Detailed Explanation of Egg Incubation Methods in Gecko Breeding
In the wild, the incubation of gecko eggs relies on natural temperature. The length of the incubation period is closely related to the ambient temperature and also closely related to how early or late the eggs are laid during the laying season. Eggs laid before July 15 that can hatch into juveniles in the same year are called same-year incubation eggs; eggs laid after July 15 of the year that cannot hatch into juveniles in the same year are called overwintering incubation eggs. The incubation period of same-year incubation eggs falls in summer and autumn, when temperatures are suitable and embryonic development is rapid. The embryonic period is 92-119 days, averaging 105.1 days, with an average accumulated temperature of 2875.65°C. The embryonic development period of overwintering eggs enters the low-temperature period of the year, and embryonic development is slow. The embryonic period is 280-315 days, averaging 297.5 days, with an average accumulated temperature of 5738.05°C. If the accumulated temperature during hibernation is excluded, the embryonic period of overwintering incubation eggs is actually 116-134 days, averaging 125 days, with an average accumulated temperature of 2961.9°C. It can thus be seen that, excluding the hibernation period, the embryonic periods and accumulated temperatures of same-year incubation eggs and overwintering incubation eggs are similar. <p>In the wild, the incubation of gecko eggs relies on natural temperature.

Experiments show that when gecko embryonic development enters the seventh day, the embryo can already be distinguished with the naked eye. There are marks on the yolk, and the appearance is dark gray. When the yolk is separated with tweezers, relatively obvious block-shaped embryos can be seen, about 4 mm in length. By the tenth day, the head can already be distinguished, and two black eye spots are clearly visible. At 50 days of embryonic development, it moves when touched. At 91 days of embryonic development, the yolk has basically disappeared or only a little remains, embryonic development is complete, and the juvenile gecko is curled up inside the eggshell.</p><p>Whether a fertilized egg can develop normally depends, apart from the internal factors of the egg itself, mainly on external environmental factors, namely temperature and humidity. The length of the incubation period is directly related to the incubation temperature. Within the temperature range for embryonic development, the incubation period is short when the temperature is high and long when the temperature is low. The temperature for embryonic development is 20-37°C. Below 20°C, embryonic development stops; at 20-25°C, embryonic development is slow; at 26-37°C, embryonic development is fast; above 38°C, embryonic development death can occur. The most suitable humidity for embryonic development is 70%-85%. Experiments prove that a relative humidity of 50%-90% is acceptable for gecko egg incubation. A relative humidity below 50% will cause fertilized eggs to lose water and affect embryonic development. Long-term relative humidity above 90% will cause fertilized eggs to mold, also affecting embryonic development. Therefore, during artificial incubation, humidity should be controlled at 70%-85%.</p>

How to safely get abalone through the summer when farmed in the south
It is understood that abalone has very high requirements for the water temperature of the farming sea area, and its suitable growth water temperature is around 20°C. Once summer arrives, northern varieties such as black abalone and Pacific abalone introduced to the south will die in large numbers because the water temperature is too high, while at this time the water temperature in northern sea areas such as Qingdao is relatively suitable

