of Brazilian tortoises. Brazilian tortoises can be fed irregularly and regularly. Brazilian tortoises living in the wild eat irregularly. The tortoise is fed at different frequencies at different stages of its growth. Normally, tortoises aged 0-5 are fed twice a day to meet their nutritional needs for growth and development. The tortoises aged 5 to 10 can be fed once a day, while Brazilian tortoises over 10 can be fed once every two days to ensure their normal metabolic capacity. The frequency of
feeding and the amount of feeding are also related to the water temperature. If the water temperature is lower than 24 ℃, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of feeding and the amount of feeding. Because when the water temperature in the tank is lower than 24 C, the metabolic rate of the turtle will decrease, so it is necessary to reduce the feeding frequency and reduce the feeding amount, otherwise it will cause a load on the normal life of the turtle and affect the health of the turtle.
