. The process of shedding is called changing its shell, because it will grow up little by little. The original tortoise shell will limit its development, so it will gradually change into a new one, thus completing its growth. Shelling time is not fixed, if short, it only takes a few days, if long, it may take several months, which is mainly related to the feeding situation, but also affected by the temperature. In addition, when injured or lack of water, the phenomenon of shelling will also occur.
should be done during the shelling period? 1. Clean up in time: During the shelling period, the tortoise must keep the environment clean and hygienic. Therefore, the scales it takes off need to be cleaned out in time. At the same time, attention should be paid to changing water to ensure its health. If it is not cleaned up in time, it may lead to the growth of bacteria, thus making it sick.
2. Supplement nutrition: If you want the shell of the tortoise to develop well, you must pay attention to supplement nutrition. At this time, you can feed more fish and shrimp to supplement calcium. In addition, we should also pay attention to the combination of feed, so that nutrition can be balanced. If it is not fed properly, its shell development will also be affected.
3. Avoid interference: The tortoise must avoid being disturbed during shelling, otherwise it may have a stress reaction, or prolong the time of shelling, and do not need human help, otherwise it is likely to hurt it.
