Before death, the state of the Brazilian tortoise is that its limbs droop, its eyes are dry, its shell will become soft, its head and feet will hang out of the shell, and it will not react when put into the water, and it will smell bad. The tortoise will not move when it is hibernating, so it is necessary to correctly judge whether the tortoise is hibernating or dead.

The skin of the Brazilian tortoise before its death is chapped. If there is no response when touching its limbs, tail or head with sharp objects, it means that the Brazilian tortoise is dead.

You can press the turtle shell, and the turtle shell becomes soft, which means death. You can also put the turtle in water and soak it in warm water for a period of time to see if it reacts, and see if its head and claws stick out. If it does, it is not dead.

Precautions for feeding Brazilian tortoises:

Under artificial feeding conditions, they like to eat animal food, such as fish, pork, animal viscera, mussels, snails, blood worms (chironomid larvae), filariasis (water worms), Tenebrio molitor (bread worms), fly maggots and so on.

It's best to feed fresh raw meat. After cooking, the meat becomes hard. Turtles don't like hard food. Brazilian tortoise likes shrimp best. In the case of extreme hunger, individual turtles will eat vegetables, rice, soft fruits and other plants, but it is rare. Young turtles basically only eat meat.
