Will ? It is possible for a tortoise to drown. The animals are divided into terrapins and tortoises. Although most of the tortoises can swim, if they swim too deep and far from the shore, they will be at risk of drowning. Even terrapins may drown if they can't adapt to the deep water environment, because swimming for a long time will cause them to lose their strength, and they can't breathe in the water, so they will drown.
1. Shallow water breeding: The best way to prevent tortoises from drowning is shallow water breeding. Especially the turtle just bought home, must not be directly put into the deep water environment, the water level is just over the turtle's back, if too deep, it is easy to cause it to drown. If you are a deep water turtle, you can add water slowly afterwards.
2. Provide landing: In order to prevent the tortoise from losing strength after swimming for a long time, it is better to provide a place for the tortoise to land. With the landing place, the tortoise can rest when it is tired of swimming. It does not need to continue to consume energy, and it can also avoid drowning. In addition, it is also convenient for it to bask in the sun at ordinary times.
3. Pay attention to the bath: The tortoise also needs to take a bath at ordinary times. When taking a bath, you should also pay attention to avoid turning it over, otherwise it may not be able to breathe and cause drowning. When you take a bath, you'd better put it in slowly, don't throw it directly into the water, or you may drown directly without breathing.
