1. Prevent heatstroke: After entering summer, breeders had better transfer them indoors, which can reduce their heatstroke. If they can't be moved indoors, they can do a sunshade above the container where they live. However, in the normal feeding process, it is necessary to check the temperature regularly. If the temperature is found to be too high, new water should be added to cool down.
2. Change water in time: In summer, the metabolism of Brazilian tortoises will improve, and the deterioration of water quality will be accelerated. Breeders need to increase the frequency of water change to ensure clean water quality. If conditions permit, a filtration system can be installed to slow down the deterioration of water quality.
3. Reduce sun time: In summer, breeders need to reduce the sun time of Brazilian tortoises. Because of the high temperature in summer, it is easy to dehydrate if you stay in a dry environment for a long time.
2. How to feed Brazilian tortoises in summerWhen the temperature is high in summer, the metabolism of Brazilian tortoises will also increase. Breeders had better choose to feed them once every 1-2 days, so as to ensure their adequate nutrition. If it is a growing Brazilian tortoise, it can be fed once a day. If it is a newborn Brazilian tortoise, it can be fed twice a day, but the amount of each feeding should not be too much.
It is necessary to clean up in time when feeding in summer, especially the residue of live bait, which is very easy to pollute water quality and breed bacteria. Breeders need to fish out food residues and feces after eating Brazilian tortoises to reduce the impact on water quality.
