To breed the Brazilian tortoise, attention should be paid to the feeding problem. The first is the frequency of feeding. In general, daily feeding is recommended to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of the Brazilian tortoise. However, the specific feeding frequency is related to the size of the Brazilian turtle, and the feeding frequency is different in different stages of the development of the Brazilian turtle.
For example, if the Brazilian turtle is relatively young, its body length is less than 3 centimeters, at this time, because their growth and development speed is the fastest, feeding can be frequent, twice a day. When the body length of the Brazilian turtle grows to about 5 centimeters, it can be fed once a day, but the feeding amount needs to be increased accordingly. Then, when the Brazilian turtle is an adult, it can be fed once a day or once every two days, but the amount of feeding should also be increased appropriately.
In addition to paying attention to the frequency of feeding, you also have to pay attention to the type of food. Although Brazilian turtles are omnivorous and can eat any food, it is best to choose the food that is most beneficial to their growth. The most nutritious food is animal food, such as small fish, shrimp, mealworms, etc., and if there is meat at home, it can also be properly fed. Animal feed can be sterilized and then cut into small pieces for feeding. In addition to this part of the feed, we should also pay attention to the combination of some other foods, such as vegetables, cereals and so on, with a reasonable combination of food types, which is beneficial to their development and health. Moreover, if you are busy at ordinary times, you can also feed turtles with appropriate feed.
