Expansion: Precautions for raising flame turtles

Before raising flame turtles, breeders can prepare a container and pour clean water and sand into it. The water needs to be changed regularly during the feeding process. It should be noted that before changing to tap water, it needs to be dried for two days to allow the chlorine in the water to be decomposed before use.

The growth rate of flame turtles is relatively fast when they are young, so it is recommended to feed them once a day. After adulthood, they can be fed once every two days. Flame tortoises are omnivores, and breeders should mix meat and vegetables when feeding them to make their nutrition more balanced.

Flaming turtles need to bask in the sun regularly during the breeding process, so the breeder can set up a basking platform in the turtle pond. Turtles basking in the sun can sterilize and supplement calcium, which is of great benefit to health and can also make their colors more vivid.
