Mini pearl turtles will not recognize their owners. Because mini pearl turtles cannot have complex emotions like mammals. Although the mini pearl turtle does not know its owner, after being raised for a long time, the pearl turtle will develop a conditioned reflex, become accustomed to the owner's feeding, and will no longer be afraid of the owner. And if the owner wants to interact with the turtle, it is best to do it during feeding. This can train it to form a reflex and reward it with food after it makes an action.

How to raise mini pearl turtles

1. Pay attention to temperature changes. The temperature difference should not be too large. As a cold-blooded animal, it is very sensitive to temperature changes, 22~28 ℃ is the most suitable temperature for its life.

2. Ordinary tap water can feed it, but it needs to be exposed to the sun for two days before use, or use a chlorine remover to remove the chlorine in it. And the water should be changed regularly to keep the water clean. About one-third or one-fourth of the water should be changed each time. The frequency does not need to be too high, usually once or twice a year.

3. Mini pearl turtles are best fed live bait. Generally, fish and shrimp are the best choice, which can also provide them with a large amount of nutrients.
