When the cold winter comes, the physical fitness of Brazilian turtles will also decline, and some little Brazilian turtles with poor physique will even get sick in winter. Therefore, winter is a test season for both Brazilian turtles and Brazilian turtle farmers. As breeders of Brazilian turtles, if we fail to figure out how to raise Brazilian turtles in winter, we may not be able to let Brazilian turtles spend the winter safely. Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand the precautions for breeding Brazilian turtles in winter. Let’s learn together.
First, we should take good cold prevention measures. The ability of Brazilian turtles to resist the cold is not weak. Generally speaking, we only need to ensure that the water temperature is above four degrees Celsius. That is to say, if we feed Brazilian turtles in the feeding box, there is no problem, but if we feed Brazilian turtles in the outdoor pool, we should timely move the Brazilian turtles to the indoor environment when cooling down.
Second, let the Brazilian turtle bask in the sun. The Brazilian turtle is an animal that likes the sun very much. Therefore, when the sun is bright in winter, we can let the Brazilian turtle bask in the sun. Don’t look at the lazy appearance of the Brazilian turtle at ordinary times. It is not sensitive to external stimuli, but the sun will make the Brazilian turtle particularly happy.
Third, we should give the Brazilian tortoise “food supplement”. Since the Brazilian tortoise fed at home can’t get rich food like the Brazilian tortoise living in the wild, we also need to give the Brazilian tortoise “food supplement” in winter. The specific way is to give the Brazilian tortoise more food rich in calcium and vitamins during feeding. For the little Brazilian tortoise, they like to eat small fish, shrimp and other foods, Most adult Brazilian turtles are vegetarians. They prefer to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, so we should feed them according to their hobbies.
Raising Brazilian turtles is indeed a “technical job”, and it is even more difficult to make Brazilian turtles survive the winter healthily. However, as long as we reserve relevant knowledge in advance and pay attention to observation, it is not difficult to raise Brazilian turtles and make them survive the winter smoothly. I hope the above introduction can help you!
