It is not necessary to raise a tortoise to release too much water, and it is enough to reach the height of the tortoise's back, so that it can breathe as soon as it stretches out its head. If you raise a deep-water turtle, don't put it in too deep water at first, but raise it in shallow water first, and then slowly raise the water level so that it can gradually adapt. In addition, it needs to be given a landing site, so as not to swim too long and lead to fatigue and drowning.
1. Water quality: The water used for raising turtles is generally tap water. After being processed and disinfected by the waterworks, it is absolutely safe and reliable. However, it contains residual chlorine, which will pose a certain threat to the health of turtles. It is usually necessary to dry the water for a period of time before it can be used to allow the chlorine to volatilize. In addition to the method of drying to remove chlorine, you can also aerate into the water, can play the same effect.
2. Water temperature: The tortoise is a poikilothermic animal, so it has certain requirements on the temperature. It is usually necessary to control the water temperature above 20 ℃. If the temperature is too low, it will affect its appetite and make it enter a state of hibernation, or even freeze to death directly. Usually keep the water temperature as constant as possible, temperature changes will also lead to its cold, especially when changing water, before and after the water temperature should be consistent.
3. Water depth: The water level can not be too deep for raising turtles, especially during the period of young turtles, the water level can be gradually raised. At the same time, we need to prepare a drying table, even if it is a terrapin, there must be a place to go ashore to dry the back.
