What environment is a tortoise suitable for hibernation in winter?

It can be given sand to hibernate.

But I still recommend that you use cotton gauze, which is soft and warm.

All you need to do is put a layer underneath it, then put your cute little turtle inside, and put a layer on top of it.

But when you take it to the sun for half a month, use warm water to make it relax its body, pass stool, and eat some food after defecation.

Is it a water turtle or a tortoise The tortoise spreads sand, and if you don't want it to hibernate, put a heating blanket for 15 yuan a piece.

If you want to hibernate a water turtle, you will not hibernate if you put a heating rod in the water, and if you want it to hibernate, just put it indoors to ensure that the water is clean!

in the water. Turtles need to be put in water for hibernation, and the tortoise hibernation period is about November to April of the following year, when the temperature is below 15, and it gradually stops eating, and it begins to enter the hibernation period. You can't leave the water when hibernating, otherwise you will lose water and get sick and die.

In the hibernation period, the pond temperature should not be too high, 0-5, so that the turtle is not very active and reduces the consumption of physical energy.

If the temperature is too high, the turtle is constantly active, which consumes a lot of physical energy. During this time, the turtle also needs to bask in the sun, the temperature of the pond should not be too low, and the water can be deepened when it is frozen. Water changes can be done with as little or no change as possible.

1.The terrarium provides a comfortable environment. Tortoises need to keep a warm environment at all times during the winter, and for tortoises, you can prepare some dry leaves in the terrarium, or you can replace them with loose newspapers, and sprinkle some water on the newspapers every few days to keep the environment moist.

For Brazilian tortoises, the terrarium can be set up as a semi-aquatic structure, and at the same time, it is necessary to add water to the terrarium frequently to keep it moist; 2.Turtle lamps provide nutritional support. For tortoises, sunlight is the best source of light.

It is recommended that the owner take the turtle outdoors to bask in the sun on a sunny afternoon, and at the same time, in order to ensure that the turtle can take in enough nutrients, it is necessary to place a special lamp for reptiles at home, which can increase appetite, and the two have a very important impact on the turtle's absorption of calcium;

3.When the temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius, the turtle slowly goes into hibernation. During the entire hibernation period, the turtle's head, tail, and limbs will be tucked into the shell, and its eyes will be closed, and it will not eat, move, or even defecate, and will not move until it is stinging.

The suitable temperature for tortoises to hibernate is between 1 and 10 degrees Celsius. Above 10 degrees Celsius, it will cause the turtle to wake up, and consume physical strength, resulting in a decline in the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of the next year. A hibernation period, repeated awakening, can also lead to the death of the turtle, below 0 degrees Celsius, can also cause the turtle to have frostbite, or even freeze to death of the turtle.

Therefore, the artificial setting of the hibernation place of the turtle must take into account the factor of temperature change, and the turtle should be placed in coconut soil or sand when hibernating. According to the environmental requirements, the temperature requirements need to be controlled at about 2 to 6 degrees Celsius to prevent the turtle from waking up during the hibernation period.

Humidity requirements: During the hibernation period of the turtle, it is necessary to maintain a certain humidity to prevent the shell of the turtle from drying out and cracking.

In winter, the metabolic function of animals will slow down, and during the hibernation period, these animals will stay in the nest without eating or moving, or rarely move, and the number of breaths will be reduced, up to 10 minutes at a time, greatly reducing the energy requirement to maintain the minimum life; Blood circulation becomes very slow, the heart beats slowly, and the heart function is greatly reduced.

In this way, blood circulation disorders are effectively prevented; The metabolism is very weak, the urine output is reduced, so the nutrients consumed are relatively reduced, and when the nutrients stored in their bodies are almost exhausted, the hibernation is over.

Turtle hibernation precautions.

Before hibernation: The first thing to do is to determine if your tortoise can hibernate. Whether the turtle has been eating, defecating, and active well before. Whether the weight is within the normal range according to his size. Whether there are other diseases, whether the carapace, stomach, respiratory tract, etc. are normal.

Prepare for hibernation: As temperatures get cooler, turtles generally start to stop eating on their own. Generally, 1 to 2 weeks without food, let the turtle empty the poop in the body.

Pay attention to the state of the turtle during the 1 to 2 weeks, and if there is also an abnormality or lack of energy, it is best not to let the turtle continue to hibernate.

The best time for turtles to stay in hibernation is three or four months, and turtles in the wild generally stay in hibernation for a longer time, but under captive conditions, appropriately shortening the hibernation time will not adversely affect their health.

Turtles do not need to be fed while hibernating. Keepers should check the health of hibernating turtles at most once a month, and do not let weak or sick turtles hibernate as they do not have enough fat to consume during hibernation.

1.Baby turtles hibernate.

First of all, turtles are ectotherms, and their lives are closely related to the climate, and when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, the turtles stop eating and enter hibernation.

Secondly, hibernation does not mean that the baby turtle sleeps all winter like other animals, it will be active during the day when the weather is good, but in the winter it will not eat even if it does not sleep.

2.Turtles hibernate every year, with signs of hibernation when the temperature drops below 15 degrees. It hibernates in late autumn and early spring, around the end of October to early April.

They will have frequent predation before hibernation, which is in preparation for their own hibernation. So before the turtle shows signs of hibernation, we need to increase the amount of food and feed foods with high protein content, such as small dried fish, small shrimp, lean meat, etc., twice a day to help it store enough fat for winter.

3.Many tortoises hibernate in sand and dirt, so when it is about to hibernate in a state of hibernation, it should be prepared with sand and dirt, and then covered with crumpled clumps of waste newspaper. After waking up from hibernation, the turtle should not be fed immediately, and after two or three days, an appropriate amount of nutritional medicine can be mixed into the food for feeding, and then gradually increase the feeding amount to return to the normal feeding state.

4.When the temperature drops below 13, the turtle begins to hibernate, and throughout the wintering period, the head and tail limbs are retracted into the shell, the eyes are closed, and the turtle does not move or excrete until it emerges. If the environment is not right, it is difficult to sting.

The hibernation temperature of the tortoise is between 1-10 is suitable. Higher than 10 is likely to cause the turtle to wake up, thereby consuming physical strength, resulting in a decline in the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of the turtle in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period can also cause the death of the turtle.

Temperatures below 0 will frostbite the tortoise or even freeze it to death.
