Why did the Brazilian tortoise shrink in its shell and stop moving? What should I do 1. Be frightened

1. Reason: Brazil's retreat in its shell is probably caused by being frightened. Although they are lively in character, they are also more susceptible to being frightened. If there is a loud noise around them or they are suddenly fished out of the water, they will be frightened.

2. Solution: Breeders need to keep their surroundings quiet after being frightened, and ensure that their living environment is comfortable, so that they can return to normal more quickly.

2. The water temperature is low

1. Reason: Brazil is trapped in the turtle shell and the water temperature is too low. If the water temperature is too low, they will choose to retract their limbs into the shell to keep warm. This situation is more common in young turtles.

2, Solution: Breeders need to slowly raise the water temperature to 25 ℃, and when they adapt to the warm environment, they will stick out their limbs.

3. Hibernation

1. Reason: The tortoise has been shrinking in its shell and may be hibernating. When the temperature is lower than 15 ℃, they will go into hibernation directly. When Brazilian tortoises hibernate, they completely retract their limbs into their shells.

2. Solution: After the tortoise goes into hibernation, the breeder should not disturb them or make too much noise. Also lower the water level below the carapace to avoid the high water level affecting their breathing.
