Razor tortoise seedlings be raised in too deep water. Although they are deep water tortoises, their physical strength and swimming ability are not very strong when they are young. If they are raised in deep water, they are prone to choking or drowning, so it is best to raise them in shallow water first. With the increase of time, their body size will also grow, and the water level of feeding can be gradually raised. In the early stage of feeding, the water level can be consistent with the height of the carapace. In the process of feeding, the depth can be increased by 5 cm a week, which can be gradual, so that they can better adapt to the life in deep water and benefit the development of their carapace.
2. What water should be used to raise the razor tortoise seedlingsThe razor tortoise seedlings do not have too high requirements on the pH value of water, so long as they are not strong acid or strong alkali, they can live normally. Breeders can choose to use tap water at home to raise them, but when using tap water, it is best to take it out and dry it for a few days, so as to remove chlorine and other harmful substances from the water and avoid affecting their health.
Although razor turtles do not have too high requirements on the pH value of water, they like to live in clean and refreshing water. Breeders should change water 2-3 times a week to ensure clean water quality. If conditions permit, a filter can be installed to slow down the deterioration of water quality.
