Does The tortoise needs water. Most domestic turtles are terrapins, which need to be immersed in water for a long time to survive. As long as a few semi-terrapins can live on land, they still need to provide a certain amount of water to avoid dehydration and death. And the terrapin also has a characteristic, that is, it needs the buoyancy of water to feed, if it is placed on land, it is unable to eat, it can only be fed in the water.
of the tortoise for water? 1. Water temperature: The first thing to pay attention to when raising a tortoise is the water temperature. The temperature affects its vitality and appetite. When the temperature is high, it often likes to move and can eat. When the temperature is low, it reduces food intake and does not like to move. At ordinary times, it is better to keep the water temperature above 20 degrees Celsius, and during hibernation, it should be maintained at about 10 degrees Celsius.
2. Water quality: Whether the water quality is good or not also has a great impact on the health of the tortoise. If the water quality is poor, the tortoise can easily get sick, such as white eye disease, rotten skin disease and so on. Therefore, in order to maintain the water quality, after feeding or excreting it, it is necessary to change the water and clean up the food residues in the water.
3. Water level: Usually, the water level should not be too high for raising turtles. Even deep water turtles should be raised in shallow water, and then the water level should be raised. The water level can reach the tortoise's limbs, and the highest level can reach the tortoise's back, so that the tortoise can breathe as soon as it looks up, without worrying that it will drown.
