What should I pay attention to when raising a pig nosed turtle?

In addition, hognose turtles are mostly transverse, so choose an aquarium that is wide enough.

Hognose turtles not only have hiding habits, but also digging behaviors, so it is best not to use bottom filtration in the selection of filtration methods, and the upper outside of the box is the best filtration method. At the same time, in order to meet the habit of hognose turtle digging, fine coral sand is the most suitable bottom sand. This kind of bottom sand is convenient for pig nose excavation, the surface is smooth, it is not easy to bruise the epidermis of the pig nose, and it can also adjust the water quality to weak alkaline, providing a more suitable water quality living environment for the pig nose turtle.

Raising a pig-nosed turtle requires maintaining clean water quality at all times, and if the water becomes turbid, the water needs to be changed immediately. The first time you keep a pignose turtle is to wait for it to acclimatize before feeding, and the rest are usually fed at night.

When there is a lot of excrement in the tank, keep the water change frequency at least once a week.

Daily feeding of pignose turtles requires maintaining clean water quality, and it is necessary to observe the clarity of the water quality when feeding the pignose turtles every day.
