How to raise turtles in hibernation?

Turtles must hibernate in winter. Unless heated, in warm places, you can generally hibernate with sand, coconut soil or sawdust. Hibernation should be kept moist and the ambient temperature should not be too low.

First, control the temperature The reason why turtles hibernate is because the temperature is low in winter and the metabolism is slow, so they can't find food, so they will choose this way to reduce consumption and spend the winter. Generally, they hibernate when the temperature is below 10℃ and wake up when the temperature reaches 15℃. Therefore, the temperature must be controlled during hibernation to ensure that it will not be higher than 10℃, and it is best to control it around 10℃.

Second, the hibernating materials should be clean, not rotten and deteriorated, and in addition, they should be kept wet. Many hibernating deaths are caused by being too dry.

3. Precautions Before the tortoise hibernates, it needs to get good nutrition, so that it has enough energy to spend the winter. At the same time, about two weeks before hibernation, it is necessary to stop feeding and let it enter hibernation. In the last two or three days, it is soaked in warm water to empty its intestines. If there is residue in its intestine, it may suck away its nutrients and even cause intestinal obstruction.

Fourth, the ambient temperature should not be too low during hibernation.

The temperature must be kept above 10 degree,

If it is below 0 degrees, the tortoise will freeze to death.

This must also be noted.
