1. Self-treatment 1. Reason: The shell cracking of Brazilian tortoises may be due to their fast growth and their carapace can't bear too large a size, which will lead to cracking, which is common in young tortoises.
2, Solution: After confirming that the cracking is caused by the growth rate, the breeder does not need to deliberately treat it, and they will recover the next time they shed their shells.
2. Apply anti-inflammatory drugs1. Reason: Brazilian tortoises may crack because of injuries, such as falling from a height or being hit by heavy objects, which will cause their carapace to crack.
2. Solution: This kind of cracking is serious, and the breeder needs timely treatment. First of all, they should be fished out of the water for dry cultivation, and then chlortetracycline or erythromycin should be used, and they can be cured by basking in the sun.
3. Reduce the time to bask in the sun1. Reason: The shell of Brazilian tortoise may also crack because the sun rays are too violent. If they are exposed to the sun, the carapace will crack.
2. Solution: Breeders need to reduce their sun time and try to avoid sunbathing them at noon.
4. Feeding penicillin or oxytetracycline1. Reason: The cracking of the shell of Brazilian tortoise may also be caused by rot, mainly due to poor water quality or bacterial infection.
2. Solution: Breeders need to isolate them first, then apply some drugs such as penicillin or oxytetracycline to them, and finally put them on land for a period of time to recover.
