There s a grass turtle at home, about the size of the palm of your hand, and now it s winter, so why

Are you in the South or in the North? What is the ambient temperature? Now the weather temperature is not warm enough, and it is normal not to move. It is recommended to spend the winter in a corner where the temperature does not change frequently.

In the north, it is recommended to put a layer of sand in the turtle's sorting box, put the turtle on it, and spread a wet towel or hay on it; In the south, dry breeding is placed in a sorting box, with or without sand to cover it, as long as the temperature does not change much, or it can also be placed in the water on the back, but there is no need to feed at present, and the turtle will not eat if the temperature is not enough, even if it does not sleep. (Don't worry, turtles don't have a problem if they don't eat for three or four months in winter).

Another situation is that the turtle is weak, sick or recovering from a serious illness, then it is recommended to warm the feeding, with the aquarium heating rod, about 25 degrees, over the back water, you can feed, pay attention not to change the water frequently or put the turtle out of the water, frequent changes in temperature can easily lead to colds and pneumonia.

You can raise it with a heating rod, or hibernate naturally; Cover the turtle with a wet towel, put it in a corner, ignore him, and add water regularly. Personally, it is recommended to use a heating rod, natural hibernation is easy to die.

How many centimeters exactly? More than 5 can safely survive the winterIt's hibernation. But to prepare for hibernation, of course, you can also warm it, it is always reluctant to move, always hiding in the corner and not moving,,, is not enough temperature.

Just put it in the tank where the turtle is raised, that is, you don't need to put a lot of water, just the water at the bottom of the tank, and let it bask in the sun occasionally.

Put it in a box, it should be breathable, put clothes you don't want or a warmer cloth at the bottom of the box, put it in, put it in one winter food at a time, let him hibernate, and then leave him alone.

Turtles can be kept in aquariums, taking care to keep the water appropriate and sufficient.

This is the hibernation period of the tortoise, you should put some sand in the tortoise basin and it will crawl into it to hibernate.

One. How to raise a turtle a, food problem If you have a turtle, you like to eat meat and fishy food. Feeding of terrapids turtles:

Nutritious foods such as small fish, shrimp, and raw meat. The baby turtle should cut the raw fish and shrimp and feed them well. Do not feed cooked lean meat, fatty meat and indigestible food.

Otherwise, you will have indigestion and will get sick. Turtles mostly eat in the water, sometimes on the shore, and can be thrown directly into the water, or they can be placed in shallow water or near the slope where the water and land meet. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head.

Do not feed when the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion. Turtles are most adapted to temperatures of 25-30 degrees, when they grow the fastest. The higher the temperature, the greater the appetite, but when the temperature is too high, the appetite decreases, and the lower the temperature, the smaller the appetite b

Water quality problems If you don't have a filter at home, it's best to change the water once a day, and feed it once a day, don't feed too much, the turtle has no satiety, and it will not digest well, resulting in swollen legs. The amount of food a turtle eats is determined by the size of each turtle's head. Turtles defecate after eating, so it is easy to get rid of the meat tank if it is not cleaned in time.

As long as the water quality is kept clean (the water quality is best exposed to the sun for more than 1 day, it can prevent the turtle's white eye disease and the water mildew, nail rot, rotting skin disease, etc.) and the constant water temperature (the water temperature is kept good, but the dry hands can be used to prevent the turtle from getting colds and pneumonia and other diseases). c.Breeding environment problems Turtles are amphibians, if they are placed in a pure water pool that is not connected to the land, they must be placed in the pool with stones, bricks and other platforms exposed to the water surface, for the turtle to dry its back and rest, the turtle likes to hide in the hole, so you can use bricks to build a turtle nest to improve the turtle's sense of security.

Turtles mostly eat in the water, sometimes on the shore, and can be thrown directly into the water, or they can place their food in shallow water or near the slope where land and water meet. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head. d.

Back tanning and hibernation problems (do not give turtles sun exposure in autumn and winter when temperatures are low).

Take a closer look at your turtle first to see if there are any injuries:

Newly bought turtles because of the long journey, the temperature changes drastically, many suffer from colds or pneumonia, can be put into relatively deep water, if the turtle can float and sink freely, it means that there is no problem. If you float but don't sink, or roll sideways, you usually have pneumonia. Foaming in the nose is usually a symptom of a cold.

Then there is the rotten skin or external injury, which should be seen by observation. If you have an injury, you should do it right away.

If there are no injuries, the turtle will need to adapt for a while due to changes in the environment. It's normal not to eat.

As for what to eat, it depends on the species of turtle, if it is a small live fish such as Brazilian, tortoise, yellowthroat, snapping turtle etc., it is good food, but it may not be able to catch all of them, so you can try to kill one first.

Regarding the water level, the turtle with a big palm is usually relatively large, and the water level can be lower than the back, and a little more is fine. However, if it is a small turtle, it is best to be flush with the quilt to prevent drowning.

You have to figure out whether it's a water turtle or a dry turtle first, and the method of feeding is completely different! Turtles can feed fish in the water, and turtles don't need to be able to feed vegetables in the water!

There are about 4 things to follow to raise a healthy turtle, and you don't say the species of your turtle, so you don't know if it's a terrabahn or a tortoise, just according to the terraptoise.

1. Water quality: The new tap water should be placed for 2-3 days, and the food residues in the filtered water should be cleaned up and replaced with new water, and the water should not be too fat and too old. Fresh water feeding is easy to white-eyed, water deterioration is easy to cause rotten skin rot nail intestinal diseases, excessive fertilizer is prone to fungi and nitrite poisoning.

2. Temperature: The suitable growth temperature of turtles is generally 25-30 degrees, stop eating less below 18 degrees, and hibernate below 8 degrees. It is necessary to pay attention to the constant temperature during feeding, and do not move the turtle back and forth in a very hot environment, such as before and after the water change, inside and outside the water, morning and evening temperature, etc.

Too much temperature difference can cause turtle colds, pneumonia, and intestinal diseases.

3. Food: Feeding food should not be fermented and deteriorated, and the food nutrition should be rich in diversity, such as small fish, small shrimp, various meat, liver, etc., and it can also be appropriately matched with fruits, and small shrimp can be fed with good color.

4. Sunlight: UVB in sunlight can help produce vitamin D3 and promote calcium absorption. Turtles that do not see sunlight will develop slowly and have poor soft nails.

These 4 points can ensure basic healthy turtle breeding, if it is to breed parent turtles, hibernation breeding, etc., etc., you need to know more. If you have any questions, you can ask them directly, and then tell us about the breed of your turtle.

Is it domestic? Buy a small turtle box at first, it's best not to leave things in it for trouble! Feed some beef slices first, tie them with toothpicks, and slowly replace them with small river fish...

At first, you can't catch it, you can cut it in training him to eat. Leave him alone when he returns the skin, and when he completes the retreat, he must be bathed! Often put it down to let him crawl but watch, at first it doesn't move and then it is active and crawls everywhere...

Take care of it Turtles like to poop just after changing the water, whirring...

You can buy a glass-glued turtle tank sold on the market The water depth is not over the turtle's back, which is the simplest breeding environment, and it is cheap and easy to make.
