How big a water turtle can grow is mainly related to its species. For example, the largest freshwater turtle is crocodile turtle, with a nail length of 40-70 cm and a weight of 200 kg. The average length of small musk turtles is only 8-14 cm. It is worth mentioning that although turtles are generally considered to be the representative of longevity, not all turtles can live for a long time. Usually, large turtles live longer and small turtles live shorter.

1. Feeding food: First of all, we should pay attention to feeding food when raising water turtles. Although turtles are omnivores, most water turtles prefer to eat meat, and some are vegetarian. According to their different feeding habits, they need to choose appropriate feed. If the feed is not delicious, it can be replaced, or it can be fed after a period of hunger, so that it can eat.

2. Change water regularly: Water turtles are destined to be inseparable from water, so whether the water quality is good or not will also become an important factor affecting their health. Usually, the water is changed after it is excreted. Because the excrement will pollute the water quality, it is necessary to change the water. Usually, it should be completely changed, but the temperature of new water and old water must be the same. Too much difference can easily lead to its illness.

3. Daily back drying: The water turtle can't be soaked in water all the time, so it needs to prepare a balcony. The function of the balcony is to let it bask in the sun. Usually, it takes about half an hour to bask in the sun every day, but don't choose when the light is strongest, so as to avoid dehydration. Sun-drying is helpful to heat up, sterilize and disinfect, and assist in calcium absorption.
