Method for incubating mauremys mutica eggs

Abstract

The invention provides a method for incubating mauremys mutica eggs and relates to the technical field of turtle cultivation. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps that a wooden box specially manufactured is adopted as an incubator, the size is 60*30*10 cm, water holes are drilled in the bottom of the incubator or around the incubator, a layer of clean sandy soil is placed on the bottom of the incubator, the thickness is 5 cm, the turtle eggs are placed on the soil, the distance between every two turtle eggs is 1 cm, then the eggs are covered with a layer of sandy soil with the thickness of 2 cm, and then covered with a piece of clean wet cloth, after being placed well, the turtle eggs can not be moved at will, the incubating temperature is controlled to range from 28 DEG C to 35 DEG C, the water content of the sandy soil is 5-10%, the sandy soil is held in hands to form balls, and gets loose after being released, small turtles are incubated out after 45-55 days, 5% of saline solution is used for disinfecting the small turtles coming out of shells, and the small turtles can be fed on food such as boiled egg yolk, daphnia, shrimps and tubifex hattai. The setting conditions are processed reasonably, the wooden box is utilized as the incubator, large-scale processing is carried out, and the incubating rate can be increased easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of turtle breeding, in particular to a method for hatching eggs of yellow-throated aquatic turtles. Background technique [0002] Yellow-throated aquatic turtle is its scientific name, and it is commonly known as stone turtle in the south. The head of the yellow-throated water turtle is light yellow or light green, and there is a white line behind the eyes. The color of the carapace varies from north to south, from light to dark according to the distribution of the region. Generally, the color of the northern species of yellow-throated water turtle is relatively light. It is yellow or reddish brown, and the southern species is darker or even black. Yellow-throated turtles are omnivorous turtles, and they can choose a wide range of food, such as small fish, loach, river shrimp, animal liver, and aquatic turtle food are all acceptable. In a captive breeding environment, the hatching conditions for yellow-thr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the artificial breeding environment, the conditions for hatching eggs of yellow-throated aquatic turtles are generally relatively simple, and they are directly buried in sandy soil. The temperature control is unreasonable, and the hatching rate is low, which is not conducive to large-scale breeding.
