How to raise mountain turtles and how to breed them

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: It likes loose and fertile soil with good air permeability. When breeding, you can mix three parts of garden soil, two parts of leaf mold, and three parts of slag to make the required nutrient soil.

2. Light: When raising it at home, place it in a well-lit place and get more sun exposure. But be careful not to expose it to excessive sunlight, especially the scorching sun in summer. You must avoid it in time. Just expose it to more diffuse light and that will meet your needs.

3. Watering: It is drought-resistant, but the soil cannot be allowed to remain dry for a long time. It should be watered in time. It is best to keep the soil moist during the growing season. Pay attention to the amount of water used and avoid water accumulation. During the hot and dry summer, you can spray water frequently to increase the humidity.

4. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer. It should be fertilized once every 20 days during the growing season. You can use decomposed liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer. Sufficient nutrients are more conducive to its growth.

5. Temperature: It likes a relatively warm growing environment and is not very cold-resistant. It is best to move potted plants indoors in winter to avoid frostbite. In the hot summer, the tubers should be placed in a ventilated and cool place. The tubers are prone to rot in a high temperature and high humidity environment.

The reproduction of mountain tortoises is mostly done by sowing, usually in autumn when the climate is more suitable for them and can increase the survival and germination rate.
