Compared with grass tortoise, Brazilian tortoise has higher IQ. Because the IQ of Brazilian tortoise is relatively high among turtles. In the daily feeding process, as long as the owner can feed them regularly to avoid being frightened, and talk or interact with them every time they feed, the Brazilian tortoise will soon become familiar with the owner and form conditioned reflex.
Successful Brazilian tortoises will immediately come forward when their owners approach. Some are bold and can interact with their owners. If they are put on land, they will always follow their owners.
2. How to train Brazilian tortoisesIf you want to train Brazilian tortoises' conditioned reflex, it is best to start when they are 2-3 months old. Because they are the most lively stage at this time and are curious about the external environment, the training is relatively simple.
The main purpose of Brazilian tortoise training is to make them not afraid of people. Breeders can put food next to them in the early stage, watch them finish eating, and constantly communicate with them. When they are not afraid of their master's approach, they can hold food in their hands and let them eat it. However, care should be taken not to be bitten when feeding. If they are bold, breeders can also try to touch their heads. Even if they don't resist, the breeder should not touch them many times or for a long time. The number and frequency of stroking should be gradual, so that the Brazilian tortoise can be trained well.
