lead to the turtle is not willing to go into the water for many reasons.Perhaps because just arrived at the new environment, has not fully adapted, so dare not go into the water, need to rest for a period of time.It could also be that the water is too deep, which requires lowering the water level so that it will go down.If the space is too small, it will not go into the water, and even want to escape, so it is best to use a larger container to raise it.
1. Water quality: The water for raising turtles is generally tap water. Like fish farming, it needs to be aired to remove chlorine before it can be used.In addition, if the water quality is not good, it will lead to disease, so regular water needs to be changed.Usually, the water should be replaced completely for several hours before and after feeding, and the water temperature should be consistent before and after feeding.
2. Water temperature: There are many kinds of turtles, but basically they prefer a higher temperature. Therefore, it is best to control the water temperature above 20 ℃. Some turtles will stop eating in the environment below 18 ℃. In the long run, it will be harmful to their health.Generally, the high temperature should not exceed 35 C. Too hot can also lead to heatstroke.
3. Water depth: Generally, turtles do not need to be raised in too deep water. Although some deep-water turtles can live in the water all the time and do not need to go ashore except for spawning, it is best to control the water level so that they do not cross the back of the turtle. If the water is too deep, it will easily cause them to lose strength when swimming, and even have the risk of drowning.
