How to feed turtles

How to feed turtle food: You can soak the turtle food in warm water for about 10 minutes. When soaking the turtle food, you can add some active vitamins, vitamins, calcium powder and other auxiliary foods. The comprehensive nutritional components in turtle food are very comprehensive, because turtle food is extracted from all turtle foods and then processed, but these chemical additives have an impact on the health of turtles, and long-term consumption is bound to be inappropriate. The reason why some friends choose turtle food is that they think turtle food is more troublesome and the finished turtle food is safe to use. Little do they know that there is no clear regulatory department in the field of turtle food, and the supervision of the production line links such as refining, processing, and packaging is not transparent. The so-called qualified standards still have certain errors in actual implementation.

What are turtle growth lines?

Growth lines: The tortoise shell forms lines similar to the annual rings of woody plants during the growth process.

Cause: During the growth and development of turtles, whether they are artificially raised or wild, the new tortoise shells expand relative to each other and arch up the old shells. Due to the difference in layers and pigments between the new and old shells, white or light yellow lines appear. After a period of time, these white or light yellow lines will gradually fade. Whether it is a turtle growing in the wild or under good artificial breeding, whether it is a land tortoise, a water tortoise, or a semi-aquatic tortoise, it can show growth lines to varying degrees. In particular, the growth lines of wild turtles are relatively uniform, and among wild turtles, the growth lines of hybrid turtles are the most stable and uniform.
