How old is this turtle? What kind? How to raise it?
This is a Brazilian tortoise. About three or four years old.

Attention should be paid to raising Brazilian turtles in spring: after a long hibernation period, Brazilian turtles begin to enter the growth period in spring. In the meantime, we should pay attention to:

First, let the Brazilian tortoise bask in the sun as much as possible, which will help the tortoise increase its appetite; And use sunlight and ultraviolet rays to sterilize, reduce diseases and achieve prevention first; Increasing the light can also add calcium to the turtle, and the color of the turtle will be more vivid.

The second is to feed nutritious food, such as raw fish, shrimp, snails, earthworms, worms, worms, lean meat and other foods. Small turtles should carefully cut small fish and shrimp before feeding, and can feed them with tweezers. Don't feed cooked lean meat, fat meat and other indigestible foods, otherwise the tortoise will get sick. Try to let the tortoise eat more during the growing period and let the tortoise grow fast.

The third is to keep the turtle tank clean and sanitary, and change water frequently. Just put the water on the turtle's back.

Attention should be paid to raising Brazilian tortoises in summer: Brazilian tortoises are in the peak period and high temperature period from June to August in summer. The higher the temperature, the faster the turtle grows. Attention should be paid to this period:

First, do a good job of heatstroke prevention and put the turtle in the shade. Don't expose turtles to direct sunlight. If exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the turtle will be unbearable and may get sick.

Second, the turtle grows fast, so the demand for food is great. Feed nutritious food, such as raw small fish, shrimp, snails, earthworms, insects, lean meat and other foods, but not cooked lean meat and fat meat, otherwise the turtle will get sick. In this period, try to let turtles eat more, so that turtles can grow fast.

Third, turtles eat more and pull more, and change the water before eating every day. Because Brazilian tortoises eat in water, they should change water before eating, so that the water they drink when eating is more hygienic. Change the water frequently and keep the turtle tank clean.

The fourth is to increase the activity of turtles. If conditions permit, turtles can crawl more and enhance their resistance. In the meantime, some turtles have to lay eggs, so that young turtles can hatch.
