Brazilian tortoises have strong hunger tolerance. Generally, it is no problem not to feed for 15-30 days in the environment of 20-30 degrees Celsius, but the resistance of Brazilian tortoises will decrease if they are not fed for more than one month. Young Brazilian tortoises, in particular, may starve to death if they are not fed for more than a month. Therefore, it is best to feed Brazilian tortoises at home according to their size. Young Brazilian tortoises should be fed every day, and adult Brazilian tortoises can be fed once every 3-5 days.
How long can a Brazilian tortoise be hungry and how to feed it?

1. how long

can Brazilian tortoises be hungry? Brazilian tortoises can be hungry for about one month, because their hunger tolerance is relatively strong, but long-term non-feeding will reduce their resistance, so breeders had better decide the frequency of feeding according to their size and habits. If they are young turtles, they need to be fed once a day, because they have a high demand for food, and feeding once a day can promote their growth and development. If they are adult Brazilian tortoises, they can choose to feed them once every 3-5 days, because their demand for food has decreased a lot at this time.

2. how to feed

the Brazilian tortoise? The Brazilian tortoise has a mixed diet and can eat more food. The breeder can feed some small fish, shrimps, red worms, animal viscera and other foods, but usually also feed some vegetables, fruits and other foods to ensure the nutritional balance. The feeding frequency of Brazilian tortoises is higher when they are young, which can be fed once a day. When they are adults, the feeding frequency can be reduced, which can be fed once every 3-5 days. The amount of each feeding does not need to be too much, as long as it reaches 7-8% full. After each feeding, food residues need to be cleaned up to avoid polluting the water quality. If conditions permit, water can be changed after each feeding, so as to keep the water clean and refreshing.
