Chinese grass turtle has no high requirement for water, so long as it is clean and clear water, they can survive normally. The water suitable for their life is tap water, river water, well water, lake water and so on.
1. Tap water: Tap water is common and commonly used. Because this kind of water is not only clear, but also easy to obtain, many breeders will choose tap water. However, tap water contains more chlorine, so breeders need to be exposed to the sun for 2-3 days before using it.
2. Rivers and lakes: There are also rivers and lakes. Grass turtles live in rivers and lakes when they are in the wild. Using these two kinds of water to raise them will not make them uncomfortable. However, rivers and lakes are easily polluted, and breeders need to filter out impurities in the water before using them.
3. Well water: The other is well water. Although well water is not easy to be polluted and has no chemicals, its temperature is relatively low. It is best for breeders to adjust the temperature between old water and old water before use.
2. How high is the water level of Chinese grass turtlesThe water level of Chinese grass turtles can be determined according to their body shape. Normally, the water level of young grass turtles needs to be controlled below the carapace so that they can breathe normally. When they reach adulthood, the water level can be controlled at twice the height of their carapace. Because their physical strength and swimming ability will be enhanced in adulthood, the height of water level can be relatively improved.
