How to train a turtle to ring a bell every time before feeding

How to train the tortoise, the tortoise how to properly train, some the tortoise is very listen to master, but the turtle training also has a certain methods, the wild turtle training methods have certain difficulty, but the wild turtle domesticated up also is to have the method, and pay attention to the training of skills, how to tame the tortoise, the following is a brief introduction.

The training method of grass turtle

Grass turtles can be trained to interact with people. The normal training methods are as follows:

1. The owner trains the turtle before eating. In the case of small grass turtle hunger, every time touch tease it, then feed it food, over time, someone touch tease it again, it is not afraid of people, think to give it food. Tortoises usually get used to the environment and interact with their owners after 2-3 months.

2, the master every time after feeding the turtle on the table or hand, the next time to catch him will know that it is time to eat.

3, the host every time before feeding food with a small bell shake out the sound, and so see it to see the small bell after feeding it, half a year later the grass turtle will hear the bell actively swim over, will stretch its neck to climb up, especially lovely.

4, the owner often accompany the small grass turtle beside, can also be taken out in the hand and talk to it, let it adapt to the existence of the owner. Then when it is hungry the master hand feed it to eat, for a long time adhere to see the master beckoning will swim over.

Methods of domestication of wild turtles

Wild turtles like to live in groups, afraid of fright. If their living environment is changed suddenly, they often refuse to eat. Therefore, the newly purchased wild turtle must be artificially "domesticated" to change its wildness and adapt it to the new environment. Generally, the "domestication" method is as follows:

(1) After the turtle into the pool, do not change the feeding pool often, so as not to adapt to the turtle. The LAYOUT OF THE container should imitate the natural environment as far as possible, if the large area of the cylinder should be built water and land, "land" planted some weeds, small area of the cylinder can be put in the water some pebbles and water grass, easy to climb the turtle.

(2) For the first two weeks, keep the turtle in the dark. Because the turtle is the most easily frightened, especially to vibration, touch the most sensitive. Therefore, the breeder should touch the turtle frequently, touch its body, and clean its body with a soft brush, so that it can gradually adapt to human contact and reduce its "fear" sense.

Talk about turtle body language

Tortoises may not speak, but they do speak to us in another language, and maybe that's one of the reasons I like tortoises: silence. That's body language. Correctly reading a turtle's body language is important for tortoise enthusiasts as it can tell you what state and mood the turtle is in and whether the environment is favorable for it.

From my observation. I've found one turtle crawling around in a holding container and trying to get out, suggesting several reasons, either it's a new turtle, fear of the environment. Either the water is too dirty, it really can't stand it, or the temperature is too high, or too bright, in short, this is not a good phenomenon, we have to judge according to the current situation. If left unattended, the turtle may die. I have a mother yellow forehead is very clean. Usually they don't move. But as long as it pee, even a little, it will desperately change the place, if it is stool, it will never touch it.
