How to raise turtles in winter

It doesn't matter how to raise turtles in winter. As long as the temperature is comfortable and the diet is adequate, proper light can make turtles healthier. Let's share the methods of raising turtles in winter. Let's have a look.

How to raise turtles in winter 1 1? Turtles hibernate naturally. If the temperature of breeding environment is low in winter, a hibernation box can be prepared for soft-shelled turtle to keep a certain humidity. Turtles gain weight before hibernation, don't wake up during hibernation, and wake up when the temperature warms up in spring.

If the host's area is cold in winter, turtles can hibernate for the winter. Every year from June 5438- 10, turtles are fed some foods with high protein content to make them gain weight and store energy for hibernation. Every June165438+1October, the temperature begins to drop. When the temperature is lower than 15℃, the tortoise will start to hibernate.

When turtles hibernate, they should first prepare a hibernation box, spread some sawdust or dirt on it and put it in a quiet and dark corner. It should not be disturbed in daily life. Check the turtle's activities regularly and spray some water on the soil to keep the turtle's hibernation environment moist. If the tortoise is woken up during hibernation, it is bad for its health. At this time, you can directly heat the environment and wake up the turtle.

2. The environment is warming and overwintering. If the feeding environment itself is warm, a heater can be added to the feeding box to keep the water temperature at about 25℃, just like daily feeding during wintering.

In some areas, it is also warm in winter, so that turtles can not hibernate, and the feeding environment can be directly heated. The water temperature should be kept at around 25℃ (turtles can generally adapt to the environment of 22℃~30℃), and the ambient temperature should not fluctuate too much, so as to maintain the daily habits of raising turtles, such as feeding frequency and lighting time.

It doesn't matter if turtles hibernate abnormally. As long as the temperature is comfortable and the diet is adequate, proper light can make tortoise shells healthier.

How to raise turtles in winter II. The first thing to pay attention to is definitely the warm action of the tortoise in the face of cold weather in winter. As we all know, turtles belong to an animal that will fall asleep after winter and generally will not wake up from this hibernation state, so we must try our best to keep them warm. After all, they won't wake up without a big noise. Many turtles freeze to death in winter because they don't keep warm in winter. It's a pity, but there is nothing we can do.

To avoid this, we should keep the turtles warm when they start to hibernate. First of all, we should keep the temperature of the pool water, and don't let them hibernate in a cold state for a long time, which is not only bad for them, but also very harmful. So at this time, we must first ensure the temperature in the pool.

At the same time, it is necessary to prevent cold air from entering their living space. This can be done by heating the whole farm or covering the pond where turtles live with things. But remember to turn on the wind every once in a while. Although warm environment can make them live more comfortably, too dull air will make them feel very uncomfortable, which is also an important condition for turtles to spend the winter.

The second point is to feed turtles enough food before hibernation, which can last the whole winter, because turtles don't eat when they hibernate. That is to say, as a breeder, you should prepare enough things for them before hibernation to make them more solid after hibernation. This is what a mature turtle breeder should think and do.

The third point is to be diligent when they hibernate. Although you didn't have anything to feed at that time, you should change the water source for turtles every once in a while for their health. Only in this way can they live more comfortably during hibernation, which is the best result for you. It can prevent turtles from getting sick during hibernation, even if it is daily maintenance. Because turtles have very high requirements on water quality, if the water source is not changed frequently, it is easy to get sick because the water is not circulating. It is a very troublesome thing for turtles to get sick, so for their own convenience, they should always change the water source for turtles.

Last but not least, because turtles have formed a complete trading circle in the breeding industry, it is a long but necessary thing for farmers to be more careful in breeding to get the best results. Soft-shelled turtle breeding is still a popular project at present. If you want to know about turtle breeding, you must pay attention to the above three requirements. Only in this way can you minimize the loss and gain the most in the harvest season.
