The weather in Tianjin now, does the tortoise hibernate?

Turtles are small animals that hibernate, and their hibernation is related to temperature. Generally 1 1 hibernates in the middle and late of 10, and wakes up in March and April of the following year.

Hibernation of turtles is a relatively fragile period, and those turtles who are weak and sick are likely to stay awake. If you hibernate in a bad environment, even healthy turtles will be in danger.

Water turtle:

The first thing is to spread a layer of sand in the container, not too shallow, two or three times the height of the water turtle. You can also put a square brick or stone in the jar, and the turtle can lie on it when he wants to bask in the sun.

Moisturizing is the key link of water turtle in winter. Water turtles can't leave the water when they hibernate, otherwise they will get sick or die of dehydration. Add a certain amount of water to the container, not too much water, just touch the turtle's back. Friends in the north should also prevent the water in the container from freezing, otherwise the small water turtle may freeze to death.

During hibernation, turtles should also bask in the sun, which can sterilize and prevent diseases, but it is not suitable for direct sunlight. Find a corner, the sun will set for an hour or two every day.

Tortoise:

Compared with water turtles, the hibernation requirements of turtles are relatively simple. For domestic turtles, we can prepare a box for them, which can be a shoe box or a biscuit box, covered with a pile of fallen leaves, grass and the like, or a crumpled newspaper. If the turtle's native climate is humid and the feeding environment is dry in winter, sprinkle some water on it every few days to keep a certain humidity. But there shouldn't be too much water flooding them.

In addition, for those small turtles less than 5 cm, they are too weak to hibernate. The owner can drive them away from sleep by raising the ambient temperature.
