The doughnut turtle is a kind of turtle that can be raised in captivity. They have a strange appearance, and when they grow up, their shell pattern looks like doughnuts, so they get their name. It is a kind of terrapin, which usually stays in the water for a long time. However, from the depth of their waters, they are not a deep water turtle. Wild donut turtles are found in relatively shallow waters because they often come ashore to bask in the sun.
If they are raised artificially, they should not use too deep water. Especially when the doughnut turtle is still relatively small, in order to avoid drowning, the water level can not be too high, you can directly use shallow water to raise. In addition, considering their relatively high requirements for sunshine, it is better to put a drying table in the container for them, so that they can bask in the sun more conveniently.
As mentioned above, the doughnut turtle is not a kind of terrapin, so it can not be raised in too deep water, and special attention should be paid to controlling the water level in the process of breeding. Specifically, when the doughnut turtle is in the juvenile stage, the water level can be about 5 centimeters. As they grow, the water level can be adjusted accordingly. After they reach adulthood, they can let the water level just above their dorsal shell, or about twice the height of their dorsal shell.
In addition, considering that they can not live in water all the time, they need to set up a place in the container as land, about one third of it.
