Water Level for Golden Coin Turtle Breeding and How to Identify White Eye Disease in Stone Golden Coin Turtles

As living conditions continue to improve, many people are no longer satisfied with merely material satisfaction, and so they rise to satisfying themselves spiritually and begin to cultivate their inner life. Among them, quite a few people have started keeping turtles. Now let us introduce how to raise golden coin turtles and how to identify white eye disease in stone golden coin turtles.

How to raise golden coin turtles and how much water to add

1. As for how to raise golden coin turtles, in terms of nutrition, nutritional conditions are one of the factors with the greatest impact on golden coin turtles. In artificial breeding, you can feed animal-based feed such as earthworms, small fish and shrimp, snails, mussels, and poultry and livestock offal, and they also eat plant-based feed such as rice, noodles, grains, corn or melons and fruits. The daily food intake is 5%-10% of the turtle's body mass.

2. Golden coin turtles do not have high requirements for water quality. If breeding them in a fish tank, take care to simulate the natural environment by adding more shelters, aquatic plants and the like, so that the golden coin turtle can have a comfortable environment. Golden coin turtles like quiet and fear noise, like cleanliness and fear dirt, and like living in a quiet environment with fresh water quality, so the water color of the breeding pond should preferably be light green.

How to identify white eye disease in stone golden coin turtles

1. It is generally caused by unclear water quality, excessively high alkalinity, injury to the turtle's eye area, or long periods without sunlight during overwintering (hibernation), bacterial infection, and so on. Therefore, keeping water quality fresh, paying attention to strengthening disinfection, and enhancing nutrition are the main measures to prevent white eye disease.

2. The main causes of white eye disease in turtle hatchlings are: first, climate problems. When the climate is abnormal, turtle hatchlings are prone to externally contracted cold damage and then develop white eye disease. Second, the physique of the turtle hatchlings. If turtle hatchlings have a poor physique and low resistance, they are prone to white eye disease. For example, premature turtle hatchlings hatched by methods such as heating are prone to white eye disease. Third, breeding technique problems. Incorrect breeding methods also easily cause turtle hatchlings to develop white eye disease.

3. The symptoms of white eye disease in turtle hatchlings change from hidden to obvious, and from small to large. The earlier the symptoms are discovered, the more beneficial it is for treatment. Therefore, usually observe carefully. If you find that a turtle hatchling has eyes covered by secretions, or swollen eyes, or a red and swollen neck, or floating on the water, or breathing with its mouth open, you can basically determine that it is white eye disease.

Precautions for breeding golden coin turtles

1. Breeding golden coin turtles: after the impact of continuous high temperatures in the earlier period, golden coin turtles have reduced appetite, poor digestive ability, weak physique, slow growth and development, and low body weight, and breeding golden coin turtles for egg production have entered a semi-hibernation state. After the weather turns cool, pay attention to the following aspects in daily management. When feeding morning and evening every day, observe the spirit, appetite, and feces of the turtle group. Those with poor spirit, poor appetite, and abnormal feces must be further isolated for examination.

2. Strengthen nutrition. As cold and warm air alternate, for breeding golden coin turtles that have laid eggs for a relatively long time, the body is fatigued. If management is careless, it is very easy for them to stop laying eggs the next year. At this time, increase the nutritional level of the daily ration, appropriately supplement animal protein feed and multiple vitamins, and provide enough feed troughs and water troughs to ensure that every stone golden coin turtle has a suitable position and eats and drinks enough.

How to distinguish male and female golden coin turtles

1. First, you can distinguish male and female golden coin turtles by individual size. At the same age, female golden coin turtles are larger than males, and the female's carapace is fuller. In addition, you can look at the belly of the golden coin turtle. The belly of a female golden coin turtle is flat, while that of a male is slightly concave. This structure is so that during mating the male does not easily slip off the female's back.

2. Next, the female golden coin turtle's tail is thin and short, while the male golden coin turtle's tail is thick and long. They can be distinguished by the tail, but thickness is relative. Also, the sex can be judged by the position of the excretory opening. When the tail is straightened, the excretory opening of the male golden coin turtle will extend beyond the edge of the carapace when pulled straight, while that of the female will not extend beyond it.

Although stone golden coin turtles have strong disease resistance and are easy to raise, improper breeding operations of various kinds can also easily lead to a loss. Moreover, for many people, there is no practical breeding experience or professional breeding technology, so it is easy to cause golden coin turtles to become ill or even die, leading to economic losses.
