In ordinary life, many partners will choose to raise some small animals as a small companion, some people will choose to raise cats, dogs, rabbits and so on, some people will choose to raise turtles, but the Brazilian turtle is the turtle inside the most ornamental value, but also a lot of turtles partners adore the species. For the novice, Brazilian turtles in the end how to raise it? Today with the editor to learn to learn it.
1. The diet of Brazilian tortoises is omnivorous, but it prefers animal bait, and under the condition of artificial rearing, it mainly takes the offal of chicken and ducks and the larvae and eggs of flies, as well as breadworms as the main food. Then with some fruits and vegetables and mixed feed as a supplement, to enhance the nutrients in the body of the Brazilian turtle. In the spring and fall, you can add vitamin E powder and antibiotics to strengthen the body of Brazilian turtles to promote the number of eggs they lay. In the usual feeding should be done at regular intervals, fixed point, quantitative, to develop a good habit, and before the turtle into the hibernation period to provide them with sufficient rich feed, is conducive to let the turtle ingest enough nutrients, hoarding fat for hibernation when there is enough fat to provide energy.
2. Brazilian tortoises need to keep the water clean and free of foreign matter, and change the water regularly. The temperature should be kept above 25℃, and the water used for replacement should be de-chlorinated, because chlorine can kill the turtles. In addition, we must not clean the bottom of the water filler such as sand, which can effectively avoid the breeding and reproduction of bacteria and pests.
3. The breeding of Brazilian tortoises should not be too intensive, and should be graded according to size. Nature’s biological chain has the phenomenon of the strongest predator, turtles are no exception, so a large number of breeding should be spaced out, more conducive to the management of more to promote their growth and development.
4. Brazilian tortoises have the habit of sunbathing but can not be pretentious long sun, so we can raise the tortoise box word placed outdoors, but can not let the tortoise in a long time direct sunlight can be exposed to the sun, the need to configure the sun-shading facilities. That in the indoor turtle can be a UV irradiation lamp, placed in the turtle box from the distance of about 30 centimeters can be irradiated for about 15 minutes a day.
In winter, the water temperature should be lowered so that Brazilian turtles can hibernate better. In winter, turtles should also be given proper sunbathing but should avoid dry sunbathing, the water in the turtle box should be not more than the turtle’s shell, and ultraviolet rays can kill the bacteria and viruses in the turtle’s shell through the water layer. Brazilian turtles in hibernation in the turtle box should be put some sand and weeds or hay, the height of grass should be higher than the turtle stand up, so as to avoid the sun and ultraviolet light irradiation makes the sand temperature becomes high, thus interfering with the turtle hibernation so that the turtle awakening, destroying the turtle’s biological clock, which will lead to the turtle’s life expectancy is shortened.
