grass turtles don't need to change all the water. Although they are not particularly sensitive to environmental fluctuations, changing a lot of water will also cause their discomfort, so breeders can change one third or one quarter of the water every time.
When changing water for grass turtles, the frequency does not need to be too high. When the temperature is low, the breeder had better choose to change it once a week. If the temperature is high, you can choose to change it every 3-4 days. Usually, you can clean up the feces and food residues in the water after feeding, which can slow down the deterioration of water quality.
When changing water, grass turtles should pay attention to the temperature difference between new water and old water not exceeding 5 ℃. If the temperature difference is large, grass turtles may also suffer from discomfort.
2. What kind of water is used to raise grass turtlesTap water is generally used for grass turtles, but before use, breeders need to expose tap water to the sun for 2-3 days. Because tap water contains a large amount of chlorine, it can be removed from water after sunlight exposure.
Breeders can also choose to use river water, because grass turtles are all in rivers when they are in their place of origin, and using river water can better restore the wild environment. However, before use, it is necessary to filter the impurities in the water and ensure that the river water is not polluted. However, river water is not easy to obtain, so breeders can choose according to their actual situation.
