There are two small Brazilian turtles, one big and one small, the previous section is fine, why is t

It is indeed a lack of calcium, but the calcium in food is generally sufficient, and you need to bask in the sun more, which is the same as people.

The second floor is wrong, the smaller the turtle, the more water it needs, because the little turtle's ability to tolerate thirst is very poor, and it is enough to have a sundeck that can climb up. It has nothing to do with soaking in water.

Soft shell**: Turtles lack various trace elements, especially vitamin D3, in the food due to long-term feeding of single feed and cooked food in captive environment, resulting in the lack of vitamin D in the turtle body, and the inversion of calcium and phosphorus ratio or lack of calcium, resulting in bone softening of the turtle. Long-term indoor rearing without natural sunlight can also cause the disease.

Fast-growing juvenile and juvenile turtles are common.

Prevention and control: In the daily feeding management, the exposure to sunlight should be ensured. Expose the turtle to natural sunlight as much as possible, taking care not to have any barriers, including glass, plastic sheeting, etc.

UVB fluorescent lamps can also be used for indoor rearing. For terrapins that have the habit of drying their nails, land should be set in the breeding container above the water surface for them to dry their nails. In the daily feeding food, an appropriate amount of calcium powder, shrimp shell powder, shell powder, cod liver oil, vitamin D and multivitamins and some nutritional drugs such as Jinshierkang should be added regularly.

Hatchlings and hatchlings should be fed some live shrimp in shell on a regular basis. In addition, the feeding bait should pay attention to the combination of animal bait and plant bait, and the shell should be fed with some green vegetable leaves. For more severely diseased turtles, 10% calcium gluconate (1 mL kg) can be injected intramuscularly.

There is no way to recover from the carapace that has caused the carapace.

If you are deficient in calcium, it is recommended to feed some small shrimps, and it is best to soak them, because they are very salty, and river shrimp can also be used.

Soak too much water. And it could also be sick. I used to raise turtles. It's too small, though. The smaller the turtle, the more dry ground it needs to be prepared to live...

1. Reason: If it is a newborn baby Brazilian turtle, the soft shell is relatively normal. Because they are just born, the shells have not yet begun to develop.

2. Solution: In this case, the breeder does not need to worry too much, just need to wait for them to slowly harden themselves. Don't pinch them with your hands when their shells are soft, and don't let them crawl where they have protrusions.

1. Reason: The back carapace of baby Brazilian turtles is still soft after a period of birth, which may be due to lack of light, because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can promote their synthesis of vitamin D3 and accelerate their absorption of calcium. If there is a lack of light, the back armor will become soft.

2. Solution: It is best for the keeper to build a sundeck for them and let them climb up to bask in the sun by themselves. If you can't get natural light, you can choose to install a sun-back light for them.

1. Reason: The soft shell of the baby Brazilian turtle may also be due to a lack of calcium, and they are in a critical stage of growth and development. If they don't have enough calcium in their bodies, they will have a soft shell.

2. Solution: Breeders should usually feed them more foods with higher calcium content, such as small fish, small shrimp, etc. They can also be fed cuttlefish bone meal, shrimp meal, calcium powder, etc. once a week.

Summary. What is the reason why the edges of the turtle shell have become particularly soft The main consideration is some calcium deficiency first, and then the possible lack of some trace elements. The hardness of the turtle's shell is determined by calcium, and the less calcium, the softer the turtle's shell.

If the body absorbs less calcium, it may develop leukonychia, which requires calcium supplementation for the turtle. <>

The hardness of the turtle's shell is determined by calcium, and the less calcium, the softer the turtle's shell. If the body absorbs less calcium, it may develop leukonychia, which requires calcium supplementation for the turtle.

There are many ways to supplement calcium <> turtles, you can add some small shrimp content to the food, or directly use calcium powder, mix it in their turtle food and use it together, when supplementing them with calcium, you also need to let the turtle bask in more sun, which can better promote the absorption of calcium. If vitamin D deficiency is due to vitamin D, oral cod liver oil may be considered. Nutritional leptonychoychia cannot be improved, and it usually takes half a year to recover slowly, so calcium supplementation is a relatively long-term process.

