误区1:过度喂食,导致龟肥胖
很多人担心龟不吃饱,但实际上过量喂食会导致体型不佳和寿命短。正确的方法是根据龟的大小和年龄定时定量喂食。
误区2:以肉为主食,不利于健康
肉类脂肪含量高,对于不运动的龟能够引起肥胖。建议以鱼虾为主,因为它们营养全面且不会造成体型问题。
误区3:有过滤但不换水,容易污染
即使使用强大的过滤器,如德彩EX90,也需要定期更换水,以防止水质恶化。此外,应避免将不同动物混养,以减少排泄物对水质的影响。
误区4:暴晒太阳,可能伤害到龟
长时间暴晒或缺乏足够照明会损害龟的健康。正确做法是提供适当的UVB灯照明,并在天气晴朗时给予有限制时间间隔进行自然曝晒。
误区5:替龟刷背干净漂亮,有风险
清洁过程中可能伤害到角质层,而自然环境中的流动水可以帮助保持壳表面的光滑状态。因此,最好等待其长大后再轻柔地使用软毛牙刷进行清洁。
误区6:抓住尾巴易伤到龙骨结构
错误地抓住尾巴容易受伤,因此应该从后背按压并避开腿部来安全地抓取.
Misconception 7: Deep water tanks without a landing platform
Deep water tanks can increase the activity of turtles, but they must have a landing platform to avoid drowning.
Misconception 8: Too many decorations in the tank
Having too many decorations can be confusing for young turtles. A simple tank with a flat stone and one or two logs is recommended.
Misconception 9: Overuse of medication on sick turtles
Turtles require much less medicine than humans, and using too much can harm them. It's important to research treatment options online before attempting any medical intervention.
