Does Brazilian tortoise have pneumonia?

The tortoise can't sink into the water normally, but it floats on the water because of its weak constitution. I am too light to sink normally. Not a symptom of pneumonia ~! Even choking in the lungs is not ~! Don't make a random diagnosis. A while ago, the tortoise didn't eat or didn't eat very often. In winter, they don't rely on heating to raise food, but spend the winter hungry, and their physique drops, which will cause turtles to float.

Although pneumonia will float, it is not the main symptom. For example, if it is pneumonia, you can hear the strange sound made by the tortoise, which is the specific sound when breathing. Turtles often open their mouths. And there is mucus secretion in the mouth and nose, and there is white floc spit out from the mouth in the water. These are more typical symptoms than floating water, not just diagnosed ~! When you meet floating water, it means pneumonia. This is a joke. You are responsible for the answer. The lungs are even less likely to choke. The whole thing is irrelevant. The appearance of a small turtle means that the body is overdrawn and in poor health. This symptom has nothing to do with pneumonia. First check whether the turtle's eyes are bright and can be opened. If your eyes are fine, you don't have to worry too much about infectious diseases. Just keep the water clean every day.

Since turtles are floating, it is necessary to talk to the landlord about some unique experiences in raising strong turtles. The first is the water temperature, which affects everything of the tortoise, including its appetite, activity and physical fitness.

The turtle's eating can't be controlled by itself, but depends on the water temperature, which controls whether it eats or not. This is the common feature of all turtles, which is very different from warm-blooded mammals such as cats and dogs that eat when they are hungry. Furthermore, a reasonable diet is one aspect. First of all, don't choose cheap turtle food sold by vendors. Not every turtle can adapt. Miscellaneous pellet feed is not nutritious enough to arouse turtle's appetite. The temperature of water temperature is the most critical reason that affects the turtle's eating ~! If the water temperature can't reach the feeding standard, it won't eat even if it starved to death! This is the physiological characteristics of turtles. Only by mastering the water temperature can the soft-shelled turtle be raised well and strong.

Turtles need to be raised and fed at a suitable water temperature. Neither cold water nor hot water can be used. This is a key factor. It is forbidden to use hot water and warm water, which will kill the tortoise. Because supercooled water can't meet the standard of edible temperature, it won't be eaten with cold water. The water temperature of 22-25 degrees is just right. This is the best water temperature for turtles to eat. Water at this temperature feels like the water temperature when swimming in summer. But not warm water, but the feeling of cold water ~! But it feels neither hot nor cold, and it is very comfortable. Mix warm water with cold water and feed at this water temperature. The water level and quantity should be sufficient, and the minimum water level should not exceed. It's no good if the water level is too low. Turtles usually live, eat and excrete in water. Too low water level can't dilute excrement evenly, which will lead to a large number of bacteria breeding and easy to get sick.

Feeding fresh fry, shrimp, live shrimp and live breadworm are the most suitable foods for soft-shelled turtles, who like to eat them very much. Cut the small fish into small pieces and put them in with toothpicks to feed ~! Or put it in water and let it eat in front of it. For some turtles, it doesn't eat the whole fish directly in the water, but needs to be cut into several sections ~! The same is true for shrimp. Peel off the head and tail of the shrimp, cut it into small pieces, put it in water or feed it. Try not to feed turtles with the meat of domestic animals such as pig lean meat. There are many parasites in it and it is easy to get sick. There are also many shellfish parasites such as snails, and food parasites are very harmful to soft-shelled turtles.

Be sure to pay attention to some necessary knowledge ~! First, don't feed the tortoise salty food, such as salty shrimp, dried fish sausage and so on ~! ! After sodium chloride (salt) is ingested, it will cause edema and renal function damage. Turtle should definitely avoid salt intake ~! It's a little salty ~! Similarly, the rice, steamed bread and bread we usually eat are not suitable for turtles. Keeping a turtle is different from keeping a cat or a dog. It cannot adapt to what people eat every day.

Ensure the water quality is hygienic and eat food every day, otherwise the tortoise will die because of wrong feeding or eating. Many people think that turtles don't make trouble when they are hungry, and they don't bark when they are sick, so they are easy to raise. It doesn't matter if you don't eat You didn't have any feeding experience before, and finally the tortoise died of consumption. The tortoise is not an iron shell, it is also life, but it will not be as noisy as cats and dogs, let alone despise it because of silence.

The Brazilian tortoise should be kept in the water every day, and a floating platform should be set up to let it climb ashore to rest, instead of soaking in the water all the time. When it wants to come up, it will go ashore to bask in its back without manual manipulation. At ordinary times, the water level for breeding and feeding should at least exceed it, and there is no need to worry that the turtle will drown. Compared with the rivers in the natural environment, the water level in the turtle tank at home is many times shallower. It's no good if the water level is too low. Turtles usually excrete in water. Too low water level can't dilute the excrement evenly, which will cause a large number of bacteria to breed and easily get sick ~!

In the first two years of buying a turtle, it is impossible for the turtle to hibernate smoothly, which may easily lead to death. Even if you get through it, the same floating phenomenon will occur now. Therefore, in the winter when the weather is not very warm, if the water temperature cannot be guaranteed, the special heating rod for aquarium is a common necessary tool for raising small turtles, and it is also a necessary tool for wintering and after the temperature drops. It's completely different from a heating rod for boiling water. There are both flower and bird markets and aquarium markets. It is easy to find. The hot and cold water temperature is the most unfavorable to soft-shelled turtle, and it is very easy to get sick. However, you don't have to worry about the heating rod. When the heating rod is not used, it will start to cut off power, and the effect of constant temperature will not be achieved. Just leave the power on. When it reaches the temperature, it will automatically turn off the power, and when it reaches the specified temperature, it will automatically start to turn on the power for heating. Must be completely immersed in water, in the deep water area, so as to ensure the temperature control and safe use of the heating rod. In the future, the body length will be about 15cm when it grows up. Eat strong, it's cold in winter, and you can hibernate. If the house has heating, forget it. Don't take it outdoors either, or you'll freeze to death. Water turtles such as Brazilian turtles and grass turtles need to hibernate in the water. You can't hibernate. Hibernate in water, which is also their way in the natural environment, instead of hibernating on land.

May the tortoise of the landlord grow up healthily ~!
