    No, the tortoise hibernates in the silt at the bottom of the pond or in loose soil covered with straw, does not eat or move, and hibernates, at this time its metabolism is very slow and weak.

    Turtles are ectotherms.

    Life is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. From November to March, when the temperature is below 10, hibernation begins.

    It is not until the beginning of April, when the temperature rises above 15, that the turtles begin to resume their activity and feed in large quantities Therefore, there is no need to feed or change the water during the hibernation period, and the main work during this period is to keep warm, such as covering the area around the pool and the open space between the pool and the fence with straw; Prevent the invasion of natural enemies of turtles.

    Raising it in water in winter will disturb its hibernation. You can put him on top of the damp yellow sand and keep it moist to facilitate his breathing. Or make a small hill with yellow sand on one side of the pool, so that it can climb up in the water in case it doesn't want to bask in the sun, and take care to prevent freezing.

    Semi-dry cultivation is to soak in water 3 times a day for about 15 minutes each time, the water temperature can be warm to the touch of your hand, the breeding box must be covered with a small slit to breathe can play a role in heat preservation If there is no warming rod, soak the water for 15 minutes and it will be cold Take out the turtle Dry and put it in the breeding box Wait for the next soaking Pay attention to the water temperature Be careful of the turtle catching a cold Method 2aBottom heating: The heating pad can be placed under the cylinder, so as to avoid the baby turtle from being electrocuted due to the bursting of the electric heating rod.

    Suitable for shallow water small tank environment) bWater heating: It is easier to place an electric heating rod in the water, but this has a disadvantage, the water can not be too shallow.

    If the water is too shallow, you can also use the method of setting the cylinder: the large cylinder is heated, and the small cylinder is placed in the heated large tank. c.

    Air heating: Spotlights or ceramic heaters are good choices, but they require a relatively closed environment. The two methods can be combined with a lid to prevent and control pneumonia in small turtles; In order to avoid unnecessary turtle boiling, you can consider configuring temperature control, which will be safer.

    Whether the turtle should release water in winter mainly depends on whether the turtle is hibernating in the water, if it is definitely to release the water and ensure that the water quality is clean, and change the water in time after it is dirty. Turtles that are not in the water but hibernate in the sand should not be put in the water.

    First of all, the life span of a turtle is very long, and it will not end its life.

    I haven't encountered this situation, every winter I leave some water in the turtle tank, but also because I put the turtle tank on the balcony to get the sun, so my turtles do not hibernate, I just heard my colleague say that his turtles spend the winter, he is put in a basin with no water, covered with a towel, the turtle hibernates, shrinking in the shell and not eating or moving, will your turtles be the same?But floating on the water?It's a bit mysterious.,Could it be that you haven't woken up?

    If it's a water turtle, like the Brazilian face, put it indoors and put it on your back.

    If you are a semi-water turtle, you can use muddy water or coconut soil (coconut soil can make it easier for turtles to hibernate in and put it indoors). If the temperature drops below 15 degrees, the turtle hibernates.

    If the indoor temperature is always higher than 15 degrees in the heating room, the turtle will not hibernate, and the turtle will eat above 23 degrees.

    If the turtle is weak, try not to let them hibernate, the temperature must be above 23 degrees, so that the turtle can continue to eat, you can combine the actual situation of the indoor temperature, buy a heating rod, and ensure the temperature at all times.

    If the tortoises are strong and have survived for a year, let them hibernate, put them in an outhouse, keep the temperature between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius, and prepare muddy water or coconut soil for them to sleep.

    Don't let the temperature be high or low, if it is more than 10 degrees, the turtle can neither sleep nor eat, and there will definitely be something wrong after a long time.

    If the turtle is raised at home, if it is a tortoise, it does not need to add water, and it can be bathed regularly. If it is a water-dwelling turtle, such as a Brazilian turtle, a grass turtle, a flower turtle, etc., you need to pay attention to the following points: deep turtles breathe with their lungs, so you must pay attention to the water should not be too deep, usually just cover the back, or when the turtle stretches its neck, the nostrils can be exposed to the water surface to breathe.

    Turtles need to swim to the surface to breathe and consume physical strength. Especially if the water is too deep, the turtle seedlings will always swim on the surface of the water to ensure breathing, which will cause physical exhaustion and risk drowning after a long time. The terrestrial turtle breeding container is larger, which can create a water and land environment for the turtle, that is, the easy one-third is land, and two-thirds is water.

    The water level of the turtle raised in this way can be appropriately deepened, but it is also good that the turtle can breathe without swimming. Deep-water turtle farming should pay attention to the addition of filtration systems. For smaller containers, you can put a sunning stone in the water that is slightly above the surface of the water, and the stone should not be too rough to prevent the turtle's limbs and abdominal armor from wearing.

    The size of the stone should be one and a half to two times the size of the tortoiseshell. If there is no filtration system for changing the water, the water should be changed after feeding every day, especially in the high temperature season, the turtle excretes more after feeding, and the food residue is very easy to deteriorate and pollute the water quality. It is best to use mountain spring water for water change, followed by well water, and tap water should be dried for two days before use.

    There should be no temperature difference when changing the water, otherwise the turtle is prone to colds and even pneumonia.

    In winter, the turtle does not need to release water, and in winter the turtle will go into hibernation, and the keeper only needs to prepare sand for the turtle. Breeders also only need to moisten the sand.

    Turtles do not hibernate in the water, which can easily cause them to freeze to death. The turtle will make a hole in the sand and burrow into the hole to hibernate, and the sand will keep the turtle warm.

    Breeders only need to cover the wet towel in the sand and change it every three to five days. Keeping the environment moist while the turtle hibernates will allow the turtle to hibernate smoothly.

    The turtle will not die in the water in winter, but the water temperature must not be lower than 17. When the water temperature drops below 15, the turtle goes into hibernation. In winter, it is recommended to place a heating rod in the container to control the water temperature above 15 to prevent the turtle from hibernating.

    It is recommended that keepers place the turtle in the sand to hibernate to avoid the turtle from freezing to death due to the low temperature.

    Turtles will not die in the water in winter, but the water temperature must not be lower than 17. When the water temperature drops below 15, the turtle will enter hibernation, and if the water temperature is too low, the turtle will freeze to death.

    When the turtle is placed in the water for hibernation, Junshan can place a heating rod in the water to control the water temperature above 17 to prevent the turtle from entering a state of hibernation. Turtle feeding should also be stopped and the water should be changed every 20 days.

    Keepers are advised to hibernate in the sand and to water the sand regularly to keep the sand moist. In winter, when the temperature is cooled well, the sand can play a good role in keeping warm, so as to prevent the turtle from freezing to death because the temperature is too low.
