every few days. When raising snapping turtles, clean water quality is very important. If the water quality is too poor, it will cause them to get sick. How to keep the water clean involves a problem of changing water. Change the water for the snapping turtle every few days, which depends on the size of the turtle tank, whether there is a filtration system in the turtle tank, and whether the feeding density is large. In general
, it only takes 3-4 days to change the water for the snapping turtle. If the tank is relatively large, it is also possible to change the water for them once a week. The nutrients in the larger tanks are sufficient, and the metabolic waste is diluted. If there is a filtration system in the tank, it is also possible to change the water once every two weeks. The filtration system will physically, chemically and biologically filter the water in the tank to ensure that the water is clean. But if the feeding density is too high, the water quality will easily deteriorate, so it will take 1-2 days to change the water for them.
for snapping turtles When changing water for snapping turtles, first take them out and put them in a deep container to prevent them from climbing out and running around. Then take out one third of the water in the container. If you take too much, it will affect the water quality and cause damage to them. Then the tap water which is dechlorinated and adjusted and has little difference with the original water quality is poured in, and finally the crocodile turtle is put back into the feeding tank.
