? The Brazilian tortoise needs to bask in the sun, because the sun can supplement vitamins and promote the absorption of calcium by the Brazilian tortoise. It can also effectively kill bacteria on the carapace, and the small Brazilian tortoise often basks in the sun to prevent problems such as brittle carapace. Therefore, more sunshine is very good for the growth and development of Brazilian tortoises. Although adequate sunshine can improve the resistance of Brazilian tortoises, in summer, when the sun is strong, it is necessary to minimize the time of sunshine, or choose to bask in the morning or evening. If it is exposed to the sun at noon, it is easy to cause dehydration or death.
the sun? The best time for the Brazilian tortoise to bask in the sun is to choose a fixed time. The breeder can choose different time according to different seasons. In spring and autumn, when the sunshine is not strong, you can choose according to the time, 1-2 hours a day. In summer, it's best to choose 9-11 in the morning or 4-6 in the afternoon, as long as you avoid the midday sun.
In winter, you can choose to bask in the sun from 11 am to 2 pm, because the sunshine is warmer at this time. If the water level of Brazilian turtles is shallow, they can choose to put stones or boards in the container, and they will climb up to bask in the sun by themselves. If the water level is deep, the Brazilian tortoise can be taken out directly to dry on the ground, and then put back after drying. If the weather is overcast and rainy, artificial light is needed.
