The temperature is only eight degrees now. Does the little turtle hibernate?

What should turtles do when they hibernate?

Q: When does the tortoise hibernate? Don't eat when hibernating? Where did you put it? What if it crawls in the water?

A: Turtles don't eat or drink in hibernation until the following spring.

The real hibernating method is to spread thick wet sand in the container and cover it with newspaper balls. The tortoise will sleep in the sand by itself and replenish water once a week to keep the sand and newspapers moist. Hibernation is a test for raising turtles at home. First of all, you should make sure that your baby is healthy and free from diseases. Tortoise with poor constitution must not hibernate. Little turtle suggests not to hibernate, winter is very sad! You can prepare some sand for the hibernating turtle, but if it can't climb in, don't bury it by force. Soft-shelled turtles that don't hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water and covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep them moist, which also has a certain heat preservation effect. Turtles who hibernate in the sand should make sure that the sand is clean and pollution-free. Keep the sand moist during the hibernation of turtles. The tortoise may wake up during hibernation, so make sure it doesn't climb where you can't find it after waking up. In addition, turtles who wake up from hibernation must not be fed.

Generally speaking, the Brazilian tortoise began to hibernate below 15℃ and began to feed when the water temperature rose above 16℃. The cold resistance of Brazilian tortoise is ok, as long as the water temperature is not lower than 4℃, it can safely overwinter. Family breeding is generally not lower than this temperature indoors, but if it is raised on the balcony or garden pool, you should pay attention. Especially when the temperature is low at night, we must take good cold protection measures. It's best to move them indoors and put them in clean plastic pots. There is no need to drain the water in the basin. Cover the turtle with wet grass or wet towel. Usually pay attention to spray some water to keep humidity, and it will be safe in winter.

At the end of June 1 1, turtles generally don't eat. Let them take a warm bath first, then dry their bodies, prepare a small cotton pad, wrap it inside, take it out every half month (now my little turtle usually wakes up on time), let them soak in warm water to drink some water, and then put it on the bed and wait for the next time.

There are two ways to spend the winter, one is heating without hibernating, the other is hibernating. Is a completely different concept and practice. So when it gets cold, let's say it's winter instead of hibernation.

Don't hibernate to keep warm in winter, as follows:

Use a heating rod to heat the water in the turtle tank, and the water temperature should be about 26 degrees as far as possible. Regarding the water depth of heating rods, heating rods are usually completely immersed in water to operate safely. Please follow the instructions.

Heating rods usually have constant temperature function. You can adjust it to about 26 degrees, and it will automatically turn on and off according to the water temperature there, that is, it will automatically stop heating when it reaches the temperature, and it will automatically heat when the water temperature drops. The details depend on the instructions.

It is very important to put a thermometer in the water and pay attention to the change of water temperature and whether it is close to the adjusted temperature.

Pay attention to the water temperature when changing water. Sometimes the water is too cold for days. Boil the water for a while before adding it to the water tank, so that the heating rod can reach the temperature quickly.

Turtles still have a good appetite for two meals a day in winter and summer; But in fact, one meal a day or every other day should be enough.

Because the Brazilian tortoise moves around 26-27 degrees, a suitable temperature for its hibernation is around 10 to 13 degrees, which is between these two temperatures, especially around 19-22 degrees for a long time. It's not warm enough to stimulate its appetite, but it's been consuming physical strength to make the immune system work effectively, and it's not cold enough to hibernate. Very fragile, easy to get sick.

Therefore, it is best to warm them up when it is cold. If they are really allowed to hibernate, they should be kept at 10 to 13 degrees all winter. Otherwise, they can't really hibernate at all, but go in and out of hibernation repeatedly, consuming physical strength and damaging their health. Therefore, we should choose to keep them warm for the winter instead of hibernating. Especially if you are physically exhausted, don't consider hibernating.

Therefore, there are only two ways to spend the winter. One is to buy a heating rod like summer, and the other is to really hibernate, but hibernation is not a simple thing. There are many things to pay attention to, and we should make some preparations in advance.
