    If it still makes trouble, at least it means that there is still salvation.

    Basking in the sun can be mandatory, but pay attention to the time, not more than half an hour, preferably within 20 minutes, at the same time, the sun should not be blocked by things such as glass, ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate the glass.

    If you don't eat for two weeks after you buy it, it's likely that it's a problem with your tortoise's constitution. After all, the medical treatment of Brazilian tortoises is not like people, people have all kinds of symptoms, all kinds of **. But turtles often die when something goes wrong.

    Insist on basking in the sun, enhance resistance, and sterilize by the way.

    Belch. It is better to feed some small fish and shrimp (the fish should be cut into strips, not with spines. The shrimp should be peeled off and cut into small slices as well), and it is okay to feed some bread worms.

    When the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius, it hibernates, and that's how my tortoise is raised, and I feed it shrimp skin, and I take a basin and put some water, so that its paws should get wet. Desert the water to the turtle shell, not too much water, it also has to breathe air, now the turtle is hibernating, the turtle rarely eats in winter.

    Feed the shrimp skin once every half a month, but feed less, because he doesn't eat much, and take it outside to bask in the sun in the summer, the white things on the body can be brushed off with a brush, but be careful not to let it bite, if the bite hurts, my mother will let it bite once. Brush and it will be clean.

    The real hibernation method is to spread wet thick sand in the container, cover it with newspaper dough, and the turtle will sleep in the sand on its own, and hydrate once a week to keep the sand and newspaper moist. Hibernation is a test for domestic turtles. First of all, you have to make sure that your baby is healthy and free of diseases.

    Brazilian tortoises do not eat in winterIt's hibernating.

    Brazilian tortoises hibernate every year.

    Brazilian Turtle Breeding Methods and Precautions:

    1. Brazilian tortoises like to be in pools. The Brazilian turtle has a lively personality and does not like to live in a very small space like a fish tank, he likes to live in a large pool, which needs to be planted with some aquatic plants, and it is best to put some toys for him.

    2. The room temperature of breeding should be kept above 20 degrees Celsius. Because the Brazilian turtle likes a hot environment, it is still relatively sensitive to temperature, and the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the Brazilian turtle will enter a dormant state, and will remain for a long time.

    3. You need to take it out when you change the water. Because the Brazilian turtle is more active, it always likes to stretch its neck, so be sure to take it out when changing the water to avoid choking on it.

    4. It is necessary to change the water-based flush once a day. Because the Brazilian turtle loves to be clean, so it is necessary to change the water for him every day, which will also help it grow brightly, and the water temperature must be controlled above 20 degrees Celsius, and the difference in water temperature between the two water changes cannot be very large.

    5. Give him frequent sun exposure. The Brazilian turtle is a small animal that likes to bask in the sun, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun also help him kill bacteria, and can also give it calcium, so there are many benefits of sunbathing.

    The main reason is that the temperature and water temperature during the hibernation period are low, especially in the northern region, the turtle can hardly tolerate long-term low temperatures, resulting in gradual weakening of the physique and death. There are also some aquatic turtles, such as the Brazilian tortoise, which die of lack of water indoors due to the drying of the air due to heating indoors in northern regions. In addition, the turtle fails to replenish nutrients in time in the autumn, and the nutrients stored in the body cannot meet the needs of its hibernation period, which will also lead to the death of the turtle.

    Therefore, before hibernation, it is necessary to pay attention to the observation that if the turtle has thin limbs and light weight, and the aquatic turtle often floats on the surface of the water, it is necessary to pay more attention to take measures. Before the turtle hibernates, increase the amount of feeding, and add nutrients and antibiotics to the turtle's food, such as multivitamin powder, vitamin E powder, epimycin powder, etc., to enhance the turtle's resistance and cope with the hibernation period. For particularly weak turtles, they can be raised alone, and if necessary, the temperature must be strengthened so that the turtle does not hibernate and the turtle eats normally.

    When the Brazilian turtle spends the winter in a heated room, pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the turtle's body, wrap the turtle body with a damp cloth, and sprinkle some water appropriately every day. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the turtles and turtles can survive the winter.

    Brazilian tortoise. Normally, when the temperature reaches a certain level, the Brazilian turtle will also hibernate. However, many times Brazilian turtles also do not hibernate properly, so why is that? What might cause Brazilian tortoises not to hibernate?

    In general, the Brazilian turtle will gradually start to hibernate when the ambient temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius, and when the temperature exceeds 16 degrees Celsius, it will begin to wake up and feed. Moreover, the cold resistance of the Brazilian turtle is okay, and it can generally safely overwinter as long as the water temperature is not lower than 4 degrees Celsius.

    However, many artificially raised Brazilian turtles mainly live indoors, and the indoor temperature is not too low many times, so it will also affect the hibernation of Brazilian turtles. In addition, due to the difference in climate between different south and north, the hibernation time of Brazilian turtles is also different. Generally, the south hibernates in mid to late November, and the north around mid-October, of course, it depends on the temperature change.

    Of course, the Brazilian turtle can also not hibernate, you can properly warm the water and irradiate it with fluorescent lamps, the temperature reaches a certain level, the Brazilian turtle can not hibernate, but the Brazilian turtle still has to sleep at night, and do not let him hibernate, the Brazilian turtle will grow up quickly, and the Brazilian turtle that grows up is not as cute and beautiful as when he was a child.

    The Brazilian tortoise is really not suitable for hibernation when it is small, because his physique is too weak, so it is generally not advisable to buy a baby Brazilian tortoise in the fall, because he has not grown up yet, and he will hibernate immediately, and it will be difficult for him to live until spring. So in case you buy a baby Brazilian tortoise in the fall, don't let him hibernate in winter, buy a warming stick, let him continue to eat in a warm situation, grow up slowly, and don't hibernate in winter, because he can't get through it.