In addition to the above two causes, there may also be some diseases that cause the turtle's shell to soften, but these diseases are usually more complex, and the prognosis for medical diseases is usually not particularly good<>

<> caused by lack of sunbathing and liver or kidney disease. For these diseases, you can give the turtle vitamin D supplements and let it sunbathe fully <>

After soaking the diseased turtle with 40 ppm potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes, then gently applying a trace amount of potassium permanganate crystal powder to the lesion of the diseased turtle. It can also be wiped repeatedly with iodine tincture or 1%-2% hydrogen peroxide, and then apply chlortetracycline ointment (anti-inflammatory) or Yunnan Baiyao (hemostasis), or Baiduobang ointment. Once every two days, for one to two weeks, it's good pro.

What's going on with the whitish cracks in the shell of the baby Brazilian turtle.

Hello, I've seen your question Ha Now I'm manually replying to the content for you, but it takes a little time, please be patient for a while, thank you, thank you.

I have two baby turtles, one started like this some time ago, the other is normal, I basically change the water every day, feed, and bask in the sun.

Hello dear, the whitish cracks in the shell of the baby Brazilian turtle are the growth lines of the turtle, which is a normal phenomenon, you can not worry, it is fine. As the tortoise shell grows, it forms a pattern that resembles the growth rings of woody plants. On the dorsal carapace, it appears as concentric rings, also called concentric lines, and one concentric pattern represents a growth cycle.

Hope it helps you <>

Have you seen the ** sent to you? Is this growth streak? Isn't it some water mold or rotting nails?

You look at this place.

Dear, this ** you sent, it can be seen that it is the early stage of rotting armor. Prevention and control methods: soak the diseased turtle with 40ppm potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes, and then gently apply a trace amount of potassium permanganate crystal powder to the lesion of the diseased turtle.

It can also be wiped repeatedly with iodine tincture or 1%-2% hydrogen peroxide, and then apply chlortetracycline ointment (anti-inflammatory) or Yunnan Baiyao (hemostasis), or Baiduobang ointment. Once every two days, for one to two weeks, it's good pro.

Is there anything else you can help you with?

Hope the above is helpful <> you

If you are satisfied with me, please give it a thumbs up<>

Your praise is the infinite motivation for me to answer the question <>

Friend, your turtle may have parasites, I have raised one is your symptom, if the tortoise shell is still hard, then it may be other problems,

There are three main reasons for this:

1. I don't often dry my back, or I have never sunned my back. Resulting in calcium deficiency and abnormal development of the dorsal carapace, resulting in deformities.

2. The water does not completely cover the dorsal armor, resulting in unsynchronized development up and down.

3. The water is not good, and the fungus breeds to lead to rotting nails and other diseases, resulting in tortoise shell deformity.

It is caused by long-term low water level or dry cultivation without contact with water.

I don't know, you can ask the doctor.

You're not raised in fresh water, put some salt next time!

It's not a disease, it's just a lack of calcium, feed it a little shrimp skin, and bask in the sun more, maybe you usually give it less sun, right? Pinch the shell lightly to see if it's soft or hard, and don't "start" too hard.

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.

Notes:1Do not put a rat cage in a place exposed to the scorching sun, otherwise if the turtle enters the rat cage and is locked inside, it will be dried into a turtle breast, so this is a noteworthy point.

2.Check the inside of the tank every day for leakage, if there is nothing for the turtle to climb out of, and the leakage is exposed to the scorching sun, the turtle will also die there, especially in summer.

3.The other is that there should be no things around the breeding tank for the turtle to clamp its body, so as to prevent the turtle from escaping and being sunburned in the open air.

It should be molting, which means that he has grown up Congratulations But you must not pick its shell with your hands to help him molt, otherwise the consequences will be very serious

Probably fading, no problem. See if there is bleeding, if there is disinfection, apply some Yunnan Baiyao.

Is the shell so soft? Is the situation serious? If it is urgent, he will pound the calcium tablets into powder and dissolve them in water, and he will drink a little calcium-containing water when he is soaking the turtle.

But in the long run, it is still mainly based on food supplements: feed more fresh small fish (with bones) and small shrimp (with shells, but cut off the shrimp gun on the shrimp head to avoid pricking the esophagus of the small turtle), and be sure to insist on basking in the sun every day (don't pass through the glass, the effect will be greatly reduced).

In fact, the landlord's baby turtle is quite small and not suitable for hibernation. It is recommended to buy a heating rod immediately to raise the water temperature to about 28 degrees Celsius to wake him up completely. The water temperature is 28 degrees, and he will naturally open his mouth to eat.

When the natural temperature does not reach the beginning of the meal, it is recommended that the landlord heat it up, because your baby turtle is already very weak and malnourished. Take a look at the old farmer's post: there are many turtles and turtles who left their puppets during this period of green and yellow time.

Your little turtle is so cute, cherish him!
