1. Reason: The Brazilian tortoise has no vocal cords, so it will not call under normal circumstances. If there is a sudden call, the breeder can first observe whether there are other symptoms, if not, it may be estrus.
2. Solution: If the breeder wants to let them breed, he can put another Brazilian turtle of the opposite sex in the container and let them mate by themselves. After successful mating, they will not call again.
1. Cause: As mentioned above, the Brazilian tortoise has no vocal cords, so it may be sick. The voice of the Brazilian tortoise comes from the respiratory tract. First of all, we can observe whether the respiratory tract is infected. The amount of food eaten by the Brazilian tortoise with respiratory tract infection will be reduced. The symptoms are similar to pneumonia. But pneumonia can also cause symptoms such as open mouth breathing, white secretions in the mouth and nose, always floating on the surface of the water, and sleeping with the head down. The main reason why Brazilian tortoises suffer from upper respiratory tract infections or pneumonia is that the temperature difference is too large or the temperature drops sharply.
2. Solution: The breeder can keep the temperature constant first, preferably between 23-28 ℃. Then use penicillin or streptomycin to soak, and then feed the sick Brazilian tortoise with anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin or cephalosporin for a week to recover. If the symptoms are more serious, you can also inject gentamicin or streptomycin intramuscularly, according to the weight of the Brazilian tortoise, 1 kg 3 ml injection ratio.
