2-3 cm grass turtles are not recommended to be raised in deep water. Because the grass turtle is not a pure water turtle, but a species between pure water turtle and semi-water turtle, although the big turtle can live in deeper water, the 2-3 cm grass turtle is still relatively small in size and poor in physical strength. If it is raised in deep water, it is very likely that it will choke and drown. Therefore, 2-3 cm grass turtles are best raised in shallow water, and the height of water level can be determined according to their size.
Can 2 to 3 cm grass turtles be raised in deep water and how should they be raised Can grass turtles of 1, 2 to 3 cm be raised in deep water

grass turtles of 2-3 cm not be raised in deep water, because they are not pure water turtles, but species between water turtles and semi-water turtles. Although they can live in deep water, they breathe with their lungs and need to float to the water regularly to breathe fresh air. In addition to their small size, if they live in deep water, they can't float to the surface quickly to breathe. Moreover, it is possible to choke or drown on the way upstream, so it is best not to raise 2-3 cm grass turtles in deep water. The specific water level should be determined according to their size. Generally speaking, the water level of young turtles can be a little above the belly armor, and a little carapace can also leak out.

2. How to raise 2-3 cm grass turtles

1. Water temperature: Young grass turtles are sensitive to the change of water temperature, and breeders need to keep the water temperature at 25 ℃ in order to make them survive better.

2. Water quality: Young turtles have low requirements for water quality. They can survive in weak acid, weak base or neutral water, and breeders only need to keep the water clean at ordinary times.

3. Feeding: 2-3 cm grass turtles need a lot of food to meet their nutrition for growth and development. Breeders can feed them more animal feeds, such as small fish, shrimp, red worms, lean meat, bread worms, animal viscera and so on.
