It is generally more than 20 cm to raise turtles in deep water. There are many kinds of turtles. Some turtles like deep water environment, such as pig-nosed turtles and crocodile turtles. They have strong swimming ability and can hold their breath underwater for a long time. These turtles have certain requirements for water quality. However, because they use more water, the water quality is well maintained and there is no need to change water too frequently. In addition, deep-water turtles usually don't need to bask in the sun, so they don't need to bask in the platform.
2. How to raise deep-water turtles1. Feeding: Freshwater turtles are omnivorous animals, so we must pay attention to matching when feeding, so as to have balanced nutrition and ensure their healthy growth. The first is animal feed, mainly fish, shrimp and meat, and lean meat is generally used for meat. Followed by plant feed, such as vegetables and fruits. In addition, we should pay attention to supplementing calcium.
2, changing water: It is very important to change water for raising freshwater turtles, because they spend most of their time soaking in water, and they are easy to get sick if the water is not good. Usually, after each excretion, all the water needs to be replaced, and the container needs to be cleaned at the same time, and then fresh water is injected. It should be noted that the temperature before and after changing water should be consistent.
3. Sun-drying: Although freshwater turtles spend most of their time in the water, they need to go ashore occasionally to sun their backs, so it is best to prepare a drying platform for them and let them sun for half an hour every day. Sun-drying can not only raise the temperature and promote metabolism, but also sterilize and disinfect, which is beneficial to calcium absorption.
