How to raise Chinese tortoises

The Chinese tortoise is a common pet turtle. Here are some tips on how to care for your Chinese tortoise:

1. Turtle tank selection: Choose a turtle tank of appropriate size for the tortoise to live in. The turtle tank should be large enough to accommodate the turtle's activities and growth. Ensure adequate water and land areas are provided to meet the tortoise's needs.

2. Temperature and light Tortoises need suitable temperature and light conditions. Provide a warm environment, maintaining the temperature at 24-28 degrees Celsius. The temperature in the land area is between 28-32 degrees Celsius. Use appropriate heaters and lighting to maintain constant, gentle light.

3. Drinking and humidity: Provide clean fresh water for tortoises to drink, and ensure that the water quality remains clear. In addition, in order to meet the humidity needs of tortoises, a shallow water basin can be placed in the turtle tank to spray the inside of the turtle tank to increase humidity.

4. Diet: Grass is an omnivorous animal that mainly feeds on plants, including vegetables, fruits, weeds on the grass, etc. to ensure a rich and diverse food supply to meet its nutritional needs. At the same time, you can also add some animal proteins in appropriate amounts, such as insects, small fish, etc.

5. Cleaning and hygiene: Clean the turtle tank regularly to remove waste and keep food. Cleaning your turtle tank helps prevent disease and maintain good water quality.

6. Veterinary care: Take the tortoise to the veterinarian regularly for health check-ups, and perform preventive deworming and vaccination according to the veterinarian's recommendations.

Please note that these are just suggestions and specific care methods may vary based on individual differences. If you are a first-time tortoise, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or professional reptile breeder for more detailed and personalized guidance.
