The life and rest of the Brazilian tortoise, the living habits of the Brazilian tortoise

Brazilian tortoises live a similar lifestyle to humans, resting at night and moving during the day. Normally, the Brazilian tortoise quiets down and goes to sleep after dark. They like to rest in a quiet environment and can feel uncomfortable if their surroundings are too noisy.

The sleep duration of Brazilian tortoises varies depending on the environment. For example, if the water temperature is low, they may increase sleep time and can sleep up to 10 hours a day. And when the water temperature is moderate, they usually sleep for around 7 hours.

If the water temperature is high, it may affect the quality of their sleep.

In addition, the Brazilian turtle is an aquatic turtle that is highly adaptable to the environment and likes to bask in the wind and sunny weather. They are lively, active, and timid by nature. In terms of feeding habits, Brazilian turtles are omnivorous, eating food such as scraps and eggs, as well as plant-based feeds such as rice, wheat flour, soybean cakes, melons, fruits, vegetables, etc.

The Brazilian red-eared turtle is an aquatic turtle, which likes quiet and is afraid of noise, likes warmth and is afraid of cold, is active by nature, and has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, such as its tolerance to temperature changes is stronger than that of domestic turtles such as turtles and yellow-throated turtles. The water temperature suitable for growing is 20 32 , and the optimal water temperature for growing is between 25 30. Eating decreases and activity is less active when below 20, hibernation begins at age 16, and complete hibernation occurs below 12.

The living habits of the Brazilian turtle are as follows: The Brazilian turtle has an active habit, likes to live in the water, is not afraid of people, and has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. The water temperature suitable for growing is 20 32 , and the optimal water temperature for growing is between 25 30.

Less food intake and less active activity when below 20; Basically stop feeding when it is below 15; Activity below 10 is markedly reduced and semi-dormant. Brazilian turtles are omnivorous turtles, which are mainly carnivorous when cultivated in captivity, especially in the juvenile and juvenile turtle stages, and mostly eat small fish and shrimp, lean meat, etc. In the adult stage, plant feed (banana, fruit, etc.) and worker compound feed can also be eaten.

Brazilian tortoises eat a lot and grow faster than tortoises. Generally, juvenile turtles hatched from July to September, under normal temperature, sufficient food and normal breeding conditions, can reach an average of 25-40 grams before wintering in the current year, and can raise more than 200 grams of turtles in the following year, and generally reach more than 400 grams of commercial turtle specifications in the third year. However, the growth rate of male and female Brazilian turtles is not consistent, with the latter significantly faster than the former.

Feeding management: can be fed bread worms, lean pork, fish, etc., young turtles should be minced meat into minced meat feeding. When the ambient temperature is above 20 degrees in spring and summer, the turtle has strong activity, can be fed 3-4 times a week, if fed every day, the weight gains rapidly, and can grow 100 grams a year.

It is not suitable for feeding when the ambient temperature is 17 degrees. Hibernation occurs below 15 degrees Celsius.

Feeding: Red-eared turtles are omnivorous; However, it is partial to animal bait, and under artificial breeding conditions, poultry, pigs and other animal offal, fly maggots, and bread worms are the mainstay. Appropriate combination of fruits, vegetables and mixed feed to enhance the nutrients in the body.

In spring and autumn, vitamin E powder and antibiotics are added to increase the number of eggs and enhance the turtle's physique. Daily feeding should be timed, fixed, and qualitative.

1) Timing: The feeding time is fixed, generally in spring and autumn it is 10 14 o'clock, and in summer it is appropriate to 7 9 o'clock or 18 19 o'clock, when the temperature is too high or too low, the turtle has less food or no food.

2) Fixed-point: The location of the bait should be fixed, so that it is convenient to observe the eating and activity of the turtle. When the feed is fed, healthy turtles can crawl to the food table to feed. Those turtles that are slow to respond or do not eat should be observed, and those in severe cases should be kept separately.

3) Qualitative: The feed must be fresh and odorless, and the scraps should be washed first, and then the excess tendons, skins and other substances should be removed to avoid indigestion.

Water quality management: Red-eared turtles live most of the time in water and prefer to be in clear water. Therefore, the quality of water is very important.

