In breeding, the landlord should know that Brazilian turtles are standard water turtles, but it is better to raise them in deep water, so they can swim in deep water and live a healthy and happy life. At the same time, enter the water before eating. The water level must be deep enough for it to eat normally. Otherwise, even if he starved to death, he wouldn't eat at all. He needs to rely on the resistance of water to swallow food, unlike people, even without water, he can swallow by throat muscles ~! He can't eat without water. There are many sayings on the Internet that children misunderstand each other. The landlord must not raise children in shallow water, even if the water level is extremely low, it has not completely crossed the turtle shell. This is very bad for turtles and prone to problems. Brazilian tortoise is a kind of water turtle. Even the daily water level of 20 cm is no problem for it. For those turtles who live in lakes and rivers, the water level is dozens of times higher than that raised at home, and there is at least a few meters high water level. They all live well without any problems. They will swim happily in the water, live a healthy life and live a happy life. On the contrary, if the water level is low, it will easily cause their impatience. It will start to climb the jar without opening its mouth to eat, and it will consume great physical strength every day. Consume more and more every day, and your body is getting weaker and weaker. When it is tired of climbing, it will lie on the jar and close its eyes and doze off. It seems that I have no energy and appetite, and I will get sick and have problems. Finally, it will starve to death. Long-term shallow water feeding can also easily lead to eye diseases. There was no water in the eyes for a long time, which caused the tortoise to temporarily keep its eyes closed. Many people mistakenly think that they are suffering from eye diseases. Turtles often scratch their eyes with their claws, which is caused by your feeding mistakes. If you don't feed it correctly in time, you will suffer from eye diseases. Most of these phenomena are typical reactions before eye infection. The water level of daily feeding depends on whether it eats or not. Deep water feeding is best for it ~!
On weekdays, fresh fish and shrimp are the main products. Need fresh live shrimp, peel off the head and tail shrimp, or eat live fry and slaughter them to ensure freshness. If it is frozen shrimp in the supermarket, it must be thawed to room temperature before feeding, otherwise it will eat bad stomach and diarrhea and cause intestinal diseases. Do not feed lean pork, poultry, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and animal livers, shellfish, snails, scallops, etc. These are the most pathogenic parasites, and eating too much is easy to get intestinal diseases ~! Besides, we humans can't feed cooked food, cooked meat and cooked vegetables, such as rice, steamed bread, jiaozi, stir-fry and fried rice. And all salty food can't be fed, even with a little salt. Once the tortoise ingests too much salt, it will cause edema of its own body and damage to renal function, with serious consequences ~! Like turtle food, some turtles don't like it and can't arouse their appetite, so they need other fresh fish and shrimp meat to lure them. If some turtles like it, they should choose high-quality turtle food instead of inferior turtle food provided by merchants. If you don't eat more, the turtle's daily nutrition should be rich and sufficient ~! You can raise a turtle later and mix some turtle food with it. Don't try to feed it with curiosity every day. If you feed it, it will definitely eat, but if you feed it too much, it will easily cause problems. Don't just feed it all the food it can't adapt to ~!
Brazil doesn't eat, and the water temperature is also very important. In the cold winter, at the temperature of 10 degrees, it will refuse to eat and move. At this time, if it wants to eat with its mouth open, it should be raised and fed in a warm way. Heating rods are very suitable for winter. Even when the weather is very cold, they are the best way to make small turtles and turtles with weak systems spend the winter smoothly. After you buy a heating rod, you can only play its temperature control role by putting it in deep water. Just keep the power on when you use it. Don't pull it often. When the temperature is lower than the specified temperature, it will automatically heat up. Very convenient. Before use, set a constant temperature of about 25 degrees and put it in deep water. When it is heated to a water temperature of 25 degrees, it will automatically cut off the power and you can feed it. When buying heating rods, you should choose good quality and durability, and don't choose inferior ones for cheap. Not only will it leak electricity, but it will also explode easily, which will do great harm to the injured tortoise ~!
The water temperature can't meet the standard of the temperature it eats, so it won't eat with its mouth open. Because of the low temperature, it will begin to refuse to eat and move, enter physical exhaustion, and fall into a state of closing its eyes and falling asleep. The body itself consumes more and more every day, getting weaker and weaker, and it is easy to get sick. Even in the end, I can't continue to hibernate and wake up because of physical exhaustion. Therefore, turtles with small turtles and weak systems are not suitable for hibernation, and heating is more suitable ~! In the future, you can wait for the tortoise to hibernate.
For example, in February, some areas began to pick up slowly, and turtles began to eat. However, some areas are still very cold, and turtles still don't open their mouths to eat, so they need to be kept warm for the winter. When the temperature rises in spring, there is no need for heating rods. The real hibernation should be carried out in a humid environment, or you will freeze to death if you hibernate for so long. It certainly won't eat when the temperature is low in winter, but don't think that it will hibernate without eating. This is a wrong idea. Because of the low temperature in winter, the tortoise refused to eat or move at this temperature. It gradually enters a state of physical exhaustion, falls into a state of drowsiness with eyes closed, and its body itself consumes more and more day by day, becoming weaker and weaker, and it is easy to wake up and want to crawl around looking for something to eat. In this case, it is not really hibernating, but really hibernating. You should feed it well before winter, so that it has enough fat for hibernation consumption ~! Because hibernation is a state of consuming physical strength, if there is not enough energy consumption, there is a certain risk, and physical strength will be overdrawn, and you will not be able to wake up after hibernation. Therefore, it is not recommended that small turtles and turtles in poor health hibernate. For example, adult turtles who are physically strong on weekdays can hibernate. Even if you don't eat much before hibernation and have a lot of fat, you can have the physical strength to hibernate until spring and wake up naturally ~! The survival rate is relatively high.
