Chinese grass turtle, this is already a household name "famous turtle", almost our friends who play turtle will understand it. Whether it is a hobbyist or a farmer, whether they have it on their hands or not, they will know that it exists. And in terms of total, Chinese grass should be regarded as the second and third oldest in addition to the Brazilian turtle. At the same time, the breeding technology is very skilled. In contrast, in fact, the Chinese flower turtle and the grass turtle are similar, can be regarded as brothers, but the grass turtle is more popular. Probably because there are more "styles" of grass turtles, golden thread grass, silver thread grass, tiger striped grass, big head grass, spotted grass, albino grass, etc., there are still many patterns, and there are key inks. Flower turtles have relatively few novel things, and the adult female turtles are too big, and many families are not suitable. In addition, everyone often rumors that the flower turtle is the rotten skin of the rotten armor king, so that the flower turtle has always been less popular than the grass turtle.
However, although the grass turtle is simple and attractive, it has charm, but in fact, most of the friends who raise grass turtles still face the same problem. As an entry-level variety recommended by many turtle friends, in addition to the price advantage, grass turtles do not have favorable conditions for breeding. There are turtle friends who raise a hundred and will be wiped out by the whole army next year; even if there are one or two turtles at the end of the year; and there are many who start to hang on to the floating water after returning home. In short, for the breeding of grass turtles, the degree of praise and depreciation is different, and most turtle friends still learn the experience of raising turtles in grass turtles.
Raising grass turtles, we still have to face a lot of unnecessary trouble, the so-called entry-level, Xiaobian has always thought that it is just the price. The elders of the turtle circle have always said this to the farmers who have just entered the pit: after raising grass turtles, other turtles are no longer a problem. It can be seen that on the road to raising grass turtles, not everyone can be smooth.
What's the trouble with grass turtles? Stress response, the serious stress response of the grass turtle flower turtle is experienced by many turtle friends. Self-tension, adrenaline rush leads to internal organ lesions, you can't do anything about it. What floating water, rotten skin and rotten nails, and not opening their eyes can be derivatives of the stress response. In contrast, the yellow throat of the same national turtle will not appear so serious. Similarly, the Brazilian face class and the egg turtle class will be relatively better. Turtles will have a stress response, but the population will be different, and the degree will be different. But this is also a personal feeling, everyone feels differently, of course, you can have your own different opinions and opinions.
Whether the grass turtle is a seedling or a large turtle, the rest of the home is the key, and the quiet and sheltered water environment plus sunlight will be a critical moment for the grass turtle to stabilize its mood. If we can survive quietly, in fact, the problem of rotten skin and rotten nails is still rare, as long as we usually do not do too much. Generally when the new turtle arrives home, you can check whether there is a carapace squeezed or scratched, and the injured place is the most likely to cause rotten nails. Normally, our breeding will not easily appear rotten nails, but the rotten skin may be due to seasonal climate influences. But this editor usually does not care, will heal himself. Of course, this should be decided according to their actual situation, and individuals behave differently. The above is only a personal opinion, for reference only.
However, the trouble of grass turtles is not only stress response, but also tail biting, and multiple turtle breeding bites that you don't want. More avoidance and increased water volume and feeding space will better avoid this problem. Injured, rotten individuals are isolated in time, otherwise they are the target of attack.
A little bit of poor care, to a cold enteritis or the like to torture you, haha, or make you cry and laugh. To tell the truth, Xiaobian personally believes that it is really difficult to raise in the early stage, and whether it can be quietly raised is a test. Once we can smoothly pass through one to two years, as long as we don't toss and turn ourselves, we are still very patient. In addition to growing slower, it is really very skinny. The main thing is that in the first two years, you have to do it.
