Pig-nosed turtles (definite introduction)
The reason why many people choose to raise pig-nosed turtles is because of their comparative length They are almost cute, and their noses are almost as good as those of pigs, which adds a lot of joy to them. However, all items must be heated for less than three minutes. Since you have chosen to raise them, you should be responsible for raising them well. So let’s talk about what you need to live if you want to raise a pig-nosed turtle.
The first thing you should understand when raising pig-nosed turtles is that adult pig-nosed turtles are more aggressive among species, and they will fight and bite because they compete for hiding places. Therefore, when raising, the density should not be too high, and sufficient hiding space needs to be prepared. Let each pig-nosed turtle you raise have a hiding place to avoid fights with each other.
The pig-nosed turtle is a highly aquatic freshwater turtle, so the aquarium used for raising it should be higher. Generally, it is about 60-80 cm long when it is young. When the pig-nosed turtle grows to more than 25 cm, , a larger aquarium is needed. In addition, pig-nosed turtles mostly move laterally, so the aquarium used must be wide enough.
Pig-nosed turtles not only have hiding habits, but also have digging behaviors. Therefore, it is best not to use bottom filtration when choosing a filtration method. Upper outer box filtration is the best filtration method. At the same time, in order to satisfy the digging habit of pig-nosed turtles, fine coral sand is the most suitable bottom sand. This kind of bottom sand is convenient for pig nose digging, has a smooth surface, and does not easily damage the skin of the pig nose. It can also adjust the water quality to be weakly alkaline, providing a more suitable water quality living environment for pig nose turtles.
Pig-nosed turtles have a mixed diet, and adult turtles eat a lot. Because they are naturally lazy, they do not automatically catch food. The pig-nosed turtle's eating principle is to wait and see what happens, and eat whatever it encounters. It won't be picky about the fat or the thin. Therefore, celery, fungus, cabbage, rice amaranth, green vegetables, apples, pears, tomatoes, lettuce, watermelon, grapes, cucumbers, etc., beef, shrimp, animal offal, mealworms, crickets, red bloodworms, etc. Pig-nosed turtles are definitely not picky or anorexic about their food, or may stop eating.
