What is the difference between flower-grass turtles and grass turtles? Teaching you to identify them correctly

There are many species of tortoises. Currently, the turtles sold on the market vary in price and contain inflated pricing. Today, the editor will introduce to you the difference between flower-grass turtles and grass turtles. Let's take a look together!

1. The difference between flower-grass turtles and grass turtles

The flower-grass turtle is an individual produced by crossbreeding the Chinese flower turtle (Mauremys sinensis) and the Chinese grass turtle (Mauremys reevesii), and belongs to the hybrid turtles. The grass turtle is a relatively typical omnivorous animal, not a hybrid turtle.

2. Common diseases of tortoises

1. White eye disease:

The turtle's eyes become inflamed, gradually turning grayish-white and swollen. The cornea and surrounding areas fester due to inflammation, and the outside of the eyeball is covered by a layer of white secretion, making the turtle unable to eat, and even blind, gradually leading to death. The cause is an eye injury combined with poor water quality, leading to infection.

The treatment method is: apply chlortetracycline eye ointment to the affected area, 2 times a day; chloramphenicol eye drops can also be used. It is best to let it bask in the sun for 2 hours every day (not direct strong sun exposure), which helps reduce inflammation. The breeding box must be disinfected.

2. Skin rot disease:

Any part of the turtle's skin develops festering, and the affected area becomes swollen. If not treated immediately, it will lead to death in the later stages. Treatment method: place the sick turtle in water with a small amount of oxytetracycline, not too much water, soak for half an hour, then keep it dry (not absolutely dry), or apply chlortetracycline eye ointment.
