What is the most suitable water level for raising small turtles?

Abstract: [What is the most suitable water level for raising small turtles? ]

The depth of the water for raising turtles should just cover the turtle's back, which is good for the turtle's breathing and can save the turtle's energy. If the water is too shallow, it will affect the turtle's eating and easily cause dehydration. If the water is too deep, the turtle will have no place to rest. You should set up a sunning platform for the turtle so that the turtle can have a place to rest and sunbathe.

The best water for raising turtles is one that just covers the turtle's back. This allows the turtle to stick its head out of the water to breathe, but the water is not too deep and it has no place to stand, forcing the turtle to swim up to breathe, which consumes its energy.

If the water is too shallow, the turtle will have difficulty eating and will easily become dehydrated. The water quality will also deteriorate quickly. If the water is too deep, the turtle will be tired from swimming and there is also the risk of drowning. Therefore, it is best if the water level just covers the turtle's back.

Placing a sunning platform in the turtle's water tank can provide the turtle with a resting platform and is conducive to the turtle's back basking. For turtles in deep water tanks, having a sunning platform can ensure that the turtle has a place to rest when it is tired of swimming.
