In summer, the temperature is high, and the turtle has a fast metabolism, so it can be fed once a day, but it is generally recommended to feed it every other day, because the turtle does not need to be fed too often and is an animal with a slow metabolism. Of course, if you are busy, it is no problem to feed them once every few days. They are very hungry animals. Even if they travel, as long as they ensure adequate water supply, they will not eat for half a month. It's just a little unfair to your precious turtle. 10 Autumn comes, and turtles don't eat much. They only eat once every few days until they hibernate in winter and stop eating.
Generally speaking, the turtle's food intake is the size of its head and neck, but turtles can eat well. Because it may take them several days to find food in the wild, they can eat a lot at a time in case they don't need food in the future, so turtles eat a lot. I advise you not to give in. Eating too much is bad for your health and will affect your life span.
Question 2: How often do Brazilian tortoises eat? Brazilian tortoise has an active life habit, likes to live in water, is not afraid of people and has strong adaptability to the environment. The suitable water temperature for growth is 20-32℃, and the optimum water temperature for growth is 25-30℃. When the temperature is lower than 20℃, the food intake decreases and the activity is less; When the temperature is lower than 65438 05℃, the feeding is basically stopped; The activity decreased obviously below 10℃, and it was in a semi-dormant state. The Brazilian tortoise is an omnivorous turtle, which mainly eats meat in artificial culture, especially in the larval and larval stages, mainly eat small fish, shrimp, lean meat of animals and so on. In the adult stage, you can also eat plant feed (bananas, fruits, etc. ) and workers compound feed. Brazilian tortoises eat a lot and grow faster than turtles. Generally, young turtles hatched from July to September can reach an average of 25-40 grams before overwintering in that year, more than 200 grams of turtles can be cultivated in the next year, and more than 400 grams of commercial turtles can be cultivated in the third year. However, the growth rate of male and female Brazilian tortoises is different, and the latter is obviously faster than the former.
Newly bought soft-shelled turtles generally have weak eating ability and will not prey on live food. They need you to feed them a little bit and be patient when feeding them. Cut the fresh meat into mung bean size, clamp it with tweezers and slowly reach the front of the turtle's nose. It will smell carefully before eating, and sometimes the response is slow, so you can't rest assured. Try it a few more times and it will be perfect. Generally, you can feed a cigarette butt that much meat at a time. When you are young, you should feed it three or four times a week, so that it can adapt to the environment and grow rapidly. Because it will go to sleep when it is hungry for a long time, and the turtle that is too young often doesn't wake up when it sleeps, so you should feed it more to prevent it from going to sleep. When it grows bigger than a matchbox, it usually eats it by itself. At this time, you can put some small fish and shrimp in the water for it to practice hunting, not too much, otherwise it will kill a lot but won't eat, so it only takes one day at most. Feeding meat is the same, don't waste it, and don't feed it as much as possible, otherwise it will go bad. My turtle used to tilt its head and limbs back, which was very funny, and even vomited several times, showing how worthless the turtle is! Overfeeding will make turtles grow too fast. It's not fun and cute when it grows up, unless you save it for eating, hehe! I have a friend who bought a turtle with me. I ended up feeding too much. In less than two years, it grew to the size of a bowl. All the patterns on my body are gone, which is very ugly. It also makes a gasping sound, like a dinosaur. When I was that big, I could eat a basin of loach in a week, which shows its horror. So when I grow up, I can feed it once a week. It's best to feed some small fish to make its shell grow harder.
Question 3: How often does the baby Brazilian tortoise eat? Turtles get edema when they eat salty food.
So all cooked and salty things can't be fed! !
I feed pork to my turtle. They are raw from lean meat.
Cut it into small pieces. Well, it's better to be able to swallow it in one gulp.
Occasionally change to fish and shrimp. If you feed shrimp, you should remove the shell of the shrimp head before feeding it.
The tortoise should remove the shrimp shell and cut it into small pieces to feed.
If you feed fish, you should feed freshwater fish.
Don't eat too much at every meal.
Turtles will swell up if they eat too much.
Small turtles are fed once every 1 day, and big turtles are fed once every two days.
It's enough to feed it that big every time.
When I feed my turtles, I put them in another basin filled with water.
Water can flow over the turtle's back.
At this point, replace the water in the original water tank.
Put it back in the tank after use, so as to ensure the water quality.
But sometimes I put it back in the jar after eating for 30 minutes without pulling it. Don't soak in dirty water for too long.
