the Brazilian tortoise eat? The Brazilian tortoise is an omnivorous and carnivorous animal, so there are various kinds of food for them to eat. At the same time, in order to ensure their adequate nutrition, they also need to be fed with different baits. However, for small Brazilian tortoises, turtle food should be the main ingredient when feeding. Only in this way can they grow healthier. At the same time, they should be fed with small fish, shrimps, water fleas, duckweed and other foods as accessories, once every two to three days. When feeding small fish and shrimps, they can be cut into small pieces before feeding, which is more conducive to the digestion of Brazilian turtles.
? The amount of food Brazilian tortoises eat is closely related to their size and water temperature. The bigger they are, the more they eat. They also eat a little more at the right temperature. Their optimal temperature is 22-28 ℃, at which their metabolism is the most vigorous. Generally speaking, for Brazilian tortoises, they can be fed once a day, and ten to twenty grains of feed can be fed each time. When the feeding is over, the food residues in the water need to be picked up in time. Because the residue in the water will pollute the water quality, which will breed a large number of harmful bacteria and increase their risk of bacterial infection. In addition, a small amount of live bait can be used.
