With the process of urbanization, more and more people have entered the city, and the secondary and tertiary industries continue to gather in the cities. It has also increased the number of cities and towns, and the scale of urbanization has further expanded. From the real estate that has been hot in recent years, we can see the progress of urbanization.
Although urbanization is increasing, people seem to feel more lonely. Pets are increasingly entering people's lives. Of course, there are more and more people who keep turtles as pets in the family, and the benefits of turtles as pets need not be said. Many turtle friends have chosen grass turtles, Brazilian turtles, flower turtles, musk turtles, yellow-headed side-necked turtles and yellow-edged closed-shell turtles, Sulcata and so on from many turtle species.
In fact, there are not many turtles suitable for raising in urban families. First of all, you must be able to adapt to the family environment. In towns, the source of water we can use is tap water. Water in small towns may be fine, but in some large cities, tap water is quite high in chlorine. Generally sensitive people can smell the "smell" of water. Excluding our pretreatment of water, the turtle also had to adapt slightly to the stimulation of tap water. At least it does not cause rotten skin and rotten nails, swollen eyes and the like.
The second is that living in the town, there will inevitably be some noise, the existence of air pollution, and nature's tranquility, fresh air can not be compared. Failure to adapt to these unfavorable environments is bound to affect the healthy growth of the turtle.
Some downhill turtles, or turtles with high environmental requirements (such as the yellow-fronted box turtle), are actually not suitable for us to keep at home. Because we have limited conditions and space that we can offer. When we are usually raised, we always like to pursue the outer pond, or wild, so that the turtle has a good physique and a good shell color and skin color, which is not false. But the environment we can provide for it is limited, and there is really no guarantee of its health after that. Unless you have a big space and a natural environment, that's ok.
There are also many turtle friends who suggest that you can buy some turtles that are cultivated in large areas, have a long history of breeding and have a low reproductive rate. In this way, it has multiplied for several generations and gradually integrated into our human life. Therefore, the most popular is probably grass, flowers, yellow throat, Brazil, etc., which have undergone many generations of artificial breeding, and the country's breeding area is wide. Among them, especially the yellow throat, the requirements for water quality are lower than those of grass and flowers, and it is easier to adapt to our urban life.
Therefore, when we choose the turtle as a partner, we combine our own conditions and give the turtle a condition that is stable for it.
Raising a good turtle not only depends on the turtle's own genetic genes, but also inseparable from our usual efforts and efforts.
