Turtle friends, are you often troubled by the "bloody fights" between turtles in your home? Seeing them refusing to give in to each other makes me feel worried. In fact, it is not uncommon for turtles to bite each other, and the most common reason behind it is often related to rotten skin.
As the name suggests, rotten skin is an indicator of skin ulceration. This kind of ulcerated skin will release a special fishy smell, which is like a signal of provocation and attack to other turtles. They are likely to bite their companions because of the taste, leading to constant fights.
So, how can we effectively solve this problem? The answer is - improve the environmental water quality, reduce rotten skin or increase avoidance!
A clean and healthy water environment is crucial for turtles. In addition to installing a qualified filtration system to ensure clear water quality, there is also a simple and effective method, which is to add some terminalia leaves to the water.
Terminalia leaves can not only increase the humus in the water, but also speed up the process. The aging process of water bodies, and more importantly, it can also increase the color concentration of water. Such an environment is not only closer to the turtle's natural habitat, but also effectively reduces fights caused by the smell of blood. Of course, good avoidance is also very effective. The injured turtle will hide on its own to reduce the damage it takes.
So, dear turtle friends, you might as well try this method to create a harmonious and healthy living environment for your turtles!
