Nowadays, many people like to raise cute Brazilian tortoises, especially those whose families have students. Under the competition of their classmates, they may bring a small tortoise home one day. Although Brazilian turtles are relatively easy to raise, they have a disadvantage: they eat a lot and excrete more quickly. In addition, the indoor temperature is high, and the remaining feed and feces are easily putrefied together, so the water always smells. It had only been two days since the water had been changed, and it had turned into a pool of muddy soup again. Even the Brazilian turtle was almost invisible.
If there is sufficient light, green algae will also breed. In particular, some people use relatively small glass jars or washbasins to raise turtles. If they are not careful, the smell will be overwhelming, and it is not healthy for people to bother the turtles.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to completely change the water. Generally, all dirty water is changed four hours after feeding. When changing the water, first take the turtle out and put it in a bucket. At the same time, it is best to scrub the walls and bottom of the container with a brush, then inject clean water with a suitable temperature and put the turtle back into the water. It should be noted that not all species of bog or aquatic turtles can adapt to a complete change of water, but the Brazilian turtle will quickly become accustomed to this practice and the disturbance it brings to it. After completely changing the water, it may induce the Brazilian turtle to expel feces in the intestines at a faster pace, thereby soiling the water that has just been changed. Therefore, if necessary, it is best to change the water for the Brazilian turtle before going to bed at night. Although it may feel a bit troublesome to do this, it can ensure the healthy growth of the turtle
