1. will the Brazilian tortoise continue to eat

when it is full? Generally speaking, if the Brazilian tortoise eats too much, it will not continue to eat. At this time, most of them are not very active and lazy. People who have raised Brazilian tortoises should know that they do not eat food that sinks to the bottom of the water, so the food they feed is relatively dry, and some of them will swell after being put into the water, so don't feed too much when feeding. The inflated food can easily cause them to hold up, and some turtles will not eat for several days after holding up, which will seriously affect their health. If you find that they don't eat, first of all, you should see if they are holding up. If they are holding up, you should not feed them for a while and let them digest slowly. Wait until the food is digested before feeding.

2. How to control

the feeding amount of Brazilian tortoises? Generally, the method of controlling the feeding amount of Brazilian tortoises is to eat less and eat more. In the daily feeding, you can reduce the amount of each feeding, each feeding 5% of the body weight, you can increase the number of daily feeding, which can not only prevent them from eating too much, but also avoid water pollution due to food. If they are fed too much food at one time, if they can't eat it, too much food will be in the water, which will pollute the water quality and easily lead to various turtle diseases.
