What are the pros and cons of raising turtles in deep water? This issue has been discussed by turtle friends. In fact, we have to judge which way we should raise the turtle based on its living habits. Because some turtles are inherently deep-water turtles and have better water properties, then we should raise them in deep water; while some turtles are semi-water turtles, so we should raise them in shallow water. In our daily operation of raising turtles, some turtle friends think that water turtles live in water, and the water quality must be very good, and the deeper the water is, the more ornamental it is. As a result, the turtle drowned; some turtle friends are in this situation and feel that the turtle is not Fish that are not good at water should be kept in shallow water.

Should turtles be raised in deep water or shallow water? I personally think that any healthy aquatic turtle can actually be kept in deep water, but you need to put a foot-resting object in the turtle tank so that the turtle can put its head out of the water through the object to breathe. You have to trust the state of nature. How deep is the lake? Isn’t it deeper than the water we raise at home? We can still live well.

1. What are the advantages of raising turtles in deep water and what matters need to be paid attention to? The water body is large and the water temperature is relatively stable, which can avoid various diseases caused by temperature differences; at the same time, the water quality is relatively stable, which can reduce the frequency of water changes; secondly, the large water body can give the turtle a relatively large swimming space, thus exercising the turtle's ability Physique makes the tortoise stronger. When we use deep water to raise turtles, there must be stepping stones or aquatic plants for the turtles in the tank. This can ensure that the turtles can easily stand on the stepping stones (or aquatic plants) and stick their heads out of the water to breathe, thus avoiding the risk of swimming due to lack of physical strength. Drowning; at the same time, we need to reduce the number of landscaping objects in the turtle tank to prevent the turtle from getting stuck in the landscaping objects due to too many landscaping objects and thus not being able to swim out of the water in time to breathe, causing drowning; As long as you pay attention to the above two points, whether it is a hatchling or an adult turtle, as long as it is healthy, there is no problem in deep water breeding.

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising turtles in shallow water? The advantage of raising turtles in shallow water is that turtles can easily put their heads out of the water to breathe. Even weak and sick turtles are not at risk of drowning. Raising turtles in shallow water uses less water each time, making it easier to change the water and more convenient to clean. The disadvantage is that when the water body is small, the water quality becomes dirty quickly, and it is difficult to maintain long-term stability of the water quality. Frequent water changes can easily cause some turtle diseases; the water body is small and the water temperature is unstable, which can also cause turtle diseases due to temperature differences. Disease; In a relatively large venue, shallow water provides much less space for turtles to move around than deep water, which is not conducive to physical exercise of turtles. When multiple turtles are kept at the same time, fights are more likely to occur, and the risk of tail docking and injury is higher.

In short, when we can raise turtles in deep water, we try not to use shallow water, as deep water produces strong turtles It still makes sense. The amount of exercise and swimming instinct will be released, and it can also promote the turtle's own consumption and prevent it from accumulating too much fat. These are beneficial. In fact, there is no such thing as a deep-water turtle or a shallow-water turtle. A water turtle is a water turtle and can be water-based. To be honest, how deep can our own water be? Deep water and shallow water are not fixed, you still need to grasp them yourself.
