Hello friends @steemit
Of the various types of pets, one example of an interesting animal to care for is a small turtle. The cute shape will look beautiful if placed into a mini aquarium that can be placed anywhere, be it at the office or at home. Basically this small tortoise is easy to treat, if we already know how. In the following article, the Reading Corner will explain in detail how to properly care for small turtles.
Aquarium Size
Although it looks simple, but your tortoise aquarium conditions should be noted. A minimum aquarium is 3-4 times the length of the turtle's body. So the tortoise can not climb out. For the width of the aquarium, make sure the size is not too narrow to provide enough space for the turtles to swim freely.
Water Condition
The water in the aquarium should be changed daily to keep it clean. The amount does not need too much, just a quarter or a third of the aquarium. Turtles are not fish that breathe with gills. The turtles are still breathing using the nose, so the water does not need much.
Rest area
Although placed in the aquarium, you need to remember also that the tortoise is an amphibious animal, the animal that lives in two realms. Therefore, turtles do not swim all the time. Sometimes, the tortoise wants to be on land to dry off and rest. Do not forget to provide a place like this in your turtle aquarium. This resting place can use anything. Importantly, the surface height of this place should not be too high from the surface of the water, so your little tortoise can still reach it.
Food
One way to take good care of small turtles is to feed them well. For practical purposes, it is advisable to purchase a special palette for small turtles. However, do not stick to this palette only. Every now and then, you need to change the food menu so your tortoise does not feel bored. The replacement food can be either a silk worm or fish flesh. Do not give it vegetables, because it will cause digestive problems.
Sunlight
Turtles need to sunbathe occasionally each day. This can keep the shell clean and healthy. In addition, UV rays from the sun can also help turtles digest their food. For that, make sure your turtles get plenty of sunlight every day.
How to care for the little turtle is pretty easy, is not it? If you're a lover of animals but do not really want to bother taking care of pets, a small turtle is one smart choice.