Don't raise turtles directly with tap water.
Tap water must be dried for 2 days before cold boiled water can be used directly.
There are also red nematodes, which should be fed as little as possible. Fren turtle loves it.
But the skin of the red nematode is too hard for it to digest.
When my turtle eats that, it will be inconvenient for three days.
Question 4: How often and how much does the tortoise eat? This is a China grass turtle.
Feeding it once a day in summer is enough for it to eat food the size of a human head.
It eats too much (but moderation is best)
1. Never use tap water to raise turtles. If you want to use tap water, you should dry it in the sun for 2-3 days, or precipitate it, and then feed it with the upper water. If you are in trouble, you can buy it mineral water (as I am now)
2. Turtle tank:
The more natural the better. You don't have to change it all the time to buy a vat, and the turtles can move with confidence. The cylinder wall is high to prevent it from climbing out. There is water and land. The water depth is three times the thickness of turtle shell. Sand and rain stones can be thrown at the bottom of the water, and several aquatic plants can be planted. Raise a few more small fish. Change the land. Buy a turtle tank, and there will be stairs and ground. If it is an ordinary fish tank, put a big stone. Put it where the sun can shine. This is the simplest way to put it. If possible, you can buy an ultraviolet lamp, put it 30 cm away from the turtle box and irradiate it for 15-20 minutes every day. Buy a heating rod when it is cold and the temperature is low, and the temperature is 25 degrees.
3. Water quality:
If you are diligent, you'd better change the washing sand every day. If you are lazy, buy a filtering system. Even so, change it once a week. Changing water frequently is very important for turtles. Add a little salt to the new water. Not too cold. Otherwise, they will get many diseases.
4. Food:
Turtles are omnivores, and young people love meat. Can feed small fish, shrimp, pig liver, red worms, cockroaches and so on. Turtles usually eat in the water. Turtles love vegetarianism when they are old. They will eat aquatic plants. You can feed some vegetables. Too lazy to fiddle with those messy things, just buy a box of turtle food and eat it slowly. High-quality soft-shelled turtle food is rich in calcium, protein, fiber, fat, vitamins A, B 12, C, D3, E, and it is nutritious, so it is definitely not very delicious. Turtles must think so, too. Feeding in moderation, the turtle's digestive system is not very good. The tortoise is too small to feed too big shrimp, etc. Chop it up. When they finished eating, they fished out the leftover food.
5, basking in the sun:
When it is warm, you can put it in the sun 15 minutes or so. Be careful not to be exposed to the sun! The sunshine is best at 90: 00 in the morning and at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Regular exposure to the sun can supplement calcium and kill bacteria in the cracks of its shell.
6. Security:
If there are cats and dogs at home, we should add barbed wire to the turtle tank. Many turtles died at the hands of cats and dogs. The turtle tank is too high for them to climb out. Be careful not to step on the stone in the jar and you won't get out. Pay attention to give them a bath every day for a certain period of time. Prevent drought death. Be careful not to let them fall off when they climb high. Especially friends who keep turtles on the balcony, don't let the turtles climb out and fall downstairs! Very dangerous!
7. Hibernation:
Hibernation is very important for turtles. When the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it will probably end at 10 and start in March next year. Newborn turtles had better not hibernate in the first year, and sickly turtles had better not hibernate.
1. Insist on clearing the stomach: start supplementing nutrition in September, and stick to it. Stop feeding about two weeks before hibernation, and soak in warm water for defecation in the last three or four days to empty the intestines. All the above are necessary, otherwise the food left in the intestine will ferment and cause their stomach wall and intestine to rupture and die.
② Hibernation box layout: Use a large plastic storage box covered with thick soil. They will come in by themselves. Leave it for a few days and spray some water on the soil to keep it moist. 10- 13 degrees is the best hibernation temperature. Don't put it in the open air, it will freeze to death below 8 degrees. It is best to put it in the corner of the balcony. Let the temperature drop slowly, and don't let them suddenly feel cold.
③ Observe their situation at any time. Don't forget them! When the weather is warm, take the turtle out and put it back in its original place. Don't feed them for three days. Start feeding on the fourth or fifth day. They must have lost weight. Give them more food and make up for it. Get well as soon as possible Turtles that hibernate smoothly can give birth to babies.
8. Don't sleep:
Young turtles, weak turtles and turtles bought during hibernation should not be allowed to hibernate. Because they don't do intestinal cleaning before hibernation.
