? Brazilian tortoises grow faster. Their growth rate is closely related to their living environment and feeding. They are best suited to live in a water environment with a water temperature of 22-28 C, in which their growth rate is the fastest. Generally speaking, they can grow 2-8 cm a year. If we want to ensure their growth rate, we need to feed them scientifically. More live baits such as small fish and shrimps, red nematodes, water fleas and tubificidae should be fed. Only in this way can we ensure that their intake of nutrients is comprehensive and adequate. However, it should be noted that when feeding live baits, the live baits should be sterilized in advance.
In order to ensure adequate calcium in their bodies, they need to be illuminated every day for half an hour. In addition, they need to be fed with vegetable puree to provide them with sufficient vitamins to strengthen their physique. Attention should also be paid to changing water, changing water two to three times a week, and changing about one third of the water each time. Walking turtles regularly can also strengthen their physique, and they can be fished out of the water and put on the ground every day to let them move freely. In this way, they can also enhance their intimacy with their owners.
