Space: Brazilian tortoises have a high demand for space, and breeders need to give them a space 5-6 times larger than their size. | | Temperature: Brazilian tortoises do not require high temperature and can survive between 22-32 degrees. When the temperature is low, they will go into hibernation, but when the temperature is below 0 degrees, they will easily die. | | Water quality: The excrement of the Brazilian tortoise is relatively large, which seriously pollutes the water quality. You can change a small amount of water after each feeding to keep the water fresh and clean.
How to raise and feed the Brazilian tortoise

1. How to raise

Brazilian tortoises 1. Space: Brazilian tortoises like larger space, and breeders need to prepare a container 5-6 times larger than their size to raise them. When raising, it is better to build a drying platform in the container to facilitate the Brazilian tortoise to bask in the sun or rest.

2. Temperature: Brazilian tortoises like a higher temperature. The breeder can control the temperature between 22-32 degrees. If the temperature is too low, they will enter hibernation. As long as the temperature is less than 0 degrees during hibernation, the breeder does not need to add heat preservation measures to them. If the temperature is less than 0 degrees, the breeder needs to raise the temperature to avoid freezing to death.

3. Water quality: The food Brazilian tortoises eat is easy to pollute the water quality, and their excrement is also more, so it is better to change the water after each feeding to ensure that the water quality is fresh and clean.

2. How to feed

Brazilian tortoises? Young Brazilian tortoises need to eat less and eat more, preferably twice a day. They can be fed with fresh fish, shrimp, or animal viscera. After adulthood, the frequency of feeding can be reduced, once a day or once every two days. At this time, you can feed some small fry, shrimp, lean meat, etc., but also with the special turtle food for Brazilian turtles. It is best to feed some fruits and vegetables regularly at ordinary times, so as to ensure a balanced nutrition.
