Yellow-fronted, a beautiful and fragile turtle species
Listed as an international critically endangered (CR) species, it is a second-class protected animal in China
However, every year, tons of yellow amounts enter China through various smuggling channels
Some of it goes to the player, and more goes to the stomach of the diners
From the beginning of the contact amount to the present, it has been more than ten years
I was very impressed by this gorgeous turtle
In the eyes of turtle friends, the yellow forehead is synonymous with violent death, and it will die at every turn to show you
However, the low price has made many turtle friends move
So there is a vicious circle of selling turtles, dead turtles, and buying again
In fact, as one turtle friend said
The yellow forehead is not too fragile, but too strong
So strong that you can't see the disease, wait until the disease dies
That's what you call violent death
People who have seen the smuggling of yellow foreheads will not feel that yellow foreheads are violent
Turtles come from the mountains with medicine or dogs
Hoarded to a certain amount and then transported from Southeast Asia into China over long distances
But you know the road conditions in Southeast Asia
They were packed in sacks with ice
This caused the downhill forehead to be more or less internally injured
After a period of time in the hands of the player
Some internal injuries are only revealed, light can also be treated, serious direct shelling
What's even more cruel is that the smugglers want to sell more money in order to sell more money.
Water will be injected into the body of the turtle with a syringe, and the turtle that is injected with water will undoubtedly die
(In recent years, due to the protests of downstream traders, the water injection situation has improved.)
There is also sand poured into the belly of the turtle
After experiencing the torture along the way, the yellow forehead reached the hands of the turtle friends, in fact, many of them only had half a life left
So it's very important to pick a healthy amount
Let's look at the feeding conditions
Yellow forehead, except for the black belly in Guangxi, China
In addition to the distribution of tropical areas such as Yunnan in Hainan, there are no pictures and Buchsie
They live in the tropical jungle,
In other words, if there is no climbing box manual heating
Yellow forehead is not suitable for raising in most parts of China
Because the humidity and temperature cannot reach the conditions of the original place
So it's not surprising that turtles get sick
Some turtle friends, including myself
When I first came into contact with the yellow forehead, I felt very happy to eat
I don't think it's so hard to raise, so I let them have a temperament
How much to eat, but the stomach of the lower mountain half-water turtle is very weak
Excessive feeding adds a burden to an already disordered stomach and intestine
It is easy to get enteritis, and if it is serious, it is shelled
The year before in Chengdu raised a very lively little black belly
During the National Day, I went out on a trip, and as a result, my roommates helped me feed more
As soon as the temperature came, immediately enteritis, and final injection treatment did not help
I'll never forget the look in his eyes when he looked at me, helpless and weak
So turtle friends, my advice is
It is better to feed less than more
Do your homework well before raising turtles
Don't rush to learn when the turtle arrives,
A qualified turtle keeper should be responsible for the turtle
A little experience, hopefully a little help in saving this beautiful species
