First of all, the depth of water, if simply put in a jar, should not exceed the turtle's back, otherwise it will increase the turtle's physical burden. If you want him to swim in deep water, you must have fixed land in the water tank. Note that it is fixed land! Don't use floating islands and the like, and don't use too small an area, so that the turtle has a place to rest and sleep. The floating island is not used because it will flutter, and the little turtle is likely to drown due to exhaustion.

Try not to put sand or stones in the tank, just keep it clean, because dirty things (especially food scraps) can easily get stuck in the cracks of sand or stones, which will easily lead to the deterioration of water quality for a long time. Don't use those sand stones unless you always have time to clean them up.

Change the water every day, basically feed it every day, which just throws away the food residue together. The water quality of soft-shelled turtle is very important, otherwise it will cause skin ulceration or white eyes. It is best to leave the water for a few days to release chlorine. Change water more in hot summer, twice a day, once in the morning and once after feeding.

Put it anywhere, the requirements are not high, but the temperature should be basically constant, and it should not be hot and cold, so that the Brazilian turtle is prone to pneumonia (don't put it under the faucet, don't blow air conditioning on it). When the weather is fine, you can take it out to bask in the sun. It won't take long. Don't use it in midsummer, you'll get sunburned.

Just let it sleep in the water, shallow and without claws. You can also pour out the water at night, dry it and sleep, and add water the next morning.

Food must be put in water. Don't feed it, it has no nutrition, and you will soon find that your turtle doesn't like it at all. Usually give him eat small fish, shrimp (shrimp shells should not be fed as much as possible, so they will not be digested), red blood worms and the like. If your turtle is not picky about food, you can try to feed vegetables and fruits, but … Anyway, my turtle has a big mouth and never likes vegetarianism … You can also give him snail meat, but don't eat too much, it will get to his mouth. Don't feed pork, especially fat pork, you will be blind. Do not feed cooked food. Don't feed too much. The Brazilian tortoise is hungry, but it will die. Just feed it once every two days, and you can feed it every day in summer.

The place to live really doesn't need any decoration, just a little water in the jar. If you must decorate, you can put a flat stone in the water tank as land (provided it is convenient to climb up and down), and put a model tree or model umbrella on it, so that you can also shade the sun when you are in the sun.

Anyway, the most important thing to raise a Brazilian tortoise is three points: first, water quality, second, constant temperature, and third, don't give him a lot of food just for fun. Many turtles don't know if they are full, so they eat themselves to death. ...