Change the water every 10 to 15 days in summer. If the water color is brownish-green or blue-green, it indicates that the water quality is too "fertile", and all the water should be changed in time. 6 September, due to the high temperature, the water change should be carried out 3 4 hours after feeding.

In winter, the turtle can change the water less or no water during the hibernation period.

Male and female identification.

There is no significant difference between females and males in terms of appearance and color, but there is a large difference in weight. When turtles reach a certain body weight, they can be identified as male and female. Females can weigh 1 to 2 kg, the ventral carapace is flat, and the cloaca foramen is located in the posterior edge of the dorsal carapace; Males do not weigh more than one, have long claws and tails on their limbs, and have cloacal foramen located at the tail behind the carapace.

The normal sleeping time for a Brazilian tortoise is after dark, starting and continuing until the next morning.

I don't think it will sleep for more than a few hours, because every time I go to see it, it's about 10 p.m., and when the lights are turned off, it climbs ashore and sleeps on its own.

Then I got up at 7 a.m. the next morning to look at it, and it was already awake.

To put it simply, it's all about sleeping at night and running around and basking in the sun during the day.

If you sleep with your eyes closed during the day, it is an abnormal phenomenon.

Attached is a diagram of my turtle's sleeping position.

I haven't raised them in Brazil, but I think it's similar to a grass turtle. At night, when the lights are turned off, I go to sleep, and if there is a bright light, I will wake up immediately. When it's hot, I take a lunch break at noon, which is cute.

It sleeps at night when it doesn't sleep, and it wakes up when it doesn't wake up during the day.

This answer is the same as the answer downstairs, and this answer is recommended for 17 years, so I don't know who has it. At least you can't change the release time, right?

Brazilian tortoises generally sleep at night. Lively and active.

However, it is less courageous and responds sensitively to sound and vibration. The juveniles have a docile temperament and can be held in their hands at will. However, once sexually mature and become an adult, they begin to become more aggressive.

It attacks those who disturb it, and although it is not as fierce as a snapping turtle, it can also cause flesh wounds when bitten. In the wild, Brazilian painted turtles prefer to inhabit clear lakes, small rivers, and ponds.

When the sun is good, they will climb ashore to dry their shells, and most of the rest of the time they will swim in the water. It is an omnivorous turtle that is more carnivorous and eats almost everything.

Sleep when you're tired, not necessarily, but definitely sleep at night, it's quiet and dark at night. I was also curious, so I turned on the lights on my phone and almost woke them up. Turn off the lights immediately and let them sleep.

I woke up at about half-past six in the morning, Brazil was awake, and the tortoise was still sleeping. Anyway, it doesn't have to be the time to go to bed. Because after all, you breathe with your lungs, and it is estimated that you will have to stretch out your head to breathe halfway through sleep.

Landlord, hello, the turtle's work and rest is not fixed, tired it will rest (half water), rest and will move, at this time can not disturb it, after all, turtles and turtles are very vigilant, as for hibernation is well known, the weather will enter hibernation when it turns cold, at this time it does not eat or drink, and does not move much, basically so, hope to adopt.

Landlord We also have Brazilian turtles They seem to nest on the sand at six o'clock [sand is spread underneath] Sleep so early Won't it...

When you are tired of playing, you will fall asleep, and you will not ...... like a human being

In winter, it is normal for baby turtles to be inactive. That's because turtles are meant to hibernate. You can adjust the water temperature to some lukewarm water when you change the water again.

You test the temperature of the water with your hands first, don't be cold, when you put the baby turtle in it, if it desperately grabs the wall of the tank and wants to climb out, it means that the water is hot. (My tortoise now looks down to find something to eat as soon as I put warm water in it.)

Brazilian tortoises, which are not particularly inseparable from water, are also good to use a softer and warmer cloth to fold and put the baby tortoises on it to sleep. (If my little tortoise doesn't call him, he will sleep for a day, and he won't crawl out.)

It is advisable to put a small stone in the water and let the turtle choose whether it is dry or wet, which is good for his spirit. (My turtle turtle began not to eat, and then it was cooked, the absorption was not very good, and a small rockery was put in, and the spirit was good, and the feelings were deeper, as soon as it came to my hands, played with me for a while, I was tired, and I turned my head to sleep).

In fact, the turtle is spiritual, often talk to him, like a child, what does his action mean, in fact, it is very simple to guess, take care of the baby turtle! Come on! So happy!
