Water quality is very important for the health of turtles, so cleaning up the water is very important. Generally speaking, the water in the turtle tank can be cleaned once every seven days, but it is mainly flexible according to the season. If it is summer, mosquitoes, bacteria breeding more, the frequency of replacement can be accelerated, three to five days to change once is not too much.
In winter, when the grass turtle enters its hibernation period, the frequency of changing water does not need to be too fast, just keep changing it once or twice a month, and the amount of water in the fish tank does not need to be too much at this time. At any time, the water does not need to be changed completely, but only a third or a quarter at a time, or the water with some attachments at the bottom of the fish tank can be changed.
The grass turtle generally uses the tap water to raise. But before it is officially used, tap water needs to be exposed to the sun for two days to kill the chlorine and other substances contained in it. In fact, the water quality requirements of grass turtles are not particularly strict, but it should be noted that the water for raising grass turtles should be kept clean at all times, basically in about seven days need to change the water, the amount of water to change is not too large, each time a third or a quarter can be. The water level should not be too deep, if the water level is too deep, it is not suitable for the growth of grass turtles.
