Why doesn t my turtle like to stay in the water?

Turtles like to stay in places that are half land and half water, and cannot stay in the water for a long time; If you live in the water for a long time, you will get sick.

Turtles belong to semi-aquatic and semi-terrestrial reptiles, which need to breathe, belong to lung-breathing animals, need to go ashore to rest, generally half of their bodies are in the water and half of their bodies are outside, and they like to bask in the sun on shallow beaches, but there must be water.

Hello, glad to answer for you! Grass turtles are amphibious reptiles that mainly inhabit rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and other waters. During the day, they tend to be trapped in water, but when they need to breathe, cool off in summer, forage for eggs, etc., grass turtles will also crawl onto land to carry out corresponding activities.

Grass turtles do not like to be in the water, which is mainly related to factors such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen amount, water quality, and season. The main reason for this is that the grass turtle needs to draw oxygen directly from the air, rather than breathing directly in the water like most aquatic animals. I hope to help you with the keywork.

Turtles are reluctant to go into the water, and the first thing to do is to find the reason from the environment. If the water temperature is not suitable and the water quality is not good, the turtle will be reluctant to enter the water, after all, the turtle also knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and will not want to stay in an uncomfortable environment.

In addition, if filtration is useful, it should also be noted that the water flow should not be too turbulent, as too turbulent water will cause the turtle to not be able to swim normally in the water and rest, and the turtle will not want to stay in the water.

If the turtle suffers from fungal infections such as rotting skin and rotting nails, it will often climb to the shore to dry its back and recover itself. If you suffer from gastroenteritis or cold pneumonia, there will be floating in the water, and the turtle's physique is weak, and it will not be able to swim normally in the water, and it will also become reluctant to go into the water.

The turtle is always out of the water, it will dry up on the shore, and it will not go to the water because he does not like the environment in the water. Turtles need to get some sun.

It's good to give the turtle a daily sunbath. When it's warm, you can leave it in the sun for about 15 minutes. Be careful not to expose to the sun!

Ninety o'clock in the morning, three or four o'clock in the afternoon is the best sunshine. Regular sun exposure replenishes calcium and kills bacteria in the crevices of its shell.

Most turtles need a long period of sunlight every day to grow healthily.

Either there is a problem with the water quality, there are threats in the water, and third, the turtle has lung disease and is not suitable for entering the water.

Turtles are amphibians that can survive even if they are not in the water, and most of them also like to bask in the sun on the shore.

The turtle is always in the second silly and not in the water, indicating that Wugui likes to bask in the sun and likes this feeling of falling in love.

Now that the seasons are changing and the weather is cold, they are all about to hibernat, and many turtles hibernate in the wet sand, so they are not very willing to go into the water, so let them go.
