1. How old can musk turtles be raised in deep water Musk turtles are deep water turtles, and adult musk turtles can be raised in deep water. Of course, musk turtles that are still in the young turtle stage cannot be cultured in deep water. Besides, the water temperature should be strictly controlled. To breed this turtle, we should also pay attention to the influence of water level, which can be controlled at about 20-30 cm. Musk turtles are not big in size, and the length of adult musk turtles is about 7.6-11.4 cm. One species of musk turtles is relatively large, and its length can reach about 8-13.5 cm. In addition to the differences in species, female musk turtles are larger than male musk turtles.
2. What water do musk turtles use to raiseWild musk turtles mainly live in mud, so they are not picky about water quality. However, due to the limited size of the turtle tank that can be provided, the feeding environment is too small, and the water quality changes very quickly, it is easy to cause serious stimulation and injury to this turtle. Therefore, a suitable filtration system should be installed in the tank and cleaned regularly.
When feeding, it is recommended to change water 2-3 times a week, and the amount of water changed is about one third or one quarter. A little iodine-free fine salt can be added to the new water. Water can be chosen from lakes, rivers, streams and so on. If you choose tap water, be sure to expose the water to the sun for three days and let it stand, otherwise it may lead to rotten skin or rotten claws of musk turtle. After feeding, food residues and excrement should be disposed of in time to prevent water quality from being polluted.
