be put in the water of pig-nosed turtles? Salt can be put in the water of pig-nosed turtles, because salt can effectively kill bacteria and harmful substances in the water. But the amount of salt can not be too much, first of all, because pig-nosed turtles are more sensitive to salt, too much will make their skin uncomfortable. Secondly, if they put too much salt, their bodies are prone to edema. Finally, the pig-nosed turtle is a freshwater turtle, which lives in areas with low salt concentration. If there is no big problem at ordinary times, it can not put salt. If they have symptoms of disease or are already sick and need to be treated with salt, it is better to control the concentration of salt not to exceed 5%. If you want to sterilize and disinfect at ordinary times, the concentration of salt should not exceed 1%.
. Pig-nosed turtles like the water temperature between 25-31 degrees Celsius, because this water temperature is the most suitable temperature for their growth and development, and their activity and appetite are the highest in this temperature range. If the water temperature is too low, they will have less food intake, less activity, slow growth and so on. If the temperature is too high, although their appetite will increase, the high temperature will make them uncomfortable, their resistance will decrease, and they will easily get sick. Therefore, it is better for breeders to install heating rods to keep the water temperature stable when breeding pig-nosed turtles.
