And before laying eggs, they will keep walking around, and their legs will push back from time to time. Emotional performance is very restless, especially after dark, the mood is very irritable. When they are about to give birth, they will also have the situation of picking the nest, because they will lay the eggs in the nest.
after laying eggs? 1. Natural hatching: Brazilian tortoises dig holes before laying eggs. They lay eggs in holes and cover them with soil or sand. They rely on natural light, temperature and humidity to hatch. The success rate of this hatching method is slightly lower, so it is usually artificial hatching, but if the temperature is suitable, the breeder can also let them hatch on their own.
2. Artificial incubation: If you lay more eggs, you can buy a constant temperature incubator, lay 2-4 cm of sand on the bottom of the incubator, and then lay 3-4 cm of sand on the eggs. The temperature of the incubator should be controlled at 30 degrees, the humidity should be 80% -90%, a thermometer can be inserted into the sand, checked 3-4 times a day and recorded, generally about 55-65 days can be hatched.
