    No.

    Don't feed the turtle after waking up from hibernation, the turtle should not be fed immediately after waking up from hibernation, to avoid symptoms of intestinal discomfort, the turtle can only be fed after defecation, the turtle can be fed with meat with higher protein content after waking up to supplement physical strength, about two-thirds of the normal amount can be fed after the turtle wakes up, and it needs to be dissolved in potassium permanganate after waking up. Turtles hibernate, and the turtle will enter hibernation when the temperature is below 10 degrees, and during this period it will not eat or drink, and will always sleep in its shell. Turtles hibernate to reduce their own energy.

    Turtles will stop eating while they are hibernating. Turtles do not exercise when they hibernate and generally have their eyes closed. The time of hibernation of turtles is generally from around October to March of the following year, and the temperature of hibernation is below 15 degrees.

    If the temperature is above fifteen degrees all the time, then the turtle will not hibernate.

    Turtles and tortoises wake up in hibernation and cannot feed. Because the tortoise does not wake up completely from hibernation, but temporarily wakes up due to the increase in temperature. The consequences of feeding at this time are:

    The food is in the stomach of the turtle, and the turtle is in a state of hibernation, the physiological activity is extremely slow, the food can not be digested, and after a long time, the food will rot and deteriorate in the intestines, breeding bacteria, causing the turtle to get gastrointestinal diseases.

    If you want to end hibernation, 17 degrees is not enough. In the case of terrapines, the water temperature must reach 28 degrees. Turtles that wake up from hibernation cannot be fed immediately, but should rest for 3-7 days until they have completely awakened and adapted to the environment and temperature before feeding.

    Remember: above 35 degrees, heat stroke or death; Above 25 degrees, lively; Above 20 degrees, normal; 15-20 degrees, sluggish, quiet, eat less; below 15 degrees, shallow hibernation; below 10 degrees, deep hibernation; Below 0 degrees, permanent hibernation (dead).

    The symptoms of a tortoise cold are: breathing with the mouth open, eating little or not eating. Lack of energy, not fond of moving.

    In severe cases, they screamed, could not sink into the water, and were tested in the water. It is mainly caused by too large a temperature difference. As soon as it was cold and hot, it caught a cold.

    For example, the temperature difference between air and water is too large, for example, the temperature difference between new water and old water is too large, and so on.

    Friend, I know you love your turtle very much, but your actions are too dangerous for turtles, especially young turtles. Once you get sick, the mortality rate is high. Hibernating turtles, don't bask in the sun!

    There is also a process of awakening, you can first move from outdoor to indoor, then from a dark place to a bright place, and then use a heating rod to adjust the temperature and slowly increase the temperature of the water.

    I like turtles very much, I have a lot of turtles, some experience, and I am very willing to share it with you.

    You must wake up in the sun!

    Hibernation is dependent on the temperature of 3-13 degrees that you put in the refrigerator in the summer and also hibernate.

    In the winter, you put the heating on it, and you definitely don't hibernate!

    Now in the South, it's basically time to end hibernation!

    Your hibernation ended a little early.

    Pay attention to the temperature difference and don't catch a cold!

    **] During the hibernation period, the humidity in the turtle house is large, the temperature is low, and the temperature changes greatly; In summer, the temperature of the turtle house is high and muggy, and the temperature drops suddenly.

    Symptoms] The nose of the diseased turtle has nasal fluid discharge, which becomes pus and thick in the later stage, the breathing sound is loud, and there is white mucus on the side of the turtle's mouth or water surface, and the terrestrial turtle likes to drink water, and the amount is large.

    When the animals are hibernating, we don't need to feed the animals, and the baby turtles also need to hibernate, and we don't need to feed the turtles any food when the baby turtles are hibernating. Generally, after the turtle wakes up for a day, we can choose to feed the baby turtle, and some turtles are in a state of false awakening. If the weather does not reach more than 20 degrees, then the awakening of the turtle is only an illusion, and after waking up, it will still fall asleep immediately.

    Therefore, the owner does not need to disturb the tortoise, and let the tortoise continue to hibernate. <>

    When we find that the turtle is just struggling to earn its eyes, then at this time, the owner must not disturb the turtle, otherwise it will also interrupt the tortoise's hibernation. The tortoise will wake up for a short time after the weather gradually warms up, and the owner will not need to disturb the tortoise at this time. We don't have to manage it, but we can choose to feed the turtle some food if we find that the turtle is moving and looking for food, but if the turtle only wakes up for a short time and falls asleep immediately, the owner should not disturb the turtle.

    The turtle will enter hibernation after the temperature is low, so the owner also needs to know that when the turtle is hibernating, the surrounding temperature can not be too low, if the temperature is too low, it will easily lead to the death of the turtle. In addition, before the turtle hibernates, we need to prepare more small shrimp for the turtle to let the turtle supplement calcium, so that the turtle will not be malnourished when it hibernates.

