Does ? The tortoise does not need oxygen. This animal is different from fish, although some species live in the water, but do not have the ability to breathe from underwater, so the level of dissolved oxygen in the water has no effect on its breathing, it still needs to go to the surface to absorb oxygen. In addition, its ability to hold its breath is not strong, so the water level should not be too deep, not over the turtle's back, so that it can breathe as soon as it looks up.
is needed to raise a turtle? 1. Raising a tank: Raising a turtle first needs a raising tank, that is, a container for it at ordinary times. Feeding tanks are mostly square, the material can be glass or plastic, but opaque is better, transparent is easy to cause it to hit the head. The jar should be paved with sand, preferably on a slope, and a proper amount of water should be added to facilitate its soaking in it.
2. Heating rod: Heating rod has little effect on tortoises, but it is better than nothing. With the heating rod, the temperature can be better controlled to avoid the disease of turtles caused by temperature changes. At the same time, if you don't want the tortoise to hibernate, the heating rod is also useful to keep the temperature high so that it can grow normally.
3. Filter: The turtle jar is rarely equipped with a filter, because the number of feeders is generally small, and the water consumption is relatively small, so the water is completely replaced at ordinary times, and the significance of filtration is very small. But if there are a lot of turtles and the tank is very large, filtration is very important to maintain the water quality better.
