1. Self-recovery 1. Reason: If it is a newborn tortoise, the soft shell is relatively normal. Because they are just born, their shells have not yet begun to develop.
2, Solution: Breeders don't need to worry too much about this situation, just wait for them to harden slowly. Don't pinch them hard when their shells are soft, and don't let them crawl where there are protrusions.
2. Increase light1. Reason: It is possible that the carapace of small tortoises is still soft after being born for a period of time because of lack of light, because ultraviolet rays in the sun can promote their synthesis of vitamin D3 and accelerate their absorption of calcium. If there is no light, the carapace will become soft.
2. Solution: Breeders should build a balcony for them to climb up and bask in the sun. If you can't receive natural light, you can choose to install a back lamp for them.
3. Calcium supplementation1. Reason: The soft shell of small Brazilian tortoises may also be due to lack of calcium, and they are at a critical stage of growth and development. If they don't have enough calcium in their bodies, they will have soft shells.
2. Solution: Breeders should usually feed them more foods with high calcium content, such as small fish and shrimp. They can also be fed cuttlefish bone meal, shrimp powder and calcium powder once a week.
