1. Does it affect grass turtles to change water frequently? Changing water frequently has an impact on their health. Because frequent water change may lead to unstable water quality, it is easy to stimulate turtles to suffer from skin rot or armor rot. Moreover, frequent water change will affect the formation of nitrifying bacteria, and the water for raising grass turtles cannot form a complete water environment. In addition, frequent water change can easily lead to colds, pneumonia and other problems in grass turtles in winter. Changing water for grass turtles can be done according to the change of temperature. If the temperature is high, the growth rate of harmful substances in the water is also relatively fast. It is best for breeders to change the water once every 3-4 days. If the temperature is low, you can choose to change the water once a week.
2. How to change water for grass turtles1. Prepare new water: To change water for grass turtles, first prepare a good new water for them. If tap water is used, it is necessary to expose tap water to the sun for 2-3 days, remove chlorine from the water, and then give it to grass turtles.
2. Adjust temperature: Although grass turtles are insensitive to environmental changes, too large temperature difference will also affect their growth and development. Breeders should also adjust the temperature of new water to the same as that of old water to avoid irritation.
3. Clean the container: Before changing water, the breeder needs to clean up the garbage in the container, such as the leftover food residue and excrement. After cleaning up the garbage in the container, pump out some water, and finally replace it with new water.
