Wild turtles< /p>
Wild turtles refer to turtles that grow up in natural conditions in the wilderness. Wild turtles often have better body quality, strong disease resistance, clear growth texture, and better health. Wild turtles are loved by people because of their special body shape and appearance. Many people also want to keep a wild turtle at home. However, there are fewer and fewer wild turtles now, and it is not recommended to raise them. Therefore, some imitation wild turtles are also appearing on the market. However, some people also want to keep wild turtles at home. There are no so-called cold-water turtle commercial turtles raised artificially with hormones, so we still have to distinguish between them when choosing.
The imitation wild turtle is also called the outer pond turtle. Originally, this kind of turtle is Between wild turtles and man-made turtles, it is actually a good choice for breeders. It has the robustness of wild turtles and is as easy to raise as artificial turtles. The growth rate of outer pond turtles is moderate, and because they are raised in outer ponds, they can basically hibernate. Turtle hatchlings in the outer pond are often not kept outside when they are hatchlings. They are only placed in the outer pond when they reach a certain stage. Therefore, it is relatively thick-skinned. It is recommended that you consider raising pond turtles as your own pet turtles.

Old wounds on the body, fallen nails, broken tails, etc. These are also the marks left by kung fu and are unavoidable things. Cold water turtles are very different. Their appearance is pale, their carapace feels lacking in texture, and their skin is also whitish. Due to excessive food and high temperature raising, there is no obvious growth and development period. They grow very, very fast, their growth lines are very wide, and their bodies are relatively large. , and even some individuals weighing about are only 1 or 2 years old.
1. The origin of cold water turtle
In recent years, with the promotion and popularization of scientific knowledge of turtle breeding, farmers have gradually realized that imitating wild turtles must be Will become a substitute for wild turtles aloneAs an optimal species that can truly develop as seeds and bring profound and safe breeding effects to farmers, the number of people purchasing imitation wild turtles for breeding is gradually increasing. Imitation of wild turtles has had a great impact on commercial turtles as seeds. The number of people using commercial turtles as seeds has gradually shrunk, and their prices are gradually returning from the price of breeding turtles to the price of commercial turtles for edible and medicinal purposes. Farms and turtle dealers who have long regarded commercial turtles as breeding and selling turtles have quickly introduced so-called cold-water turtles in order to cope with these impacts, describing commercial turtles as cold-water turtles, or even saying that cold-water turtles are imitation wild turtles. Turtles are the first choice for breeding, and the last resort is to protect the cost of selling commercial turtles as seeds.
2. How to identify whether cold water turtles are commercial turtles < /strong>
There is no doubt that cold-water turtles are purely commercial turtles. However, people who breed and sell commercial turtles as breeding turtles, in order to sell the commercial turtles as cold-water turtles at a better price, will not admit that the cold-water turtles are commercial turtles, and even say that the cold-water turtles are artificial artificial turtles. Turtle or wild turtle. Faced with this situation, buyers must not be gullible and must carefully analyze and distinguish.
(1) Look at the situation. Just look at the place where the seller raises turtles from the website or on the spot. There are heating places and heating equipment such as greenhouses and heated pools. The turtles they sell must be commercial turtles that are heated and raised.
(2) Weight of the vessel. Just look at how much weight the turtle loses each year as it grows (turtle weight ÷ turtle annual age). If the annual weight loss exceeds 62, it must be a commercial turtle that is about to grow.
(3) Check the price. Just look at the pricing unit for selling turtles. If the price is based on weight, it must be a commercial turtle (meat turtle).
(4) Ask about food. Just ask the seller how many times the turtle is fed. If the turtle is fed more than once a day, the turtle it sells must be a commercial turtle that feeds more and grows faster.
(5) Ask about winter. Just ask the seller where the hatchlings spent the first winter after hatching. If the hatchlings are heated for the winter, the turtle they sell must be a heated commercial turtle.
(6) Ask for tips. Imitation of wild turtles must be doneOnly by using systematic, scientific, professional and typical artificial artificial breeding technology, and through strict professional and typical cultivation, can we cultivate real artificial artificial turtles with high quality. It is impossible to cultivate a true imitation wild turtle. Therefore, before buying a turtle, you should first ask the seller about the breeding techniques of cold-water turtles. If you cannot answer the question or the technique answered is not a scientific and professional artificial artificial technology, then the turtles sold are definitely not artificial artificial turtles, but only commercial turtles. .
