The Brazilian red-eared turtle can be raised at home. As a pet turtle, it is a good choice. The Brazilian red-eared turtle is a relatively easy turtle species to raise, and they are more adaptable to the environment. Moreover, their prices are relatively low, so many people choose them as pets. However, if we want to make them grow faster and develop better, we need to pay attention to more problems, such as reasonable feeding, clean water quality and so on, which are more important aspects.
1. Reasonable feeding: Feeding has a great impact on the growth rate of the Brazilian red-eared turtle. If you want the Brazilian red-eared turtle to grow fast, you'd better feed it every day. Especially when the Brazilian red-eared turtle is relatively young, it can be fed twice a day. In addition, we should carefully choose the types of food, preferably with small fish, shrimp, meat and other nutritious food. In addition, you can also feed some turtle feed in moderation, because it contains some trace elements.
2. Suitable water temperature: Providing suitable water temperature can make the Brazilian red-eared turtle grow faster. If conditions permit, they can keep above 20 degrees, so that their appetite will be better.
3. Suitable water level: In addition, the water level must be kept suitable. The Brazilian red-eared turtle is a terrapin and cannot be raised dry. However, the water level should not be too high, otherwise it will be harmful to the growth and development of the Brazilian red-eared turtle. Generally, the water level can be slightly over the back of the turtle. But when they are young, they should be kept in shallow water to prevent drowning.
4. Basking in the sun every day: Basking in the sun every day is also helpful to the growth and development of the Brazilian red-eared turtle, because light can promote the absorption of calcium and other nutrients by the Brazilian red-eared turtle.
