The small Brazilian tortoise grows rapidly, so the demand for food is also relatively large, so the breeder can feed it every day, preferably twice a day. Its eating habits are miscellaneous, and there are many foods to choose from. However, in the young turtle period, it is mainly fed with meat, and it is difficult for it to digest meat that is thin and too fat.

Small tortoises need illumination to develop better, so it is best for breeders to take them out to bask in the sun every day, or make a platform in the container for them to climb up and bask in the sun by themselves. Sunbathing can not only promote metabolism and accelerate growth, but also greatly help calcium absorption and prevent diseases such as soft nail disease.

The water level of raising small Brazilian tortoises should not be too high. Although they are water tortoises, they breathe with their lungs, so it is easy to drown them if the water level is too high. Breeders can adjust the water level to a point below their carapace, so that they can breathe when they look up. In addition, prepare a place to go ashore in case it gets tired of swimming.

Little Brazilian tortoise stays in water most of the time. Because of this, the quality of water quality is particularly critical. Poor water quality can easily make it suffer from skin rot, white eye disease and other diseases, so it is necessary to change water regularly to maintain water quality. Usually, after each feeding, the water should be changed, usually all of it should be changed, and at the same time, it should be cleaned up.
