for grass turtles to be in the water all the time. It is a problem for grass turtles to be in the water all the time, because they are not terrapins, and their natural swimming ability is poor. If they live in deep water for a long time, they are prone to suffocation or death. Although living in shallow water does not endanger their lives, long-term exposure to shallow water can cause bacterial infections or other diseases, so it is better for breeders not to keep grass turtles in water for a long time. At ordinary times, they can be exposed to the sun, which can help them sterilize and disinfect, improve their metabolism, and promote their synthesis of vitamin D3, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium.
is the water level of the grass turtle? The water level of the grass turtle depends on their size. If it is a young grass turtle, the water level needs to be controlled below the plastron. Because young grass turtles breathe at a high rate and are physically weak, if the water level is too high, it will make it difficult for them to breathe. If it is an adult grass turtle, the water level can be controlled above the carapace. Because the adult grass turtle will become larger and stronger, and the water level will be higher, they will not be affected too much. Moreover, if the water level is higher, the deterioration of water quality will be slower, and their living environment will be better.
