The grass turtle is a kind of common turtle, they can be bred at home, for the effect of viewing is good. Before farming, we need to know their attributes first, and then we can control the environment reasonably. The grass turtle is a kind of terrapin, which needs water when it is raised. However, some people say that the grass turtle is a semi-water turtle, in fact, the way of breeding is not too big, just need to pay attention to the water level.
As mentioned above, the grass turtle is a kind of terrapin, so it needs to be raised in water if it is raised at home. It cannot be raised dry, otherwise the grass turtle may be dried to death. However, some people think that the grass turtle is a semi-water turtle, they usually need to dry their shells. So, they can't stay in the water all the time. The first thing to pay attention to is the water level, must not be too high, can let the water level just over their feet, and let their shells above the water surface. In addition, some stones or other things can be put in the container for the tortoise to climb up and bask in the sun more conveniently.
When raising grass turtles in water, you have to pay attention to the problem of changing the water. Even if there is not too much water, you can't change it when they are very dirty. Otherwise, the bacteria that grow in them may cause the grass turtles to get sick. Changing water can use tap water at home, which is more convenient to use. However, chlorine and bleaching powder can cause harm to the body of grass turtles, so it is recommended to expose them in the sun for a period of time before using them to let the chlorine volatilize. If you don't have time to dry water, you can use pure water directly. When changing the water, you have to pay attention to the water level, control it, not too high.
