    1.Use a toothbrush to wash the turtle shell with toothpaste (to be soft and dripping) ** You don't need to wash the old, (it is better to put the turtle in the water) (to divide the turtle and tortoise).

    2.You will get used to it slowly.

    3.No need to chop into foam, the turtle has teeth, cut into small pieces and add it 1 2 times a day with small tweezers.

    There is another small way to make the turtle loyal to you: after you get it back, don't feed it for a week, and then feed it, let the turtle get familiar with the environment first, don't worry about the turtle will be hungry, the turtle's metabolism is very slow, and a comet tail is not needed for a lot, so as not to open the body too much and warp the shell. Try to feed it with fish.

    Is that okay?

    The shell is covered with a towel to keep warm. lest the turtle catch a cold while bathing. If it's summer, you can bathe the turtle directly.

    It is best not to wash the shell of the turtle frequently, which will harm the turtle and reduce the turtle's own resistance.

    You let him travel, do you have a regular time to soak him in water during these two or three days? Soak in water at least 2 times a day, plus the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, so as not to dehydrate the turtle and dry out the shell.
