2021-06-27 / 996 Read

The physique of European tortoises is very strong. Perhaps the only weakness is that they are more prone to stones. Usually, it is enough to pay attention to their acid excretion to prevent their stones. Usually in the south, the acid is once every 2 or 3 days. It is normal to pay attention if it is not discharged for more than a week. At this time, you can take more baths and massage the abdomen with your fingers, or even feed some compound money grass granules to promote acid discharge. This method can be used on turtles that will stone.

How

If the European tortoises have eye disease, like white eye disease, the right eye is not very open open, with white discharge covering the whites of his eyes. Give it some ofloxacin eye drops (three times a day, if you don't want to open your eyes, take the light under the light, and then apply the eye drops when your eyes are open) and remove the white secretion with a wet cotton swab, it will heal in about a week .

There is another point because European tortoises like to dig in corners, and many corners are sanitary corners. There is a lot of dust, so it will occasionally cause nasal symptoms. When this happens, there is no need to rush to give medicine. Start with environmental sanitation, because European tortoises are more difficult to catch a cold than other tortoises, and other symptoms can be treated with other tortoises. With proper care, the European tortoise is a tortoise that can stay with you for the rest of your life, and it can live up to hundreds of years.
