Tell us, what kind of water is good for raising Brazilian turtles?

Common sense of Brazilian tortoise

First of all, isolate the two, observe the tortoise that has been closing its eyes, touch the tortoise, and see if the tortoise can open its eyes by itself to see if its eyes are swollen. At the same time, observe whether the turtle has symptoms such as rotten skin and nails, mouth breathing, runny nose and so on. If there are no symptoms, don't take medicine for the time being, and observe in isolation.

Container for raising turtles: Now the equipment for raising turtles is more advanced. Generally made of plastic or glass, some are equipped with gentle slopes, along which turtles can climb to the "shore" to bask in the sun. Some containers are decorated with decorations, but these ordinary decorations may kill Brazilian turtles. Because some decorations will get stuck when turtles pass by, such as fake crocodiles. The height of the water should ensure that all turtles are not in deep water. In shallow water, turtles can stick their heads out of the water. They should also be able to swim and leave the water.

Temperature control: Turtles are hibernating animals. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will move slowly, sometimes it will not move for several days, and you think it is dead. At present, most people keep turtles indoors If there is heating in the room, turtles rarely hibernate. In addition, the nutrition of turtles raised at home can't keep up, and they can keep alive in winter. It is best to keep the temperature at 18~22 degrees, which is the turtle's favorite temperature range and its growth rate is relatively fast.

Feeding: Brazilian tortoise is an omnivore, mainly eating meat. The food is mainly small fish (raw), shrimp (raw) and shredded lean meat (raw). Don't feed turtle food, which is similar to instant noodles eaten by human beings. However, it should be noted that the food should not go bad, and the inedible dead fish should be fished out as soon as possible, and the food should be diversified and mixed with meat. Some little turtles don't eat when they buy them. At this time, you should put food in their mouths, and slowly they will learn.

Surrounding environment: The tortoise is timid by nature, so it always carries its back shell to protect itself. If it is in danger, it will shrink back. If you annoy it, don't blame it for being rude (the tortoise bites you). In order to make your turtle more energetic, the environment around the turtle should be as quiet as possible. If there are cats and dogs at home, be sure to keep them away from turtles. Although they don't eat turtles, they like to play with them. The turtles don't eat for a few days after being scared.

Take preventive measures: sterilization is the main way to prevent diseases. You should change water frequently, and the frequency of changing water should be kept at about 2 days. When you are busy, you can also change the water once every 4 to 5 days, and only change half of the water at a time, which can protect the ecological balance of bacteria. The most common disease of turtles is enteritis. Turtles have no vitality, eat less and have bad stools. Change the water frequently, keep the food clean and not spoiled, and let it rest for a few days.
