textures is the most refined, but on the whole, the second and fourth groups will be better, the texture is not bad, and the growth rate is good. It will also be better in color.
It seems that nutrition problems, one is to be sufficient, not excessive; the other is to be as rich as possible. As for feeding turtle food, the growth rate is not the same, this estimate is related to the protein composition of the grain, some are animal proteins, some are plant protein extraction, there will indeed be a difference, but the cost of people is also where. And want to low prices and want good, unlikely.
Although the simple experiment cannot fully explain anything or exclude the particularity, it also provides a lot of reference for raising water turtles. Good villains are also the result of three years of observation, and this kind of research spirit alone is rare.
Thanks again to turtle friends for sharing!