Turtles that go into hibernation will fall into deep sleep and will not wake up easily ~! And the indoor water temperature must reach its hibernation temperature to hibernate. Turtles like the landlord don't hibernate, and small turtles are not suitable for hibernation, which has certain risks and their own fat is not enough. During hibernation, they will also be unable to survive because of physical exhaustion until they wake up from hibernation. Will be captured alive ~! Feed it a little more every day. When it grows up, the tortoise is very strong and healthy. Usually when you are not very sick, you can hibernate, so you can rely on the food you have fed before and have physical support. It doesn't matter even if the fat is used up. Its own fat is enough, and hibernation doesn't matter ~! The little turtle, or the turtle with weak constitution, is different, and the survival rate is very low ~!
When the tortoise is strong, it can hibernate. You just need to feed it well before preparing for winter, so that it can store enough fat for its whole hibernation. Stop eating before hibernation 1 week, let it discharge all the feces in the body and must be cleaned up. Don't leave feces in its intestines, it will cause obstruction. During hibernation, you should also ensure that the water quality is clean. At first, there may be feces in the water. At this time, the water will be changed immediately. After ensuring that there is no feces in the water for the next few days, you can change the water 2-3 times a week. Put water in the feeding container, the water level should not be over at all, just over it ~! But you must not just put a little water, or even keep it completely dry ~! This is extremely wrong! When you put it into the water while hibernating, it will sink to the bottom and start hibernating. When you breathe, it will float to the surface to breathe. Put it in a quiet place, don't disturb it, let it spend the winter smoothly ~
In addition to daily feeding and a good life, you should also give him more sunshine and turtle shells when the sun is shining. Put it in a sunny place and let it dry for half an hour. At the same time, your container should also be kept in a rectangular fish tank or a large plastic sorting box. The bigger the space, the better. It will be more suitable for turtles. It will also like this living environment, and the water level should be enough to completely immerse it, which is several times larger than the turtle shell.
Feeding should also be arranged in a good environment. It is best to feed it with a rectangular fish tank or a large rectangular plastic sorting box in the supermarket. This will provide a large activity space and ensure a high water level every day. For turtles, you can live a better and happier life ~ instead of using a round goldfish bowl or bucket, it really doesn't work. You can make do with a big face. The round container will be visually impaired for the tortoise and will always think about it. You don't need to decorate the water beautifully, just be simple and practical ~! Aquatic plants, yellow sand, colored stones, rockeries and other decorations. It will only pollute the water, which is harmful and useless. Just prepare a special floating platform for the turtle, buy it and put it in the water, so that it can climb up and down by itself without human intervention if it wants to go ashore to rest or sunbathe its back.
Keep the water clean every day. If you are worried about water quality, you can go to the aquarium market to buy water quality stabilizers ~! It can also be raised with chlorinated tap water or boiled in cold water. If possible, you can prepare a filter, which is very convenient. Chlorination of tap water, don't just put the water in a basin to dry for a few days, it's all dust-accumulating bacteria, and it's not advisable to give it to turtles after the water deteriorates ~! You can put it in a clean bottle to dry for about half an hour before using it, so you don't have to worry about the water quality ~ You can also choose to feed it in the sun, but you should change it with new water in time after feeding and defecation to ensure the water quality is clean. Feeding containers should also be cleaned with detergent every day, and supermarkets should be disinfected with disinfectant 2-3 times a week. It is very important to keep the water clean every day ~! This can avoid some common diseases such as tortoise shell infection, skin diseases, eye diseases and so on. Once an abnormality is found, we must find out the problem, then suppress the condition in time and treat it correctly as soon as possible. Don't tease turtles all the time if you have nothing to do on weekdays. It was fun. Many times, bacteria are transmitted to turtles in this way, especially when you have a cold and are sick at home. Sneezing can also be contagious, which will be more troublesome ~!
When the temperature rises slowly, there is no need for a heating rod. Heating rods are only suitable for use in winter, even when the weather is very cold. Spring and summer are completely unnecessary ~! At this time, it will eat and start to move, and the water level is still the same. It is more suitable to raise in deep water ~! In order to ensure the clean water quality every day, tap water must be dechlorinated. Chlorine in tap water is not good for turtles. You can also use boiled tap water and let it cool, which is cool and white ~! Be sure to cool it down, don't use warm water, warm water will accelerate its physical consumption and death ~! Don't use mineral water, there are many minerals, just use cold boiled water. Of course, you should feed it every day. Don't feed irregularly for a long time, it will cause anorexia.
Turtles that eat more every day grow faster. Pay attention to the water quality and water level, soft-shelled turtle is not easy to get sick, and it is easy to cause various diseases only if it is raised improperly ~! On weekdays, it is necessary to raise correctly, the water level should be deep enough, the food should be full of nutrition, the body should be healthy and not often sick, and life should be happy in order to grow healthily and sturdily ~!
