1. How long can grass turtles enter the water after they come out of their shells When grass turtles come out of their shells, they still carry umbilical cords, so breeders need to wait for their navel to shrink before putting them into the water. Generally speaking, about a week after birth, the navel of the turtle can be completely contracted, and it can be launched at this time.
However, the newly hatched turtles have higher requirements on water quality, and breeders need to change water every day to ensure clean water quality. Moreover, the amount of water should not be too large every time, so as to avoid discomfort caused by too large fluctuation of water quality.
In addition to keeping the water clean, keep the water temperature constant. It is best for breeders to use heating rods to keep the water temperature between 23-25 ℃, so that they can live normally.
2. How to raise grass turtles just out of their shells1. Water level: grass turtles just out of their shells have poor mobility, so the water level for raising them should be shallower, so as to ensure that they can breathe fresh air when they look up.
2. Feeding: The newly hatched turtle can not eat much food, and its appetite is not large. Breeders can feed a small amount of cooked rice or cooked egg yolk every day. When they are born about one month ago, they can feed some fish and shrimp.
3. Environment: Grass turtles are just born and have poor adaptability to the environment. Breeders need to change water every day to ensure the clean water quality of their lives. Also use a heating rod to keep the water temperature at about 25 ℃, and the temperature difference when changing water at ordinary times should not exceed 2 ℃.
