Brazil turtles are more common now, because they are much more convenient to keep than other pets, so they have become one of the pets people like to keep. Maybe many people don't know whether to raise amphibians in dry or in water, so sometimes incorrect feeding methods lead to the death of tortoises, so we need to understand the breeding methods of Brazilian tortoises when we sample the tortoises. , so that we can raise them more handy.

1. Should Brazilian turtles be raised in water?

Since the Brazilian tortoise is a water turtle, long-term dry feeding will cause it to dehydrate and die. In addition, the Brazilian tortoise feeds entirely in water; so the Brazilian tortoise should be raised in water. However, this does not mean that the tortoise cannot be dry-raised, but generally dry-raising is because the tortoise is infected with bacteria and cannot be soaked in water. Raise the tortoise, unless the tortoise has rotten nails or white eyes, etc., and must be kept dry). If the turtle body is fragile, be cautious or take semi-dry support (soak in water every day, and then dry it); it is worth noting that if the turtle is dry, it should also take a bath regularly, at least 3 times a day for 30 minutes each time; at the same time, If you see the sunken eyes of the tortoise in dry feeding, it is seriously dehydrated. At this time, you should stop dry feeding immediately!

Second, how much water should you put in the tortoise to raise it

Many owners have seen turtles choking to death on the Internet, and they think that Brazilian turtles should be raised in shallow water, but this is not entirely true. Brazilian turtles are masters in the water, and no matter how deep the water is, they will not choke; but despite this, we must strictly control the water level, because many turtles love to play when they are raised together; sometimes some turtles are knocked over. Come here, if the water level is too deep at this time, it may overturn and drown. Generally speaking, each hatchling should have five liters of water, and the water depth should not exceed the turtle's body length, so that the turtle's feet can rest on the ground when it comes to the surface to breathe. At the same time, it is also necessary to make or buy a basking platform for them with bricks and stone chips, so that the turtles can bask their backs. To create an ideal environment, a pair of grown tortoises needs a range of at least 100 liters of water. A tank that is too small will quickly become fat and sluggish, and if it falls into the water on all fours, it will drown because it cannot roll over.
