    1. Feeding rules.

    Adults are recommended 3 times a week, but young turtles can be once a day. Brazilian tortoises have a keen sense of sight and smell, so they are very good at grabbing food. Under the conditions of captivity, they like to eat animal bait, such as fish, pork, animal offal, mussels, snails and bloodworms (midges larvae), red heartworms (earthworms), mealworms (bread worms), fly maggots, etc., and the food should not have thorns and bones to avoid injury to turtles.

    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 Brazilian tortoise has no selective feeding time and eats both 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.

    2. Hatchling of turtles.

    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 23-28 degrees Celsius. 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.

    3. 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.

    There have also been cases of tortoiseshell stunting due to the size of the culture container. 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 a cold.
