2. Location: Tortoise is an amphibian, which can be in water or on land. In order to make turtles grow healthily, we can add some "ground", such as putting some floating boards. Because the tortoise has a lot of activities, it's better to prepare more space for it, otherwise it will soon become lifeless.
3, lighting: turtles need regular lighting, especially small turtles. Light can promote the absorption of calcium by turtle. Without light, turtles will be short of calcium.
4. Prevention of diseases: The best way to prevent turtles from getting sick is to get enough light. In addition, changing water regularly can effectively prevent the growth of germs. There are special disinfectants on the market to disinfect fish tanks, which are used by turtles, as long as they are sprayed into the water.

Hibernation management of Brazilian tortoise;
1. Management before hibernation: When the water temperature is 22℃, human antibiotics are mixed into the bait to enhance its disease resistance during the wintering period. When the water temperature drops to 14℃, the activity of soft-shelled turtles decreases, most soft-shelled turtles sink to the bottom and stop eating, and a few soft-shelled turtles only eat a small amount. At this time, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the pool and check the turtles.
2, management in hibernation: after entering hibernation, there is no need to change water. Occasionally, if the water temperature rises above 18℃, don't feed it. During hibernation, some abnormal turtles, such as floating on the water and weak limbs, should be fished out in time and kept in isolation. When the temperature drops below 0℃, cover it with film or take other cold-proof measures.
3. Management after hibernation: With the increase of temperature, when the water temperature reaches 15℃, the soft-shelled turtles have a little activity, and some soft-shelled turtles have begun to eat. At this time, don't feed them in a hurry, wait until the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed 6℃. Before the first feeding, the pool should be cleaned and disinfected.
