How to raise Brazilian turtles so as not to be infected with bacteria

Listen, I've raised three of them, and look, there's nothing wrong with them now. I also play with them every day, holding them left and right.

Turtles have salmonella. Be careful, as long as you don't put your hand in your mouth after touching it, wash your hands frequently. The resulting deaths are mainly for children under the age of 10. Rest assured.

Don't listen to that, it's all nonsense, many of us have no matter how many of them.

The turtle that has been cultivated since childhood in the monopoly place is fine, but the wild one is not good, it doesn't matter if you buy it and raise it, if you are afraid, touch it a few times, and wash your hands after touching it.

No, I've raised a lot of them, nothing at all, don't be afraid, don't listen to other people's nonsense, you can't raise anything, don't live.

Actually, it's fine. I have raised Brazilian turtles for six years, there is no problem at all, the eyes of Brazilian turtles are indeed easy to get diseases, back to that is just a bacterial infection caused by the unhygienic environment of the breeding environment, people are generally not infected. Some Brazilian turtles carry some bacteria or viruses such as Salmonella, but generally do not cause harm to the human body, pay attention to the Brazilian turtle when cleaning the environment, frequent sunbathing, change more clean water, do not have too close contact with the Brazilian turtle, wash hands with soap after contact, and generally will be fine.

Therefore, the average person can safely raise Brazilian turtles and other turtles.

Analysis:

Hello, according to your description, the Brazilian turtle contains salmonella in its body, but the human body has its own defense system, so when it enters, the mouth has to pass through the digestive tract, and it will generally be killed by various enzymes in the digestive tract. So you don't have to worry too much.

The Brazilian tortoise has a strong vitality and is very easy to raise, as long as you raise it properly, it is generally fine. Unless you don't know how to raise it, or the environment is bad, then the turtle will of course get sick.

There is a virus called Salmonella that is harmful to the human body in turtles, which can be fatal, and there has been a precedent for it.

Some of the genera Salmonella are specifically pathogenic to humans, some are only to animals, and some are pathogenic to both humans and animals. Salmonellosis is a general term for the different forms of salmonella caused by various types of salmonella in humans, domestic animals, and wild animals. Food poisoning can occur in people infected with Salmonella or by contaminating food with the feces of people infected with Salmonella.

According to statistics, among the types of bacterial food poisoning in countries around the world, food poisoning caused by Salmonella is often at the top of the list. Salmonella is also the first place in the inland areas of China.

There must be, if you are in contact with it often, remember to wash your hands and keep the turtle water clean, there is no problem, I change the water every two days, and brush the turtle shell once a week. Keep it clean and hygienic I've seen reports that many aquatic reptiles (including crocodiles, turtles, etc.) may have germs in their guts, such as Salmonella and other digestive pathogens. These bacteria are mainly ingested through food (raw meat, especially raw meat that is somewhat rotten, etc.) and can be passed through feces.

Turtles have bacteria, especially salmonella, for the elderly, children and people with weak resistance, infection can be life-threatening, so be sure to wash your hands carefully after taking the baby turtle.

Do turtles have germs? Personally, I think that turtles and turtles will definitely have germs, and turtles will definitely have various germs and parasites.

Does a turtle have germs? I think as long as animals have germs, I think it depends on how you raise them, if you give it healthy food every day, rinse it every day and change the water so there are not so many bacteria.

What viruses are on turtles, there is no research on this yet. Viruses from turtles are generally not transmitted to humans, but in exceptional cases, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Turtles bred in captivity are generally safer and have a lower amount of virus on their bodies.

So far, no virus has been found to be harmful to humans, and humans have not tested what kind of virus is present in turtles, because this test has no practical significance, and no one has done research on this.

If there is no bacterial disease, then you should take some antibiotic drugs, such as taking some amoxicillin or virus people, so that these bacteria will disappear.

<> it is more difficult for the turtle to heal after being infected with fungi, and the owner should help the turtle in time. First, the turtle is isolated to prevent other healthy turtles from being infected. At the same time, pay attention to the dried turtles and keep the breeding environment clean.

Then apply fungal net or tannic acid ointment to the affected area every day, and scrape it clean after the fungus has fallen until the turtle is healed.

Salmonella bacteria.

For humans, the first hazard is the Salmonella carried by the Brazilian tortoise, and the Brazilian tortoise is also the main culprit of the spread of Salmonella, with 85% of Salmonella in the body, and there are more Salmonella in the young tortoise, and after repeated research and demonstration, the Salmonella carried by the Brazilian tortoise will be transmitted to humans and bring harm to humans.

This bacterium can be harmful to the health of the elderly, pregnant women and children, and Salmonella is also very dangerous for users with poor physical fitness. Therefore, if there are people who raise Brazilian turtles at home, they must pay attention to the unhealthy Qihe to let pregnant women and children come into contact with Brazilian turtles, and they must also wash their hands after touching Brazilian turtles, clean and dry sails.

Turtle feeding precautions.

It is necessary to pay attention to feeding different kinds of feed, fresh meat, and food diversity are the guarantee of turtle health. In addition, you can add some vitamins, calcium tablets, oxytetracycline, etc. to the food to enhance the turtle's immunity.

