in cold water? Musk turtles can be raised in cold water. The temperature in their place of origin is not very high, so their cold resistance is relatively strong. Musk turtles can be raised directly in cold water at home. But in early spring or late autumn, breeders still need to use heating rods to adjust the water temperature, because the low temperature in early spring and late autumn will affect their activity and appetite.
If the water temperature is below 15 C, they will stop eating. Therefore, for their better growth and development, breeders should keep the water temperature between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius. After they enter hibernation, they also need to keep the water temperature above 5 degrees Celsius.
the lowest water temperature of musk turtles? Musk turtles are cold-water turtles with strong cold resistance. They can survive in water above 0 ℃. Although cold water will affect their growth and development, it will not endanger their lives. Because they will go into hibernation when the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, they will not freeze to death. But when they hibernate, they may freeze to death if the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius. Because their resistance is weak when they hibernate, they will gradually die if the water temperature is below 0 C. Breeders can keep the water temperature at 5 C when they hibernate, so that they can hibernate normally without freezing to death.
