water temperature 1. Reason: Although Brazilian tortoises do not require high water temperature, if the water temperature is too low, it will affect their appetite, and they will enter hibernation directly when the temperature is lower than 15 ℃. If the water temperature is too high, it will also affect their food intake and activity. If the water temperature is higher than 35 C, they will have problems such as refusal to eat and decreased resistance.
2. Solution: The breeder can keep the water temperature between 23-28 ℃, and ensure that the water temperature and the environment are stable. Feeding can be carried out after 1-2 days.
1. Reason: Although the feeding habits of Brazilian tortoises are miscellaneous, feeding only one kind of food for a long time can also cause picky eating or single feeding habits. If they are fed for a long time, they will also refuse to eat.
2. Solution: The breeder can try to feed some live baits such as small fish and shrimps to see if the Brazilian tortoise has the desire to eat, or try to change the feed. In the usual feeding process, it is best to ensure the diversity of food and balanced nutrition.
1. Reason: If the new environment is changed or the environment changes too much, there will also be a situation of stopping eating.
2. Solution: Breeders can wait for them to recover by themselves, during which they can ensure the stability of water temperature and quality.
1. Cause: If the Brazilian tortoise does not eat, closes its eyes and lies still, it is suffering from enteritis. The main cause of enteritis is improper feeding.
2. Solution: The breeder can stop feeding and then treat the Brazilian tortoise with oxytetracycline or gentamicin.