    Although the life span of a turtle is very long, if you raise a turtle in the wrong way, it will also cause the turtle to die quickly. Especially the tortoise hibernating, if the hibernation is better, then, the tortoise will grow strongly, but if the hibernation process is not very good, the tortoise will die, the owner should not disturb the tortoise during the tortoise hibernation period, but it should be noted that the temperature of the tortoise tank must be ensured.

    1. The turtle that has just woken up is sluggish, resulting in not eating.

    The tortoise has just woken up and has a dull sense of taste, silly, at this time you can take something to quickly replenish fat, fat, lean meat, cut into small pieces, shake in front of their eyes, and soon the tortoise will slowly eat. After that, all you have to do is chop the meat or something, chop it into small pieces, and throw it into the water, just like before.

    2. Put the turtle in warm water.

    Turtle feeding is largely dependent on the temperature of the water. To control the temperature of the water, you only need to be hotter than the cool water, and the best way is to put the turtle in the sun-dried water.

    3. Raise turtles that don't eat with turtles that have a strong appetite.

    Animals have imitative behavior, and if the turtle refuses to eat, it may be driven by other turtles to eat. The tortoise hibernation consumes all the calories it used to have, and once it is used up, it will die, because the tortoise that does not eat after the deadline must find a way to make it eat.

    Turtle hibernation after the awakening of nutrition supplement in the turtle into hibernation 1-2 months before the turtle into hibernation, the owner will concentrate on supplementing its nutrition, in preparation for its hibernation period can not eat physical exertion, even if the turtle's physical consumption during this period has been minimal, but after all, the time is relatively long, the turtle will inevitably become thinner, from the hibernation of the turtle, the first thing the owner thinks of must be supplemental nutrition, but in fact, the supplement nutrition must not be in a hurry, pay attention to step by step, to avoid damage to the turtle's digestive system.

    If the turtle hibernates in a relatively dry environment, after it is completely awake, the turtle should be put into clean water to swim for a day or two to allow the turtle to fully absorb the water and defecate thoroughly. Once the turtle has defecated, it is time to start feeding.

    The first feeding after hibernation should be given high-energy food to restore the turtle's physical energy, but the first feeding should not be too full, about two-thirds of the normal amount of food.

    After the turtle wakes up from hibernation, the environment of the turtle is thoroughly cleaned to remove the cold items and other excess items and garbage during the tortoise's winter, so as to provide an excellent environment for the turtle to carry out normal activities in spring and summer.

    After the temperature rises in spring, bacteria often begin to breed and flourish, and many turtles are weak and resistant after waking up in spring, and they are prone to ** and carapace diseases. In order to eliminate germs, the turtle can be soaked in potassium permanganate solution after the first feeding to disinfect and sterilize.

    Turtles can be fed 3-5 days after hibernation.

    They wake up from hibernation with a fragile stomach and stomach that they rarely eat, even when they are fed.

    If the keeper feeds them food immediately, it may cause the turtle to develop gastrointestinal diseases.

    Keepers can let the turtles acclimatize to the outside environment first, and wait for them to defecate before trying to feed them. If the turtle still doesn't eat, you can wait a few days before feeding.

    1. Wash the body: After the turtle wakes up from hibernation, you can clean up their body first. Clean up any mud or dirt from the crevices of their bodies. After they have acclimatized for a few days, they are washed and soaked with potassium permanganate solution to sterilize and disinfect.

    2. Slow heating: After the turtle wakes up from hibernation, the keeper needs to slowly raise the temperature, which can help them adapt to the external environment and reduce the discomfort caused by environmental fluctuations.

    3. Reasonable feeding: Turtles will not eat when they wake up, and the keeper can wait for them to defecate or adapt to the environment before trying to feed them.

    After the turtle wakes up from hibernation, feed them for about half a month, don't rush to feed them.

    Let them acclimatize to the environment they wake up in before they start to eat slowly and return to their normal lives. Keep the temperature between 5 and 15 degrees, don't cool it down too high or too high, and let them slowly get used to the outside temperature from hibernation.

    Take care to thoroughly clean the environment where they hibernate, and thoroughly disinfect and dispose of the items they use. In this way, you can prepare for the rest of your life and meet the hot summer. If the turtle wakes up too early, be sure to cool it down again and let it return to hibernation.

    In addition, it is best to avoid reflexive awakening throughout the hibernation period, otherwise it will consume too much physical energy and even cause it to die.

    Generally, turtles can be fed after waking up from hibernation.

    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 begins to enter the hibernation period. You can't leave the water when hibernating, otherwise you will lose water and get sick and die. Feeding can be started immediately after waking up from hibernation.

    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.

    Feeding points for turtles:

    Turtles can be fed nutritious foods such as small fish, small shrimp, screws, and raw lean 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 it will disappear and cause poor rotation and illness.

    The turtle growth period, the temperature is above 15, about 5-10 months, from the turtle to stop eating, this period is called the turtle growth time. During this time, it needs to bask in the sun, so as mentioned earlier, the ** of the pond should be littered with stones, mounds, and green spaces. During this time, you should change the water frequently, once a week.