(1), water and horizontal temperature columns are necessary. About 25 degrees.
2. If the room temperature is around 25 degrees, it can be dried. But you need to take a hot bath every day. Give them something to eat in the bath.
It is best to eat fresh shredded pork or small fish and shrimp in winter. In order to maintain physical strength.

Question 5: How long does it take for the baby Brazilian tortoise to eat? How much to feed at a time? Now I'll tell you the key to raising turtles: this is a summary of my 10 years of experience in raising turtles, not a long story downloaded from the internet. It may be helpful for you to raise turtles.
For example, the red-eared Brazilian turtle is a typical water turtle. Feeding: nutritious foods such as small fish, shrimp, screws, raw meat and refined meat. The little turtle wants to cut raw fish and shrimp. Feed them in pieces. Lean meat, fat meat and indigestible food that cannot be cooked. Otherwise, you will get indigestion and get sick. For example, the Brazilian tortoise has two periods in a year: one is the growth period, and the temperature is above 15 degrees, which is about 5- 10 months. This period is the time for the tortoise to grow. This needs to give the turtle a comfortable home. I don't know where you put it. If you keep it in the patio, you can make a glass jar according to the size of the turtle, and the height is 12- 15 cm. Put a brick or a square stone inside and outside the jar to let the tortoise in and out freely. When it needs to bask in the sun, it will climb on the stone and bask motionless, which is very comfortable. When the weather is too hot, it will climb into the shade to enjoy the cool, so happy. When it needs to drink water, it will crawl in and go in and out freely. This living environment is not much different from the wild. Very adapted to the life of turtles. But pay attention to changing water frequently. If you keep a turtle in your room, it won't be so comfortable. The second is the hibernation period, about11-April, when the temperature is below 15 degrees, turtles gradually stop eating and begin to enter the hibernation period. You can't leave the water during hibernation, otherwise you will get sick and dehydrate and die. When entering hibernation, the room temperature should not be too high, and 0-5 degrees is the most suitable, so that turtles will be less active and reduce physical consumption. If the temperature is too high, the tortoise will keep crawling and consume a lot of physical strength, which is not good for the tortoise. The tortoise should be put in a jar with water for the winter. There should not be too much water. Just put the water on the tortoise's back. You can also put a square brick or stone in the jar. Turtles can climb up when they want to bask in the sun. Don't freeze the water with ice, or the Brazilian tortoise will freeze to death. You can move the turtle tank indoors and put it in a place with 1-2 hours of sunshine, which can sterilize it. As long as this is done, there is generally no problem in winter. Pay attention to keeping the room temperature above zero, so you can spend the winter safely. I raise and lay eggs like this every year. In 2006, I laid eggs three times, once every 20 days, about 15 eggs at a time, and * * * laid more than 40 eggs.
Attention should be paid to breeding Brazilian turtles in spring: in spring, Brazilian turtles begin to enter the growth period after a long hibernation period. During this period, 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. Second, feed nutritious food, such as raw fish, shrimp, screws, earthworms, insects, worms, lean meat and other foods. Don't feed indigestible foods such as cooked lean meat and fat meat, or the tortoise will get sick. Try to let the tortoise eat more during the growing period and let the tortoise grow faster. The third is to keep the turtle tank clean and sanitary, and change water frequently.
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. During this period, we should pay attention to: First, do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling, and put the turtle in a cool place, so as not to let the turtle be exposed 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.
Question 6: How often do Brazilian tortoises feed? If you have time, you can feed it once every two or three days.
As for what you said, it is no problem to feed only on Saturday. Turtles are resistant to osmium, so it is possible to eat it once a month in the wild. After entering the autumn, you can increase the amount of food you feed.
Like your turtle, feeding lean meat the size of your thumb at a time is almost enough. Chinemys reevesii doesn't know how big the plate is (big or small), so he can add some by himself. By the way, turtles can't feed too much at a time. Fish, shrimp, lean meat and clams are all acceptable. The food should not be too single. Also, remember to remove the hard thorns. At the same time, don't feed fat or foods with high salt content. My old turtle is fed with live loach and small fish, and the turtle can eat by itself.
PS: It's the first time I heard that people are recognized by feeding turtles.
Suggest trying to throw food in, and then people will leave. Brazilian tortoises are never picky eaters. At least my old turtle eats a lot.
