Water has always been known as the source of life, and all living organisms are basically inseparable from water. For example, the water content of jellyfish itself can reach 98%, even if it is a baby, there is about 80% water. For turtles, whether it is a water turtle, a semi-water turtle or a land, it is inseparable from water, it may just be that water turtles need water environment to survive and will use more water. So, since you live in water most of the time, the biggest source of pollution in the water is turtles. We can't do what the natural cycle in nature means we need to manually replenish new water into it.
The question is, everyone's feeding environment is more or less different, and some small partners feel that their water stinks so fast?
Speaking of this, Xiaobian remembered a short video I watched a few days ago, which was about collecting second-hand cars: the owner bought a few days later the car broke down on the road, and he also angrily found the sales staff at that time, the result was that his car ran out of oil, the fuel tank meter would not look, and he saw the water temperature meter. Haha, who else can blame this? This is actually a lot like the scene of our turtle raising sometimes don't you think?
Some turtle friends hate that turtles are dirty, and the kung fu water begins to stink after a while, especially in this hot season. At first glance, it turned out that the environment was small, the water level was shallow, and the turtle was quite large. Don't you think it's dirty all at once? Turtles have other excretory and metabolic activities in the water in addition to, coupled with the amount of water collected to estimate that even a mineral water bottle is not enough, and the water with the small environment is indeed too much. But it is not to pursue the back and back, such a small amount of water, you think the water is not dirty.
In the summer, after you feed the food residue and the excrement of the turtle, it is easier to make the water that exceeds the pollution load susceptible to odor. There is no doubt about this, so if the water caused by this cause stinks quickly, it is no wonder that the turtle can only blame the owner.
There is also a reason why the water is easy to become smelly, which also makes the editor cry and laugh. It is a kind of "cleanliness" of the owner itself, and it is necessary to feel that the water is clean and transparent to be the water environment, and there is no room for a little particles or turtle feces in the eyes. In fact, the skin metabolism of the turtle and a small amount of excretion will not change too much water quality, at most the transparency is poor. How can this be endured, it has to be changed! The frequent increase in the frequency of water change violates our taboo of changing water, which can be good. I have to say that psychologically you have to accept the fact that if you still maintain your psychological "comfort", then you have to take the risk yourself.
If your water body is large enough and the environment is not crowded, even if the summer is a fast season of excretion, it is still possible to change the water once a day, and you can not change it every time. This may be your minimum water use. In this case, it is unlikely that the water body will be prone to odor.
Of course, the water body is easy to stink and when feeding live food, after the live food is torn by the turtle, some broken meat and blood body fluids will enter the water body, change the solute of the water body, and expand the specific surface area, which will also cause it to deteriorate quickly. After feeding live food, the residue and oil film can be removed in time or a little water can be replaced.
There are still many friends who change the water once a few days, or only add water without changing the water, is it not that their turtles are not dirty? Obviously not, how can this problem be blamed on the turtle, although the amount of food and excretion of different species of turtles are different, but in the end, this environmental problem is still our own arrangement problem.
