How to choose and raise a Brazilian tortoise

1. How to choose

Brazilian tortoises 1. Look at temperament: Brazilian tortoises are more lively than ordinary tortoises. When choosing Brazilian tortoises, breeders can put them on their hands to see if they will stretch out their heads and limbs. If you can, you are more lively and active, and you are more bold and healthy. Brave Brazilian tortoises are more adaptable and faster to buy and eat.

2. Look at the appearance: First, observe whether the limbs are injured, and then check whether the four claws and nails are complete. See if the carapace is smooth and if the scutellum is missing. Finally, look at whether the color is bright, because the color of the Brazilian tortoise will become lighter and lighter with age, so when choosing a small Brazilian tortoise, you should choose a bright color.

3. Look at the crawling speed: The breeder can put the Brazilian tortoise on the ground to see its crawling speed. Generally, those who crawl faster are very healthy.

2. How to raise

Brazilian tortoises 1. Water temperature: The water temperature that Brazilian tortoises like is 22-26 ℃, and the breeder needs to keep the water temperature above 22 ℃.

2. Water quality: The excrement of Brazilian tortoises is relatively large, and the food they eat is relatively easy to pollute the water quality, so the breeders try to change the water three times a week.

3. Illumination: Brazilian tortoises prefer illumination, but they cannot be illuminated for a long time. Breeders can regularly expose them to the sun for about 1-2 hours every day, which can not only sterilize and disinfect, but also promote their absorption of calcium.
