When breeding Brazilian turtles, their shells are prone to problems. Therefore, in the process of breeding, we can regularly check whether their shells are abnormal. For example, if their dorsal shell is relatively soft or the joints of their limbs are very large, then measures should be taken. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be that the Brazilian tortoise has been in the water for too long, or that it has not been exposed to light for a long time. In addition, if you do not pay attention to the type of food you feed, it may also be caused by calcium deficiency in Brazilian turtles.
If the shell of the Brazilian turtle is soft, it needs to be adjusted according to the specific reasons. If it is caused by long-term soaking in water, they can be properly taken out of the container and stay on the ground for a period of time, in addition, the water level also needs special attention, not too high.
If it is caused by lack of light, then they need to be provided with several hours of sunlight every day, if the light is not particularly strong, they can not be blocked. If the sunlight is insufficient, fluorescent lamps can also be used to supplement the light. In the container for breeding them, it is better to set up a platform higher than the water surface for Brazilian turtles to dry their nails. If the lack of nutrition, then after the breeding process will have to pay special attention to the problem of feeding, in addition to feeding every day, but also need to pay attention to the type of food, need to add some substances in the usual feeding food, such as calcium powder, shell powder and some complex vitamins and so on, these substances are conducive to the recovery of the hardness of the shell of the Brazilian turtle.
