Big-headed turtles can be raised in deep water. Big-headed turtles are aquatic turtles. Natural big-headed turtles live in streams near hills. Under artificial breeding conditions, big-headed turtles can adapt to deep water areas and can be kept in cement ponds, ponds, etc. In addition to deep water requirements, big-headed turtles also have relatively high requirements for water quality. Spring water, well water, etc. are of course the best.

Cultivation of big-headed turtles

1. Living environment: Make sure the surrounding environment is moist. The depth of the water is best around 10 to 15 centimeters to ensure the cleanliness of the water at all times.

2. Dietary habits: Big-headed turtles are omnivores and mainly feed on animal feeds such as worms, small fish, shrimps, snails, clams, clams, earthworms, animal carcasses and offal, hot pig blood, carrion, etc. For feeding, plant-based feeds are mainly plant stems and leaves, melon and fruit peels, wheat bran, etc.

3. Hibernation: Big-headed turtles have the habit of hibernating. When the temperature drops below 15 degrees, they gradually enter a state of hibernation. Their hibernation time generally lasts from November to April of the following year. When the temperature rises above 15 degrees, start normal activities and diet.

4. Growth and reproduction: After a short period of hibernation, tortoises will be busy mating, reproducing, eating more, accumulating more nutrients and energy for hibernation, and seeking a place to spend the winter. Big-headed tortoises are oviparous, with white and oval eggs. The egg-laying period is from May to September, with 2 to 7 eggs being laid each time.

5. Feeding and management: The number of big-headed turtles is very small. They are only found sporadically. They are all caught in the wild and almost never artificially raised. Their feeding and management methods are unclear. It is generally believed that they are similar to those of turtles.
