Is the tortoise afraid of heat in summer?

If your turtle is a Brazilian turtle, you can be sure that it is not afraid of heat, because Brazilian turtles are tropical turtles, and most ornamental turtles are tropical turtles.

Little turtles must defecate and eat in the water.

There should be water and land in the turtle's home. The water should not be too deep, just a little higher than it, otherwise it is not conducive to the healthy growth of turtles.

When the weather is hot in summer, the metabolism of soft-shelled turtle will also be accelerated. You can consider feeding more times, but be careful not to eat too much.

Brazilian tortoise is suitable for living at 28-30 degrees. When the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it will enter the summer sleep state. When the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it will gradually enter hibernation.

The temperature difference must be controlled well, otherwise the cold will be bad.

The tortoise is actually very lively and naughty. . . . It is afraid of both heat and cold, but it still prefers warm places, as long as it is above 25 degrees.

Just raise it with your heart. A good place to live: grab a container and get some sand, while building a land and decorating the water.

As for eating, generally speaking, turtles can eat fresh fish, shrimp and lean meat. If your turtle is small, cut it with scissors. If it is bigger, you can also cut small live fish. Of course, some red nematodes, breadworms and turtles can also eat dog food, even apples, bananas and rice. The most important thing is to get used to it from an early age.

There is also a professional answer to eat.

Many profiteers who buy and sell pets recommend "special turtle food". When I got back, I found that turtles didn't like eating, or even didn't eat at all. In fact, those so-called "turtle food" are basically cheating money. In order to make money, profiteers only sell you garbage that turtles don't eat. They are eager to buy another one as soon as you die, so don't buy the so-called "turtle" recommended by profiteers when buying a turtle. Sisby red-eared turtle mainly eats meat, such as small fish, shrimp, loach, earthworm and insects. I often give a fly a snack when I kill it. Generally, newly bought turtles have weak eating ability and won't prey on live food, so you need to feed them a little at this time. Be patient when feeding it. Cut the fresh meat into mung beans, clamp them with tweezers and slowly reach the front of the turtle's nose. It will smell carefully before eating. Practice makes perfect. Generally, it is enough to feed one cigarette butt at a time. When you are young, you should feed it three or four times a week to make it adapt to the environment quickly, because it will sleep when it is hungry for a long time, while the turtle who is too young often won't wake up when sleeping, so you should feed it more to prevent it from sleeping. When it's bigger than a matchbox, you usually eat it yourself. It can put some small ones at this time. Don't put too much, or you will kill a lot but don't eat it, so the water will stink as long as it is put for one day at most, and the same is true for feeding meat. Don't waste it and don't feed it as much as possible, or it will collapse. My turtle used to tilt its head and limbs back, which is very funny. I vomited several times, showing how worthless the turtle is! Overfeeding will make turtles grow too fast. It's not fun and cute when it grows up, unless you save it for eating, hehe! I have a friend who bought a turtle with me. I ended up feeding too much. In less than two years, it grew to the size of a bowl. All the patterns on my body are gone, which is very ugly. It also makes a gasping sound, like a dinosaur. When I was that big, I could eat a basin of loach in a week, which shows its horror. So when I grow up, I can feed it once a week. It's best to feed some small fish to make its shell grow harder.

Regarding hibernation, it is best not to let newly hatched turtles hibernate for the first two years. Because hibernation is easy to get sick and consumes a lot of physical strength. For turtles that don't hibernate, measures can be taken to raise them by heating when the temperature drops in winter. For Little Red Riding Hood, you can put a thermostat in the water (generally available in ornamental fish markets).
