1. Why does the turtle lie prone on the stone all the time The turtle lies prone on the stone, indicating that the water quality is not very good and needs to be changed immediately. Changing water for turtles is different from changing water for fish. Changing water for fish can't be done too much or too frequently, because fish rely heavily on water, and once the water environment changes, it will be greatly stimulated. And changing water for turtles must be completely changed, because its excrement will pollute the water quality and cause the water to stink, so it is not necessary to keep this water.
2. What are the benefits of basking in the back of tortoise1. Raising the temperature: The first advantage of basking in the back is to raise the temperature. As a temperature-changing animal, the activity of tortoise is often closely related to the temperature. If the temperature is relatively low, the tortoise is not very active. On the contrary, after the temperature rises, its metabolism will accelerate, and it will love activities more.
2. Eliminate bacteria: Because sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, it still has a good killing effect on some bacteria, especially for turtles soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to have various fungi on their backs, which can be completely eliminated by basking in the sun, thus preventing various diseases.
3. Absorption of calcium: It can also promote the absorption of calcium by basking in the back. Although basking in the sun can not supplement calcium, it can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is of great help to the absorption of calcium, help its bone growth, and prevent soft nail disease and other diseases.
