Matters needing attention in breeding Brazilian tortoise
1, water level
The Brazilian turtle is a water turtle, and the water level does not need to be too deep, but it should be over the back. If the turtle shell is partly in the water and partly exposed to the air for a long time, it will easily lead to abnormal turtle shell, which will not only affect the appearance, but also affect the normal growth of the turtle.
Step 2: Feeding
Don't feed the Brazilian turtle too often, because the turtle is slow to digest, just feed it once every two days, and the feeding amount is about the size of its head now. It is best to feed small fish and shrimp, or lean broilers.
3. Don't touch too much.
Brazilian tortoises can be seen, but it is not suitable to bring them out often, because turtles are timid and often touch them manually, which will scare them.