It is best to feed the turtle within 20 minutes, 1-2 times a day. The feed that cannot be eaten should be fished out in time to avoid polluting the water quality.

Bask in the sun for 2-3 hours a day (except for hibernation), and pay attention to the temperature not too high, which will cause the turtle to sunburn to death. Or use a sun-back lamp 3-4 times a week for about 2 hours each time.

1. Symptoms of fungal infection in turtles

Turtle fungal infection is a serious disease that can have serious consequences for the turtle's health if left untimed. When a turtle is infected with the fungus, there are some changes in its appearance and behavior. First, it may have some white pustules on its shell, which will gradually spread and form a white spot on the shell.

In addition to this, turtles can also experience similar symptoms, that is, the appearance of multiple small, light-colored white spots.

In addition, there are some behavioral changes after a fungal infection in turtles.

Turtles may also experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, red eyes, and malaise.

If you notice any symptoms, you need to go to the veterinarian promptly**.

2. Causes of fungal infection in turtles

Normally, the body of a turtle will have many kinds of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites. However, if the turtle's immunity is weakened, there may be a bacterial or fungal multiplication that can lead to infection. In addition, prolonged exposure to humid and unclean environments can also increase the risk of fungal infections in turtles.

In addition, if the turtle is placed in the same environment, the risk of disease transmission will also increase.

3. Prevention and ** turtle fungal infection

In order to prevent and ** turtle fungal infection, a variety of measures need to be taken. The first thing to do is to keep the turtle's environment dry and clean, and avoid leaving them in a humid and burning environment for long periods of time. Clean the turtle's pool every day and change the water regularly.

Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the turtle has a nutritionally balanced diet and avoid feeding excessive or unhygienic foods.

If the turtle is found to be infected with the fungus, you should go to the veterinarian in time, and the veterinarian will formulate a corresponding **plan according to the specific symptoms and condition of the turtle. In general, methods include administering antifungal drugs to the tortoise, washing the infected area, and improving the tortoise's nutritional status.

4. Summary

Turtle fungal infection is a relatively serious disease, if not timed, it will have a greater impact on the life and health of turtles. In order to prevent the occurrence of this disease, we need to pay attention to keeping the environment of the turtle clean and dry, avoid feeding unhygienic food, and also pay attention to the health of the turtle so that it can be detected and the disease in time.

It is sincerely recommended that you go to professional forums such as [Crawling World], [Turtle Forum], [Spirit Turtle Home], [Turtle Turtle Building], etc., post, transfer pictures, consult master turtle friends, and usually study professional medical and breeding knowledge in these forums.

There are a lot of non-majors, and it is too easy to mislead turtle friends. Don't rely on it.

The professional forum is the right guidance.

In fact, if the usual feeding method is correct, the turtle will not get sick easily, so the owner must do self-examination

Many friends will mistake turtle = turtle. In fact, turtles are just one of the many species of turtles. You should first determine what the breed of your turtle is, search for the turtle's ** on it, and look at it, roughly divided into categories, and check whether it is a water turtle or a tortoise.

If it's a tortoise, go to the turtle's forum for more information.

If it is a water turtle or a semi-water turtle, such as a golden turtle, a Brazilian turtle, a grass turtle, a yellow-throated turtle, etc., the small turtle is better raised in water, and the large turtle can be properly free-range. In particular, the Brazilian turtle is a water turtle after all, and it should not be out of the water for a long time.

If you are free-range and dry-raised, in addition to basking in the sun in the morning, you should usually go out for activities, and you should often put it in the water most of the time.

Shallow or deep water cultivation is OK, and the surface of shallow water is generally just below the turtle shell. When raising in deep water, put stones and other objects in the water that turtles can climb up to prevent choking.

When the water temperature is above 24 degrees Celsius, turtle seedlings within the size of the palm are fed once a day, large turtles are fed once every 2 or 3 days, fish and shrimp, loaches and other staple foods, and bloodworms and bread worms are fed in rotation as non-staple foods. Make sure your food is varied. It's not that turtle food can't be fed, but it's like instant noodles, a quick food, that doesn't have much nutrition and shouldn't be used as a staple food.

Do not overfill each meal to avoid affecting the digestive function of the stomach and intestines.

When the water temperature is too low, it should not be fed to avoid gastroenteritis. Or use a heating rod to heat the water to 24 degrees or more.

Cooked food is absolutely prohibited, salty food is prohibited, and rotten food is prohibited. It is absolutely forbidden to feed bread, rice, biscuits, ham sausages, etc. Change the water twice a week and brush the tank.

It is best to dry tap water for more than 24 hours before use. Pay attention to the temperature difference between the water temperature before and after the water change is not too large. When it's cold, don't make the temperature difference between room temperature and water temperature too large.

Please measure accurately with a thermometer. Otherwise, the temperature difference is too large, which can easily lead to colds or pneumonia.

There are also many reasons for not eating. Maybe the water temperature is too low, at least it should be heated to about 25 degrees with a heating rod, maybe it's because of a loss of appetite caused by other diseases, maybe it's a problem with the gastrointestinal function itself. These reasons should be investigated and observed one by one.

Get in the sun frequently in the morning for an hour or so to avoid sunburn. However, sick turtles should not bask in the sun.