What problems are there with forage feeding in hare farming?
Hare is the collective name for animals under the genus Lepus and four species in the genera Caprolagus and Pronolagus. Hares are very agile, and the European hare can run at 72 km per hour. In the Arctic regions of North America, the snowshoe hare is relatively common, while in the south the California hare, ⟦4 <p>Hare is the collective name for animals under the genus Lepus and four species in the genera Caprolagus and Pronolagus. Hares are very agile, and the European hare can run at 72 km per hour. In the Arctic regions of North America, the snowshoe hare is relatively common, while in the south the California hare, prairie hare and other species are relatively common.</p><p></p><p>Hares feed on wild grasses, leaves and other plants. In captive breeding, feed sources are wide-ranging; all kinds of pasture grass, green vegetables, straw and so on can be used for feeding. Generally, green feed and succulent feed are given in the morning and at midday, and green feed plus a small amount of pelleted feed in the evening. </p><p>Wild green grass, most tree leaves and crop by-products are important sources of green feed for hares. According to the feeding characteristics of green feed, it can be divided into three major categories.</p><p>1. Staple category</p><p> 1) Tree leaves: mainly mulberry leaves, willow leaves, alder leaves, black locust leaves, redbud leaves, tree-of-heaven leaves, and white poplar leaves.</p><p> 2) Wild weeds: in summer and autumn there are grass-family green grasses such as brome, foxtail grass, Kentucky bluegrass, oats, barnyard grass, thatch grass and bamboo, as well as field weeds such as field wormwood, groundsel and water dropwort; in winter and spring there are shortawn foxtail, limpograss, thatch grass and wild oat grass, etc.</p><p> 3) Vegetable by-products: all kinds of melon leaves, bean leaves, carrot leaves, lettuce leaves, green vegetable leaves, Chinese cabbage leaves, etc.</p><p> 4) Crop by-products: sweet potato vines, corn leaves, sorghum leaves, broad bean leaves, peanut vines, pea vines.</p><p>2. Beneficial category</p><p>Hares do not like to eat these, but they can be eaten; the amount used should not be too much.</p><p> 1) Tree leaves: citrus leaves, cypress leaves, mulberry leaves and pine needles; they respectively have the effects of preventing colds, preventing diarrhea and clearing heat.</p><p> 2) Wild weeds</p><p>① Heat-clearing and detoxifying category: cactus, honeysuckle vine, houttuynia, dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, selfheal, reed bamboo leaves, water coptis, lysimachia, watermelon rind, misgurnus string, plantain; in addition, sweet wormwood also has the effect of preventing coccidiosis.</p><p>② Warming the middle and dispelling cold category: perilla, Mexican tea, shepherd's purse, ageratum, smilax glabra.</p><p>③ Sterilizing and strengthening the spleen category: mainly garlic, garlic sprouts, onion leaves, small onion leaves, Chinese chives, celery; they contain phytoncides and also have antidiarrheal and deworming effects.</p><p>3. Non-beneficial category</p><p>Tests and practice have shown that some green grasses and wild vegetables cannot be used to feed hares, so as to avoid poisoning and death.</p><p> 1) Under no circumstances should the following toxic green grasses and wild vegetables be fed: potato vines, tomato vines, larch, globeflower, Chinese pulsatilla, deciduous azalea, wild ginger, larkspur, castor bean, ragwort, monkshood, black henbane, white henbane, belladonna, water taro, harmel, datura flower, wild grape vine, langdu, etc.</p><p> 2) Some green grasses and green vegetables, when fed to rabbits at a certain stage of growth and development, can easily cause poisoning. For example: yellow and white flower grass, and osmanthus are toxic when in bud and flowering, and must not be fed to rabbits; buckwheat and wild rape are toxic when flowering, and must not be fed to rabbits; flax is toxic when the seeds and stems are mature, and must not be fed to rabbits; feeding potato sprouts to rabbits easily causes poisoning.</p><p> 3) For lactating female hares, after eating colchicum, wet forest grass anemone, medicinal hound's tongue, wood sorrel, wild onion, stinking chamomile, arcuate rock cress, reed, tansy and poison hemlock, the milk carries an unpleasant odor, and the young rabbits will be poisoned after nursing.</p><p> 4) Corn seedlings, sorghum seedlings, potato leaves (containing solanine), castor leaves (containing ricin), and second-growth sorghum seedlings that regrow after autumn also must not be fed to rabbits.</p><p>4. Unusable category</p><p> 1) Moldy and spoiled feed.</p><p> 2) Forage carrying mud, dust or sharp thorns.</p><p> 3) Vegetables, tree leaves and green grasses that have been sprayed with pesticides, while the efficacy period has not expired.</p><p>4) Feed carrying rainwater, dew or frost.</p><p>5) Feed contaminated by feces or urine.</p><p>6) Sprouted potatoes and sweet potatoes with black spot disease.</p><p>7) Legume feed that has not been steamed, boiled or roasted.</p><p>8) Large amounts of forage such as Swiss chard, spinach and Chinese milk vetch.</p>
