Can Brazilian tortoises be heated and fed?

Hello, I also have two Brazilian turtles.

I think it is very wrong for you to do this, because the Brazilian tortoise has high requirements on water temperature, and it is easy to cause painful diseases such as turtle pneumonia and gastroenteritis (especially the temperature difference before and after eating is more than 5 degrees).

I suggest you use a stainless steel heating rod, which has the advantage that there is no danger of bursting; You can set the temperature control yourself; When the water temperature reaches the set temperature, it will automatically cut off the power supply and immediately heat the water to ensure that the temperature difference is less than 2 degrees; Not expensive. Only twenty dollars ...

I wish I had a thermometer. The picture shows my turtle's nest. There is a heating rod below (with a protective cover outside), a thermometer in the upper right corner (without liquid, for fear that the turtle will be damaged), and a shelter was just changed in the upper left corner yesterday ~

The best temperature for raising turtles is 25 -28 degrees, and the temperature difference must be small.

I also have a suggestion. Don't feed once a week. It is best to feed two fish once every two days. This will help digestion, cultivate feelings and occasionally let turtles swim. After all, Brazil is a pure water turtle, isn't it ~
