How to cultivate green-haired turtles? Cultivation method with Angelica and Pine Needle Solution
When using the yellow-margined box turtle (Mauremys mutica) or other aquatic turtles to cultivate green-haired turtles, whether using the green water method, direct method, grafting method, or spore water method, it takes at least 40-50 days before the sprouting tips of Basicladia chelonum (turtle-shell basicladia algae) can be seen emerging on the turtle shell. Only the Angelica and Pine Needle Solution method achieves the fastest sprouting of Basicladia chelonum and the best results. The formula for Angelica and Pine Needle Solution (calculated for cultivating 100 green-haired turtles): Angelica 200 g, fresh pine needles 200 g, brown sugar 100 g, calcium tablets 40 tablets, vitamin B12 20 vials.

What to Do About Low Hatch Rates in Female Turtles? Cause Analysis and Solutions
Artificial turtle farming has sprung up in many places in recent years, especially as the soft-shelled turtle market has flattened while the turtle market has held firm, prompting many soft-shelled turtle farmers to switch to turtles. But farmers have found that although some female turtles lay a good number of eggs, the fertilization rate is not high and the hatch rate is low, especially with eggs from turtles at their first laying age, where the fertilization rate is even lower. Many people assume the female turtle is the problem, little realizing that the cause does not lie with the female turtle at all, but is mainly related to factors in the male turtle itself. Through practice, people have found that in nature many animals show differences in the timing of sexual development

Symptoms and Prevention and Treatment Methods of White Plastron Disease in Soft-shelled Turtles
White plastron disease is a difficult and complicated turtle disease that has appeared since 1996. It is currently the most harmful turtle disease, with the highest mortality rate and the greatest treatment difficulty. If not treated in time, it can cause all of them to die. At present, there is considerable controversy over the pathogen of this disease. The reported pathogens include: 1) Bacteria: the pathogens are Aeromonas hydrophila, Proteus, and Edwardsiella tarda. 2) Virus: spherical virus with a diameter of 80nm. 3) Cross-infection: death occurs after viral infection is followed by secondary bacterial infection. The author believes that, based on the analysis of the particularly obvious effect of adding vitamins during treatment,

What are the prevention and control methods for soft-shelled turtle red plastron disease?
Cause: Caused by Aeromonas punctata infection. Symptoms: Sick turtles respond slowly to external stimuli. The most obvious sign of the disease is that the entire plastron becomes red and swollen or appears in a red patch pattern, accompanied by ulceration and edema. Some turtles bleed from the mouth and nose. Necropsy shows severe liver lesions; some are black; some are mottled. The intestines show localized or entire-segment congestion and inflammation; some have fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity. Prevention and control: 1) Control stocking density; 2) Improve the pond bottom substrate, and thoroughly clear the pond at the end of production;

Detailed Explanation of the Cultivation Technique for Green-haired Turtles Using Angelica Sinensis Liquid
When using the yellow-throated water turtle or other water turtle species to cultivate green-haired turtles, whether adopting the green water method, spore water method, direct method, or approach grafting method, it takes at least 40 to 50 days before the sprouting tips of the Basicladia chelonum buds can be seen on the turtle shell. Only by using angelica sinensis liquid to cultivate green-haired turtles is the sprouting of Basicladia chelonum the fastest and the effect the best. The formula for angelica sinensis liquid (water) is (calculated for cultivating 50 green-haired turtles): add 100 grams of angelica sinensis (mashed) to 100 liters of clean water, 100 grams of fresh pine needles (mashed), vitamin

Four Diseases to Guard Against in Golden Coin Turtle Farming
During the rearing of golden coin turtles, deteriorating pond water, excessive stocking density, mixed rearing of large and small turtles, improper feeding, cold damage and heat damage and other reasons often cause turtles to become ill or die. The four diseases that golden coin turtles are prone to and their prevention and treatment methods are introduced as follows: 1. Red neck disease. Symptoms: This disease mostly occurs in the plum rain season. Red spots appear on the diseased turtle's abdomen, the throat and neck swell, the neck stretches out and cannot be retracted, appetite decreases, and reactions become sluggish. When the condition is severe, there is bleeding from the mouth and nose, intestinal inflammation and erosion, and generalized redness and swelling, without

Raising red worms as feed for turtles and soft-shelled turtles delivers high economic returns
In turtle and soft-shelled turtle breeding ponds, small red worms often appear, swimming in clusters and sheets on the pond surface and in the corners, forming a layer of red water bloom on the water surface. The real name of the red worm is Cladocera, and it is a type of zooplankton in water bodies. It is composed of many planktonic flea species, with an average body length of about 1 mm. The normal body color of Cladocera is grayish white; it turns red only when the water is lacking oxygen, which is why red worms are mostly found in foul ditches. When large numbers of red worms are found in a turtle or soft-shelled turtle pond, it indicates that the pond water has begun to deteriorate,

What are some practical methods for protecting fish and soft-shelled turtles from the cold in winter?
1. Pond selection: Choose a deep-water pond (over 2 m deep) that is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun for natural overwintering. The water in the overwintering pond should not remain stagnant for long periods; usually replace part of the pond water every 20 to 30 days, each time replacing 1/4 to 1/5 of the total pond water, to prevent pond water contamination. 2. Set up windbreaks and cold-shelter holes: On the north side of the pond, a 2 m high windbreak can be built from straw or soil, and on the east and west sides, earthen walls sloping toward the south can be built in a dustpan shape to reduce the impact of the north wind, so that when a cold wave strikes, the water temperature will not drop significantly. Around the pond,
