1. When do tortoises usually shell Tortoises usually shell in spring or summer. There is no regularity in the shelling of this animal, some of which take off once a year, some of which do not take off for several years, and the shelling situation of different species is different. For example, Brazilian tortoises take off whole pieces, while other tortoises only drop a little at a time. Shelling means that it is growing, so at this time, we should pay attention to cleaning and hygiene, and at the same time ensure adequate nutrition, so that it can develop healthily.
2. What should turtle pay attention to when shelling1. Clean up in time: During shelling, turtle must keep the environment clean and sanitary, so the scales it takes off need to be cleaned up in time, and at the same time, pay attention to changing water to ensure its health. If it is not cleaned up in time, it may lead to the breeding of bacteria and make it sick.
2. Supplementing nutrition: If you want the tortoise's shell to develop well, you must pay attention to supplementing nutrition. At this time, you can feed more fish and shrimp to supplement calcium. In addition, we should pay attention to the collocation of feed, so that nutrition can be balanced. If it is not fed properly, its shell development will also be affected.
3. Avoid interference: During the shelling, the turtle must avoid interference, otherwise it may have stress reaction or prolong its shelling time, and don't help people, otherwise it may be hurt.
