water temperature for grass turtles? Grass turtles can live in water at 18-32 degrees Celsius. The most suitable water temperature for grass turtles is 22-28 ℃. At this temperature, grass turtles are vigorous, lively and active, and have a strong appetite. They can be fed with some food with high nutritional value to grow at one time.
They are poikilothermic animals, and their body functions are closely related to temperature. If the water temperature is too low, the tortoise will not feel well and may even be frostbitten. The decrease in water temperature can also affect their appetite. Therefore, the water temperature in the tank must be well controlled when feeding. Appropriate water temperature is conducive to increasing the appetite of grass turtles and promoting their growth and development.
In winter, a heating rod should be added to the tank of the grass turtle. They are poikilothermic animals, and their body temperature changes with the change of temperature. If the water temperature drops suddenly, it will cause them to consume a lot of energy in their bodies to maintain their normal life. Therefore, we must pay attention to ensure that the water temperature is constant.
They also have high requirements for water quality, and they should keep the water clean when they are raised. The water level in the breeding tank also changes with the change of temperature in four seasons. In spring, the temperature is relatively low, and the water level in the jar should be shallow. In summer, when the temperature is relatively high, the water level for breeding grass turtles will be deeper, while in autumn, the temperature will drop, and the water level will become shallower. Winter is colder, they will go into hibernation, and the water level should be lower, not too high.
