When raising the Brazilian tortoise, there are many problems to pay attention to. If they are not carefully raised, they may die. Therefore, the breeding of Brazilian turtles is still relatively difficult. Novice breeders, in particular, may raise them for a short period of time before they die.
1. Containers: When raising Brazilian turtles, the first thing to pay attention to is to prepare suitable containers. The container needs to be large enough to provide enough space for the Brazilian turtle.
2. Water quality: Then we need to pay attention to the water quality. The Brazilian turtle also needs to live in the water environment. The water used can be tap water, but it can not be used immediately, but needs to be dried for several days before it can be used, so as to remove the chlorine.
3. Water level: When breeding, the water level also needs attention. The water level is adjusted to the shell of the Brazilian turtle, not too high. If the water level is too high, it will make it difficult for Brazilian turtles to swim up to the surface for air, and may even cause them to drown.
4. Feeding: Feeding is also an important step. Brazilian turtles are omnivorous, and there are many things that can be used as their food. Usually more common food is fish and shrimp, all kinds of meat, vegetables and special turtle feed, feeding time can be a reasonable mix. However, if they are fed meat, the amount should not be too much, and they should not be fed cooked meat or food with salt.
5. Water temperature: Pay attention to the water temperature in the process of breeding. In winter, when the temperature is lower, the Brazilian turtle will hibernate. However, during the period of hibernation, the water temperature should not be too low, at this time, the heating rod can be used to increase the temperature appropriately.
