1. Do you need heating rods to raise crocodiles It is best to install heating rods to raise crocodiles, because the water temperature of wild crocodiles is on the high side, which is above 20 ℃ under normal circumstances. The most suitable temperature for their growth is between 25-30 ℃. If the water temperature is lower than 25 ℃, their activity and appetite will obviously decrease. If the water temperature is lower than 20 ℃, they will stop eating and moving.
In most areas of China, the temperature cannot be stabilized at around 25 ℃ all the time, so it is best for breeders to install a heating rod for them in autumn and winter. Especially in winter, breeders should pay attention to the temperature difference between water and air, and try not to exceed 5 ℃, otherwise it is difficult for them to survive.
2. What else do you need to raise crocodiles1. Filter: Crocodiles pollute water quality seriously, and they need a large space and water body to live normally. Breeders need to prepare a filter for them, which can slow down the deterioration of water quality and reduce the frequency of water change.
2. Box lid: Crocodiles have strong jumping ability. They can jump three times as long as themselves by using their tails. Breeders need to cover them to prevent them from jumping out.
3, UVB lamp: If they live in an environment where there is not enough sunshine, breeders need to prepare a UVB lamp for them, which can help them absorb vitamin D3. If the container is sunny, there is no need to install UVB lights.
