The frequency of changing water for the turtle is different in different seasons. The higher the temperature, the stronger its appetite. Therefore, the more food it feeds, the higher the frequency of changing water. Usually, water needs to be changed every day in summer and once every three or five days in winter. Usually the water is changed after the tortoise has defecated, which can prevent the deterioration of water quality and help to maintain its health.
1. Trapped in advance: Changing water for the turtle is the same as changing water for the fish. Because tap water is used, it is necessary to trap in water. This is because the water contains residual chlorine, which is harmful to the health of small turtles, so it needs to be trapped in the water to let the chlorine volatilize. Put the tap water in the sunny place and dry it for a few days.
2. The amount of water to be changed: Generally, the water to be changed for small turtles is completely changed, because the water used for raising turtles is not much. If only part of the water is changed, the water quality cannot be maintained, so it is necessary to change it completely. If it is a deep water turtle, the water can not be changed completely, because there is too much water, you can change about half.
< P > 3. Precautions: Before changing the water, it is necessary to take a thermometry to ensure that the temperature of the new water is consistent with that of the old Water. If the temperature difference is too large, it is easy to catch a cold after changing the water, and it may even develop into pneumonia. This is a disease with a high fatality rate.
