Raising red-eared Brazilian turtles should ensure that they are provided with a safe and stable water environment. They are very timid, so when choosing a turtle tank, choose translucent glass. Because this not only allows the keeper to observe the activities of the tortoise, but also gives them a sense of security. Water should be changed regularly, and about one third of the total amount of water should be changed each time to ensure clean water quality. The water temperature should be kept above 15 ℃, preferably between 23-28 ℃.

red-eared Brazilian turtles? When breeding red-eared Brazilian turtles, we need to pay attention to the choice of fish tanks, the creation of water quality environment and scientific feeding.

They do not require high water quality environment, but their most suitable water quality environment is weak alkaline soft water, and the water temperature should be controlled between 23-28 C. During hibernation, the water temperature should be kept below 15 C to avoid premature plasticity.

And feed them scientifically. They are omnivorous and carnivorous animals, so it is necessary to ensure that the bait is rich and diverse, so as to avoid malnutrition. At this time, you can choose turtle food as the main ingredient and fresh and sterilized live bait as the auxiliary ingredient. At the same time, the water in the fish tank should ensure that the water depth does not exceed their body length, so that when they stand on tiptoe, they can put their heads out of the water to breathe, which can effectively avoid drowning.
