Because the tortoise is a reptile, not a fish, and has no gills, it can't breathe in the water. They must breathe regularly.

If they are raised in deep water and no platform is provided, they may be exhausted by floating to the surface to breathe frequently and finally drown.

Therefore, to raise turtles in deep water, we must provide terraces.

1. Can turtles be raised in water? Turtle is a reptile that can live in water for a long time, so it can be raised in water.

Hydroponics has many benefits for turtles, such as preventing them from being bitten by mosquitoes.

If it is artificially raised, tap water can be used, but it needs to be left standing overnight or exposed to the sun for a period of time.

In the process of saving water, there are still many factors to be paid attention to.

For example, water quality, soft-shelled turtle is very sensitive to water quality. Once the water quality is too poor, it is easy to get sick, so change the water regularly.

Then there is the water temperature, and turtles have higher requirements for water temperature.

Because the tortoise is a temperature-changing animal, the surrounding temperature will have a great impact on its appetite and activities, so it is suggested that the water temperature should be kept between 20-30 degrees, which is most conducive to the growth of the tortoise.

Oxygen content in water is also an important aspect, and artificial oxygenation can be carried out when necessary.

Second, will the turtle be drowned by water? As mentioned above, the turtle is a reptile and can live in water.

In fact, the water quality of soft-shelled turtle is still relatively good, and it can be raised in deep water.

However, turtles can't breathe in water, so they have to surface to breathe air.

If they have no place to breathe and stay in the water all the time, they may also drown.

Therefore, when using deep-water culture, it is best to provide them with a terrace to prevent them from drowning, because they often float to the surface to breathe.
