Why does my baby Brazilian turtle grow moss on its hands, feet and shells?

Turtle shells. Turning green is because of algae.

Attaching to the surface of the turtle shell and growing, it is not a disease, and it will become a green turtle after a long time.

The green turtle is very ornamental, and I have summarized the experience of raising turtles below for reference, I hope mine can help you, hope.

1. Brazilian tortoise.

It is a relatively easy turtle species to raise. However, this does not mean that you can raise them indiscriminately, and you still need to pay attention to the method of raising Brazilian turtles.

2. Feeding rules:

Adults are recommended 3 times a week, but hatchlings can be once a day. Brazilian tortoises have a keen sense of sight and smell, so they are very good at grabbing food. Under artificial breeding conditions, they prefer to eat animal bait, such as fish, pork, animal offal, mussels, snails, blood worms (midges larvae), and red filarial worms (earthworms).

Mealworms. bread worms), maggots, etc., food should not have thorns and bones to avoid injury to the turtle.

It is better to feed fresh raw meat, the meat becomes hard after cooking, and the turtle does not like to eat hard things. Brazilian turtles love shrimp. Adult or elderly Brazilian tortoises are extremely hungry, and some turtles will eat plants such as leaves, rice, and soft melons and fruits, but this is relatively rare.

Young turtles basically eat only meat. The red-eared turtle has no selective feeding time, and eats evenly day and night. In the state of hunger, there is a rush to eat, and the phenomenon of eating too much and eating too much occurs.

3. Hatchling turtle rearing:

Juvenile Brazilian tortoises can be raised in flat-bottomed containers, plastic pots, plastic troughs, glass tanks or boxes, and aquariums are all suitable.

Each baby turtle should have 5 litres of water to move around, and the depth of the water should not exceed the length of the turtle's body, so that the turtle can hold its feet to the ground when it breathes at the surface. At the same time, they must also be made of bricks and stone chips or buy a sundeck so that the turtle can dry its back. Floating islands are not suitable because hatchlings often can't climb up.

The water temperature that the hatchlings can adapt to is about Celsius.

23-28 degrees. When it's cold, the air on the container should also be warmed, and adding a shade light to the tank can give you the best of both worlds. If the water temperature is still too low, you can set a heating rod in the water to adjust the temperature as much as possible.

4. Adult turtle breeding:

Adult turtles need much larger tanks so that they have enough room to move. To create an ideal environment, a pair of grown Brazilian tortoises need at least 100 litres of water. If the tank is too small, the Brazilian turtle will quickly become obese and sluggish, and if it falls into the water on all fours, it will drown because it cannot roll over.

The size of the breeding container also leads to the tortoise shell.

Cases of dysplasia. Large plastic basins, aquariums or large wooden containers with plastic sheeting can be used as turtle troughs. The most convenient is the trough with drainage holes, as it is easy to change the water and clean frequently.

In order to make the water temperature in the breeding tank reach the temperature preferred by the Brazilian turtle, the heating rod used in the aquarium is used, and the equipment and wiring should be prevented from getting stuck in the Brazilian turtle. The electric felt can also be placed at the bottom of the outside of the breeding box, and the synthetic resin rubber can be padded under the electric felt as an insulating material.

However, the water temperature should not be higher than the outside temperature (about 25 to 30 degrees Celsius) to prevent the Brazilian turtle from catching cold.

Use these 6 steps to clean up the green moss:

The green moss on the meat can be cleaned up last.

Tools required: 1 toothpaste, 1 toothbrush.

1. Squeeze toothpaste on the turtle's back first.

2. Use a toothbrush to clean the green moss on the turtle's back first.

3. Use a toothbrush to clean the green moss on the tortoise's abdomen.

4. Use your fingers to clean the moss on the turtle meat, because the moss on the turtle meat is relatively easy to rub off compared to the moss on the back carapace, and it is more convenient to use your hands.

5. Finally, rinse the tortoise.

6. The turtle is clean in this way.

Precautions: When cleaning the turtle with a toothbrush at first, be gentle to prevent the turtle from being frightened.

There is moss on the turtle shell, and you only need to use a small brush to brush off the moss on it. Although the moss itself is not harmful to the turtle, the reason for the growth of moss is that the water quality is not good, and the water needs to be changed in time in this case. In addition, in summer, due to the high temperature, the water quality of the wax deteriorates quickly, so the water should be changed frequently.

You can also keep it free-range, put a shallow basin on the balcony that it can climb into, don't put too much water in it, and when it is dry, the turtle will go to find water, so that it is not easy to raise moss.

Landlord First, in fact, don't soak in salt water The little turtle is not sick Second, the moss grows because there are spores (seeds) of moss in the water, they are attached to the back shell of the little turtle, that part will not be rubbed, (unlike the shell at the bottom of the small turtle, which is often in contact with the bottom of the tank), the spores grow naturally on the shell and become moss, if the landlord has not cleaned the back shell of the little turtle, it is easier to grow moss, my little turtle changes the water every day, and there will be a lot of dirt attached to the back shell every few days, The dirt is food scraps and baby turtle poop.

If the landlord wants to remove the moss, please do this:

First, gently wipe off the moss on the turtle's body with a soft-bristled toothbrush, taking care not to rub the turtle's eyes.

Second, the container for raising baby turtles should be scrubbed with soap, and potassium permanganate can be added to disinfect if necessary.

Third, the water is perishable in this season, so you should change the water every day, not too much water, and the water should just submerge the turtle's back shell. If there is too much water, the baby turtle will swim very hard and feed raw meat every day.

