to change the water when raising a turtle? Generally, the water is changed every three days when raising a turtle. If it is summer, the temperature is relatively high and the water quality is easy to decay, which requires changing water every day. If it is winter and shallow water hibernation, you can change the water once a week. Usually the home turtle is a terrapin, this kind of turtle needs to soak in water for a long time, do not put it in a dry place, otherwise it will dehydrate and die, the water level needs to be over the turtle's back, so that it can breathe as soon as it looks up.
should we pay attention to when changing water? 1. Trapped water in advance: Tap water is usually used to change water for turtles. This kind of water is not polluted, but after disinfection by the waterworks, there will be a small amount of chlorine, which may be harmful to the health of turtles. Therefore, it is necessary to trap water in advance. Put the water in a sunny place to dry, so that the chlorine inside can volatilize.
2. Control the water temperature: As a poikilothermic animal, the tortoise is not very adaptable to temperature changes, so the fluctuation of water temperature can easily lead to its illness. Therefore, attention should be paid to the control of water temperature. It is better to keep the new water consistent with the old water, so that the tortoise can better adapt and will not produce adverse reactions.
3. Pay attention to cleaning: Because the turtle eats in the water and excretes in the water, it is inevitable that there will be some food residues and its feces in the water. When changing the water for it, these things need to be cleaned up, so that the water quality can be better maintained to prevent bacterial breeding, which will have a negative impact on the health of the fish.
