Because the tortoises have relatively high environmental requirements, so It is not particularly recommended for turtle enthusiasts to raise this kind of turtle. The concave-shelled turtle is relatively easy to tolerate cold, so the temperature of 23 to 28 degrees is the most suitable temperature. A room temperature exceeding 32 degrees will cause the concave-shelled turtle to become sick. Here we provide some tips for raising and raising tortoises.

In terms of food, the turtle is more similar to the omnivorous mountain tortoise than to the vegan tortoise. They are not very interested in vegetables. Although most people have success with mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms and continue to feed mushrooms for a long time, in fact, mushrooms are not easily digested and often disappear. There are undigested mushrooms in the feces. Compared with other tortoises, fruits and meats with less sugar are more suitable for them. Bananas, bamboo shoots, melons, and tomatoes (feed less) can all be eaten, and meat can also account for 30% of the food (the help of meat is helpful for The concave armor plays a balancing role. The concave armor is not only more carnivorous than other tortoises, but also helps to strengthen the resistance. However, do not reduce the amount of meat fed just after starting to eat). The armor is very sensitive to the smell of food. Once fed new food with an unpleasant taste, it will vomit and resist it with its front paws. Do not feed seafood.

Frequency of feeding. Feeling eager to eat, many people are very excited when they see the turtles they just bought eating, so they continue to feed them and are keen to observe the turtles' eating every day. This is not good. When feeding the turtle, you should follow the principle of feeding enough at one time, and let the turtle eat 9 portions every time, or until it stops eating. Then feed again every 3 to 4 days. That is to say twice a week. This is to provide a sufficient digestion process and reduce the pressure of digestion. In many cases, the concave armor will stay in one place without moving for a long time, especially for a period of time after eating drum. Under normal circumstances, concave nails usually defecate 1 to 2 times a week. If the frequency of feeding is too dense, old and new foods will overlap in the stomach, which will not allow normal penetration.

Moisture compensation is very important. Many people who have raised chickens know that water absorption of chicken nails can be described as "drinking". However, it does not mean that drinking a lot of water and defecation are definitely caused by parasites or other serious infirmities. Some people think that the phenomenon of large amounts of water drinking in gallbladders is because they have the habit of storing water in their abdominal cavity for later use. On the one hand, it maintains the supply of water in the body, and on the other hand, it can regulate body temperature in a hot and dry environment, which is a bit like a hump. So soak in water frequently in summer. There is something to point out hereWhat this means is that individuals with injuries should soak in water carefully. The more common injuries of concave nails are extruded internal injuries that lead to carapace cracks and leakage of body fluids; rotten nails; and wound sensation caused when external parasites are removed. If you have any of these injuries, you need to wait until the wound is completely healed. Taking a bath before that will reverse the wound.
