The grass turtle can be raised in the family as a pet turtle. When they are raised, they need water. In addition to water quality, water exchange and other issues, special attention should be paid to the problem of water level.
The grass turtle is not a deep water turtle, so it cannot live in very deep water. Moreover, the tortoise needs to float to the top of the water to complete the process of ventilation. If the water is too deep, the tortoise will consume more energy in the process of swimming to the top of the water. In addition, we should pay attention to the water is not too shallow, and can not let their carapace exposed to dry air for a long time. In short, reasonable adjustment of water depth is an important task in the process of aquaculture, neither too shallow water nor too deep water.
When raising grass turtles, water depth is a factor that needs to be adjusted. The water depth can be adjusted according to the height of the tortoise shell, so that the water level is similar to the height of the tortoise shell, which is more appropriate. With the growth of grass turtles, the water depth needs to be adjusted accordingly. When the tortoise is in the juvenile stage, it should be noted that the water must not be too deep, otherwise they are easy to drown, at this time, it can also directly provide a shallow water environment, and put some cushions in the container to improve the humidity of the environment. After the tortoise is in the adult stage, the water depth can be adjusted according to the height of their shell.
a special period is when they hibernate, when the water level is especially not too high, but also not too dry, can directly provide a humid environment, the water needs to be slightly shallow.
