Pairing: Brazilian tortoises usually mature in about 5 years. After adulthood, Brazilian tortoises will find their own mates and then mate. Mating: Brazilian tortoises start mating in April each year, and then start laying eggs around May. Production: The Brazilian tortoise lays its eggs on soft soil and covers them with soil after laying. Hatching: At this time, eggs will hatch according to the humidity and temperature in nature, and they will hatch successfully in about 2 months.
How do Brazilian tortoises give birth to small turtles and how do they raise small turtles 1. How do Brazilian tortoises give birth to small tortoises

1. Pairing: Under normal circumstances, Brazilian tortoises can reach adulthood in 5 years, and after adulthood, Brazilian tortoises will find the opposite sex for pairing. Generally, male turtles chase female turtles, and if the female turtles agree, they will mate.

2. Mating: Brazilian tortoises start mating after successful mating, and they usually start mating in late April every year. Brazilian tortoises mate in water, which is sensitive and easy to be frightened.

3. Production: The Brazilian tortoise will dig a pit in the ground before production, cover it with the dug soil after laying eggs, and finally flatten it with abdominal armour before leaving.

4. Hatching: Brazilian tortoises don't have the habit of keeping their holes, so they leave directly after laying eggs. Eggs buried in the soil need to rely on natural humidity and temperature to hatch. Under normal circumstances, turtles can hatch in 50-60 days.

2. How to raise Brazilian tortoises

1. Reasonable feeding: Newborn Brazilian tortoises do not need to be fed immediately, because they carry enough vitellotin to absorb for a few days. Breeders can wait for their vitellotin to be absorbed before feeding them food, and newborn turtles need to wait for the umbilical cord to fall off before they can be raised in water.

2. Environmental stability: The newborn tortoise is not adaptable to the environment, and the breeder needs to keep the surrounding environment stable. If conditions permit, you can use a heating rod to keep the water temperature at 25 ℃, and you can also install a filter to ensure clean water quality.
