It is the nature of turtles to be afraid of light, especially strong light, so in summer, we must pay attention to shade to avoid it being exposed to the sun. Usually you can keep it in a cool place, or sprinkle water properly to cool down, but do not sprinkle water on the turtle's body. You can also put a shelter in the tank so that it can hide in it without being exposed to the sun.
Summer is the time when the tortoise eats the most, so it is necessary to feed it enough food. Generally, it is necessary to feed it once every 1-2 days. The amount of food fed each time is about 5-10% of its body weight. Feeding too much will also cause it to excrete a lot, and will increase the burden of digestion. After feeding, it is necessary to clean up the food residue in time.
Because the temperature is relatively high in summer, the water quality deteriorates rapidly, and frequent water change is needed to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the water quality. Usually before feeding and after feeding a few hours to change, when changing water must control the water temperature, so as not to affect the health of turtles temperature changes.
The tortoise also needs to sun its back in summer, but because the temperature is too high at noon and the light is particularly strong, sunning its back can easily lead to dehydration, so it usually needs to be sunned in the morning. It should be noted that water sources should be provided around it, so that if it feels hot, it will automatically drill into the water, so as not to be short of water.
