Choosing the right container for keeping turtles at home is a crucial step in your journey. I believe everyone knows this, and there are many turtle friends who have stepped on a lot of pits, such as Xiaobian himself. Xiaobian has always not recommended everyone to use the novice happy tank, because I have also suffered from it.
For many first-time turtle owners or even battle-hardened turtle lovers, the main problem they face is also the same: whether to choose a light and cheap turnover box with a slightly less ornamental view, or choose a bulky and expensive glass tank with better ornamentation? Some turtle friends raised the question, how to choose the following two environments? Waiting online, I'm in a hurry to get started.
A crate is a lightweight, affordable rearing container. It is usually made of plastic and has good durability and water resistance. The crates usually have a large space capacity and can meet the living needs of most turtles. In addition, due to its light material, it is relatively easy to handle and clean. It is economical, low cost, and much more convenient for decorating the scenery.
However, the ornamentation of the crate is relatively poor, and there is no sense of transparency. However, some turtle friends said that it was because there was no transparent perception that the turtle had a sense of safety. Theoretically, it is a turtle container with no defects. It seems that there is a sense to say so.
For families with a limited budget or limited space to keep their feeding, a crate is a good option.
Glass tanks are a more ornamental rearing vessel. It is made of transparent glass and provides a clear representation of the turtle's life. Landscaping or something, it's really a rare thing. However, the glass tank is mainly used for fish farming, and the fish has little damage to the landscaping, and it is also suitable for viewing in a conspicuous position such as the living room.
But the turtle is not good, it is very destructive to the landscaping, and it will also have two effects in the living room because of the movement of people: 1. Being disturbed leads to stress; 2. When people come over, they hit the water surface to ask for food, which is very noisy, and the excretion of the turtle is large and smelly.
But if you have your own independent small space, then it is also a good choice to use a glass jar to enjoy it yourself.
However, in addition to good viewing, the glass cylinder is fragile, bulky and expensive, which you have to consider.
Choosing one of the two, what would you choose? The opinion of most turtle friends is to choose the turnover box, which is economical and easy to take care of, and is suitable for a long time. After all, raising turtles is not an overnight thing. What do you think?
