Why do Brazilian tortoises get white eye disease when they are raised dry?
soak it in clean water quickly, the water level is higher. At least pass it several times at the end, so as to see whether it floats and the degree of overdraft. There is also a common misunderstanding in breeding ~! That is, some people think that even a basin of water will drown turtles at the feeding level, which is too far off the mark. For water turtles like Brazil, they inhabit rivers and lakes in nature. The artificially raised water level is insignificant for it, and it is not as deep as a pond. Be careful not to soak it directly with cold water from the tap water pipe ~! That turtle can't stand it. The water temperature is similar to or slightly warmer than that of Liangbaikai. After being put into the water, it will gradually wake up, not just the head that is so hard to be tightened as it is now. At that time, the eyes can open normally and move, which means it is not white eye disease. If it can't sink into the water and float in the water as usual, it means that the tortoise's body has been seriously overdrawn. If it is not heated and fed in time for rescue, it will not survive. Turtle is even more dangerous if it is still a small turtle. Moreover, if it is properly raised, the small turtle can't hibernate blindly, which can't guarantee the survival rate of the turtle. If the turtle has just been raised, it is the first winter. You can't hibernate blindly for the winter, especially when the turtle is still young. Even adult turtles have strict requirements for hibernating for the winter. Make sure you are very strong ~! If you are a big turtle that has just been raised for a long time, you can't hibernate at will if you don't fully understand it, especially for a small turtle, otherwise you can't guarantee the survival rate in winter. It's necessary to use special heating rods for aquarium to heat and raise them for the winter.
It's already December, and it's time to catch up with the winter, so we should quickly equip the turtle tank and the tools for heating and raising them. Only in this way can it eat on time and spend the winter safely. Keep the water temperature at 25 degrees with a heating rod, and feed it on time all winter to ensure it passes through the winter smoothly.
When the water temperature is about 25 degrees, the turtle eats and is very active. When the water temperature is about 2 degrees, eating is more negative, which is very different from that when the water temperature is about 25 degrees. At 16-17 degrees, most turtles stop eating. When the temperature is 13-14 degrees, it enters a state of lethargy, and the turtle's spirit and activity are basically gone. Once the temperature drops, turtles will go into a state of consumption, so this is why many turtles with weak constitution can't survive the winter.
I don't know why the Brazilian tortoise is wrapped in a dry cloth. Is it necessary to hibernate like this? If you really want to hibernate like this, then by the time you wake up in the spring, the turtle will have become a mummy ~! Correct daily feeding and hibernation are the most basic common sense problems to master. For all aquatic turtles like Brazil, it is very dangerous to keep dry for several days without entering the water, and the turtle's body will be seriously dehydrated and overdrawn, which is very painful. A water turtle like Brazil, living in the natural environment in the area of lakes and rivers, can't leave the water at all. Even the basic food to maintain its livelihood must be swallowed by water. In addition to tortoises and half-jersey turtles, water turtles like Brazil must eat in the water ~! It is impossible to eat on land, so this determines that they can't leave water at all, and the waterless environment is not suitable for raising it ~! Even artificial breeding should follow its physiological characteristics. Brazil is a water turtle by nature, and it is impossible for turtles to be healthy if they are kept dry without water on weekdays. Not to mention all aquatic turtles like Brazil, even tortoises and half-ze turtles can't stand it. Even if tortoises and semi-tortoises hibernate, they should keep proper humidity at all times, or they will be dehydrated to death. Usually, they should be fed with enough water temperature and nutrition every day so that tortoises can be healthy. Plus the dry weather in winter, there is no water to put it.
Even if it hibernates, the Brazilian tortoise in the natural environment hibernates in the crevices and the sediment at the bottom of the river, instead of going ashore and drilling into the sand. The weather in winter is very dry, so the humidity is not easy to control and it is not suitable for them. Let alone wrap it in dry cloth for the winter.
For all aquatic turtles like Brazil, hibernating in clean water is the safest way to spend the winter, which is also the way for them to hibernate in nature. They are artificially put into sand, boxes or other places, and the humidity is not suitable for control, so they are easy to die. Wrapped up like this, turtle's body will be dehydrated and seriously overdrawn. Careful daily feeding and clean turtles that ensure water quality will not have white eye disease at all. Dry cultivation will not only prevent white eye disease, but will still cause white eyes.
turtle has just been raised, and it is the first winter. You can't hibernate blindly for the winter, especially when the turtle is still young. Even adult turtles have strict requirements for hibernating for the winter. Make sure you are very strong ~! If you are a big turtle that has just been raised for a long time, you can't hibernate at will if you don't fully understand it, especially for a small turtle, otherwise you can't guarantee the survival rate in winter. It is necessary to heat and raise them for the winter with a special heating rod for aquarium.
If the turtle can't open its eyes after being put into water with a suitable temperature, it is really suffering from white eye disease. We need to take treatment immediately. Otherwise, the tortoise will die of illness. If it goes against the natural habitat of the Brazilian tortoise for a long time, it will always be kept dry, which will easily cause its resistance to decline. If you still can't open your eyes in suitable water, and it's white eye disease, I'll add an answer.
I hope your turtle is healthy ~!
