tortoises 8 to 9 cm are divided into greenhouse culture and wild. Greenhouse breeding is about one year old, and wild breeding is at least three years old. The calculation method of turtle's age is generally calculated by the concentric ring pattern on the turtle's back armor shield, and one circle represents a growth cycle, that is, one year. The number of rings on the shield, plus the year when the broken shell was born, is the age of the turtle. This calculation method is only applicable to wild turtles, but not to greenhouse turtles.
2. What should we pay attention to when raising Brazilian tortoises1. Suitable environment: Brazilian tortoises grow very fast in the young period, and they can grow 0.5 cm in one month. The growth speed of tortoises has a great relationship with the surrounding environment. If the environment is suitable, the growth speed of Brazilian tortoises will accelerate, and sometimes turtles can grow more than 5cm a year.
2. Clean water quality: The Brazilian tortoise bred in greenhouse can be fed with foods with high protein content such as meat, fish and shrimp, and the Brazilian tortoise can be changed regularly to ensure clean water quality. This will speed up the growth of Brazilian tortoises.
3. Appropriate temperature: When raising Brazilian tortoises, the stability of the surrounding environment should be ensured. The water temperature should be controlled between 22-28 ℃, which is very suitable for the growth of Brazilian tortoise and can accelerate the growth of Brazilian tortoise.
