How to keep turtles easily:


1. Prepare an Aquarium or other container as a place to live


You can choose an aquarium or other container according to the size of the turtle to be kept. The aquarium should also have a cover so the turtles can't escape. In addition, the height or depth of the water must be at least twice the body length of the turtle. Put rocks in the aquarium so the turtles don't stay in the water forever or place them in hiding too.


2. Caring for and Maintaining the Temperature of the Cage


How to care for the next turtle is to pay attention to the right temperature. A good temperature for tortoises is between 20-28°C or normal room temperature. Use a net to pick up debris from the aquarium every day. To keep the water clean at all times, collect feces, food scraps, and other debris daily. Clean the water every three weeks. Move the turtles to a spare tank so you can clean the main tank. Save 1/4 to 1/2 of the water from the tank, and remove any excess water, including peat and old soil. After that, scrub the rocks, hiding boxes, and walls in the aquarium.


3. Observe the tortoise's food


Like other living things, turtles need good food to maintain health. Foods that are suitable for the development of turtles are small pellets that have nutritional content. You can also give fish to turtles. Fish can be fish meat that has been cut and chopped.


Give the amount of feed as needed. If excessive, the tortoise will be overweight and indigestion will arise. The right time for turtles to eat is twice a day.