The turtle I raised also has moss on its body, which is the result of not changing the water for a long time and putting it in a cool place! I don't think it hurts, I change the water once a week, and the turtles I raise are still very lively...

All water + light is easy to breed moss, you can use a cotton swab or toothbrush to clean it first.

Saline is of little use, and a high dilution of potassium permanganate can be used in severe cases. But it is best to use the Brazilian turtle care solution (the damage to the turtle is not so great), go to the flower, grass, fish and insect market to buy it, 5-8 yuan a bottle, drip into the water according to the instructions, do not frequent the frequency.

Long-term salt will cause turtle edema Just use a toothbrush Gently, very lightly, just brush with water The others below have answered the reason I won't talk about it You can raise some aquatic plants in the water Water hyacinth Water centipede will be easier to write Consume the nitrogen and phosphorus in the water will be better The root cause is that there are too many of these things in your water.

It is a bad phenomenon for a turtle to have moss on its body.

1. If the algae plants in the water are exposed to too much sunlight and the algae plants grow rapidly, this situation will occur 2. The green turtle is not moss, but a kind of algae, which needs to be planted artificially, and this kind of moss that grows because it is not clean will pollute the small turtle.

Treatment method: 1. Potassium permanganate water should be used every half a month or a month to detoxify, potassium permanganate should not be concentrated, a few grains are OK, the water turns pink, let them soak in potassium permanganate water for half an hour, the water should not pass their shells This is to disinfect them and prevent ** disease.

2. Gently scrub with toothpaste and toothbrush, do not use force.

Do you often give him the sun, if it didn't grow before, it is that you didn't wash it clean and grow moss, algae plants, too much sunlight, and the algae plants in the water grow rapidly, this will happen.

Bask in the sun more, change the water cleanly, or use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush it gently, be sure not to use too much force, otherwise it will cause bacterial infection and rotten nails to bask in the sun.

With a toothbrush like a toothbrush, you can apply some toothpaste.

Brush it clean with a toothbrush.

The jar should be washed and the water should be changed thoroughly.

First of all, ensure that the water quality is clean, and the water quality is definitely not good.

Second, it is recommended that you buy a special tank for turtles and turtles, with two layers up and down, so that turtles and turtles can go up to bask in the sun.

Thirdly, give the turtle a bath every time you change the water, rinse it with water, and use a toothbrush to help it clean its shell and abdomen.

Fourth, don't feed turtles and turtles what turtle food, there is no nutrition, and it is easy to pollute the water quality, feed turtles and turtles to eat some small fish, one bite at a time, clean and neat.

Just brush it with a toothbrush

1.It is normal to have moss on your back, because if you put it in water and let it out in the sun, it will not be tight.

2.Your relatives say that he has not eaten or drunk for a long time, because he hibernates in winter, and he definitely does not eat (probably sick, said below).

3.Moss on the limbs and head is impossible.

4.(There is a white one on the back, as if the shell is a little cracked, the stomach is sunken, and the spots are red!) Don't move, don't eat.

Slight white spot disease and rotting nails, your relatives don't give him a change to say that there is moss on the body, the water is dirty and the rotten nails, the white spot disease plus the temperature is more than 28 degrees, you can use 1% malachite green ointment or sulfonamide ointment to smear the affected area, the sick turtle is coated with purple potion all over the body, and it can be applied for 7 days, and a small amount of oxytetracycline powder can be added to the feed, so as to see the situation first.

5.Do not raise sick turtles together.

It's nail rot. **: The carapace is damaged or crushed, allowing germs to invade the tortoiseshell, causing the carapace to ulcerate.

Symptoms: The torsal or ventral carapace of the turtle initially appears with white spots, which slowly form red spots. In severe cases, the surface of the carapace will ulcerate into holes, and the armpits and crotch will bulge. Sick turtles stop eating and move less, and there is a phenomenon of head shrinkage.

Prevention and control: Pick the shield of the affected area, apply it directly to the affected area with salt or potassium permanganate crystal powder, once a day, and it can be cured in about a week.

If you can't cure it, that's it, put some water above 28 degrees, and then put some yellow powder or cephalosporin inside, the turtle will be put inside, the water will be over the back armor, and the wound will be disinfected with hydrogen peroxide, or potassium permanganate, povidone-iodine, iodophor can be, and then smear the affected area with erythromycin, if there is one below, dry and raise it for a few hours and then put it in the potion to bathe him, and the sun will be full every day.

I've seen**, this is an obvious bacterial infection, it is artificially inadequately cared for, of course the turtle is sick and does not eat or drink, it is recommended that you try it with potassium permanganate (** net has to sell), originally I did not recommend it, because you can also use the turtle treasure, but this turtle is very sick, so let you try it first, (potassium permanganate is highly toxic, and the bactericidal ability is also strong), but there is one thing to pay attention to, when the sick turtle is soaked in the medicine, the water should be given less, and the turtle shell can be just submerged, Don't soak its mouth in the medicine, so as not to be poisoned, first soak it for about 10 minutes a day, for a week, to see if it gets better, if not, extend the time to half an hour, the back can be wiped with potassium permanganate (pay attention to the potion does not drip into the eyes of the sick turtle), wait for 10 minutes and then clean it with water, this method is a bit risky, but if you want to be safe, you still use turtle protection liquid (treasure), ** online has to sell, but the effect of this method may be slower, Wishing your little turtle a speedy day**!

Oh, the moss on the back means that the temperature, humidity and sunlight you give are very suitable, so that there is the potential to grow into a green turtle This is very rare There is also that the turtle's back is very normal The landlord should rest assured.