Question 7: How often does the little turtle feed? Hey, how much is it? In particular, small turtles use special feed; Older turtles can make use of the shrimp and lean meat we eat. 1, just two at a time. Soft-shelled turtles usually start eating in mid-April every year and stop eating at the beginning of 10. It is important to note that feeding must be carried out in water. Generally, water can reach the edge of the turtle shell, not too much. It is also important to clean up frequently. Turtles are easy to raise. I can keep them for more than six years.
Breeding method of turtle
Most turtles are docile and can accept any food. Judging from the food, they are easy pets to keep. But turtles, like lizards, need sunbathing. In addition, the turtle's body is close to a circle, its weight seems to be much higher than that outside, and it also has a lot of exercise. Generally, cages are often too narrow and more troublesome than other reptiles.
1. Food
Although turtles eat all kinds of food, they have been fed cheap food with low nutritional value, which may cause malnutrition and must be especially careful. Turtles need a lot of calcium, so they should be fed calcium-rich food. Recently, a special feed for soft-shelled turtle with balanced nutrition was introduced on the market, which can be safely eaten. In addition, carp feed and dog food are also very suitable foods. Occasionally feeding some fresh food such as boneless fish, snake meat and mice will definitely win the love of turtles. Feeding only fish and meat slices will cause malnutrition and need to supplement water-soluble nutrients. What is introduced above is the food provided for turtles who often live in water. For example, turtles who don't like plant food in water are not suitable for artificial feeding. Generally, leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables can be fed with nutrients. In order to feed nine official birds.
2. birdcage
Aquatic turtles can be kept in containers that can hold water, such as tanks. The tortoise is bigger than it looks and needs a lot of exercise, so it needs a bigger cage. The sink with an average side length of 60 cm is still too small, so it is best to keep it in a storage box for clothes.
3. Others
Turtles don't irradiate ultraviolet rays and can't use calcium. Compared with lizards, the facilities to prevent turtles from escaping are relatively simple. As long as there is water supply facilities and a cool place to rest, it is not easy to get heatstroke, and the way of sunbathing is relatively simple. If the calcium intake of young turtles is insufficient, the turtle shell will easily become soft; Insufficient intake of vitamin A may cause eyes to turn white. When the above phenomenon occurs, in addition to the problem of insufficient vitamin A and calcium, it may also involve long-term feeding of low-nutrient foods, insufficient ultraviolet rays and other problems, which may be due to the wrong feeding methods. We must carefully provide balanced food, sunbathe with sun lamps, and so on. , completely change the feeding environment.
Common diseases
Shell diseases of aquatic turtles
Artificial aquatic turtle shells may have ulcers. Although they are all crustacean diseases, the types of pathogens are different due to different symptoms. Gram negative bacteria. Gram positive bacteria. Symptoms include shelling, pigmentation, ulcer, quadriplegia, paw shedding, visceral necrosis and so on. Crawfish, snakes, sea maggots and other animals used as feed, as well as soil and polluted water, may be the source of infection. Bacteria enter the body through the abraded wound. In the course of treatment, medicinal bath is used and appropriate antibiotics are applied throughout the body. However, all kinds of turtles are allergic to certain antibiotics, so special attention should be paid when using them.
Little turtles had better have more than two, one will be lonely and gradually become less lively.
First, the water in the water tank should be added to half of the turtle's back. At first, they supported kruimeltje or Xiaomi. When they find that their appetite is bigger, they can feed some small pieces of meat (raw). When I was young, I would dig earthworms for them.
Summer is their most active time. Try to let them eat more in summer. They should also pay attention to eating more in autumn, because they don't eat at all in winter. Also, remember to change the water frequently. It should be noted here that you must take a 1.25 liter bottle and put tap water in it for two days before you can raise turtles. There are substances in tap water, so it is not good to raise turtles directly. Usually the water in summer is dirty, basically. In winter, it will be fine to change it every 5-7 days. When the weather turns cold, remember to let them bask in the sun as long as there is sunshine. Little turtles die most easily in winter, so it is necessary to bask in the sun for them!
Occasionally, it's sunny. When the little turtles are active, they can try to fill a lot of water, let them swim in the tank for half an hour, or let them crawl around.
Turtles are actually very easy to raise and don't need to invest too much energy. Finally, I wish you an early enjoyment ... >>
Question 8: When is the best feeding time for Brazilian tortoise? Whatever, it will control itself and stop eating when it is full. If you feed it, you will grow up, and if you don't feed it for many days, you won't die ~ only eat it in spring and summer, not in autumn and winter ~
