How many grains of Brazilian tortoise feed are fed at a time depends on their body shape. Different body types and different growth stages have different appetites. If it is a newly born Brazilian tortoise, the number of feeds needs to be smaller, and 3-4 capsules can be fed at a time. If it is a developing Brazilian tortoise, 6-9 grains can be fed at a time. If it is an adult Brazilian tortoise, the feeding amount can be larger, and 10-14 capsules can be fed at a time.
The number of these feeds is not fixed, and breeders need to decide the number of feeds according to their habits and eating habits. In addition, the water temperature of feeding also has certain influence on their eating. If the water temperature of feeding is on the high side, the number of feeding them can be relatively increased. If the water temperature is low, the feeding amount should be reduced.
2. How to feed Brazilian tortoises1. Choose food: Brazilian tortoises are omnivorous animals, and breeders can choose a variety of foods to feed them together. Usually, animal feed can be fed together with plant feed, which can not only meet most of the nutrition needed for their growth and development, but also ensure their balanced nutrition.
2. Feeding method: Brazilian tortoises like to eat in water, and breeders need to put food in water. Moreover, they all feed underwater, so it is best for breeders to choose some sinking feed.
3. Feeding frequency: Young Brazilian tortoises can be fed once a day, because they eat a small amount, so breeders should feed them in a small number of times. When they are adults, they can be fed once every 2-3 days. Because the adult tortoise has increased its appetite and its demand for nutrients will decrease.
