It usually takes more than five years to raise four or five pounds of Brazilian tortoises. Compared with other tortoises, their growth rate is relatively fast. However, the average weight of Brazilian tortoises in adulthood is between 2-4 kg, so not all Brazilian tortoises can weigh 4-5 kg. If breeders want to make Brazilian tortoises weigh about 4-5 kg, they must first ensure that their living environment is comfortable, so that they can grow better. Secondly, we should ensure sufficient food and space, and finally prevent diseases.

1. Comfortable environment: Although Brazilian tortoises have low requirements for the environment, the harsh environment will affect their body development. If you want them to grow bigger, you must ensure that they live in a comfortable environment. Usually, when feeding, it is necessary to keep the water quality clean, and it is best to change the water 1-2 times a week. The water temperature should also be kept between 20-30 ℃. If conditions permit, the water temperature can be kept between 25-30 ℃ by using a heating rod. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that they have enough living space, and the containers prepared for them should be about three times larger than their size.

2. Adequate food: If you want Brazilian tortoises to grow faster, you should feed them more nutritious food. In this way, they can have sufficient nutrition in the process of growth and development.

3. Disease prevention: In the process of their growth and development, breeders should also pay attention to disease prevention. Because illness will not only affect their growth and development, but also have a certain impact on their physique.
