The tortoise usually changes the water once every three days. However, in summer, it is necessary to shorten the cycle of water change, because the temperature is higher, feeding is more, and its excretion is very large, so the water body is more likely to deteriorate and needs to be changed once a day. Change at least half of the water each time, if the turtle tank is relatively small, it can also be replaced completely, if only part of the water is changed, the water quality is still difficult to maintain, and it will be harmful to its health.
change the water for the tortoise? 1. Be trapped in the water in advance: You need to be trapped in the water in advance before changing the water for the tortoise. Because it usually uses tap water to change water, the water contains a small amount of chlorine, which is harmful to its health, so it needs to be trapped in water to volatilize chlorine, so that the health of the turtle can be guaranteed.
2. Pay attention to the water temperature: As the tortoise is a poikilothermic animal, it is better to keep the same temperature before and after changing the water. If the temperature difference is too large, it will also lead to illness. You can measure the temperature of the old water before changing the water, and then mix the new water according to this temperature, the difference between the two is not more than 1 ℃.
3. Clean the turtle jar: In order to ensure that the water quality can be maintained, it is necessary to clean the turtle jar when changing the water. Because the tortoise lives in the water, there will be unfinished food in it, as well as its feces, if not cleaned up, the water will soon be polluted, so it needs to be discharged.
