The grass fruit needs a heating rod. Grass turtles belong to a kind of poikilothermic animals, which will change their physiological activities with temperature. The temperature suitable for the survival of grass turtles is between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. The active period of its growth is between June and August. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, its digestive capacity will decrease with the decrease of temperature, and its appetite will also decrease. In this way, the grass turtle with poor resistance is easy to induce diseases, and even harm its life and health, so it needs a heating rod to heat the water temperature to adapt to hibernation without damaging the body, at least to more than 10 degrees Celsius.
Generally speaking, tortoises need to avoid holes. First of all, the character of the tortoise is more timid, need to give it a certain sense of security, so that it can grow up in the fish tank. At the same time, the escape hole can also give it a shelter when it hibernates, which can prevent it from running around. Specifically, the location of the turtle shelter hole is generally built in the water, because there are still a few turtles living entirely on land, after the shelter hole is built, we should always pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the shelter hole, to avoid bacterial infection leading to illness.
