How to raise a turtle in autumn How to raise a baby turtle in winter?

The water level is kept at about 2 cm, and it is normal for turtles to eat less in autumn, so it is appropriate to feed less.

1. The correct tonic season:

The correct tonic season should be in summer, summer is the time when the turtle is the most active, the turtle eats a lot in the summer, and the physical energy consumption is also more, so it is necessary to feed more.

From September, the temperature difference between day and night begins to widen, and many people are still used to feeding after work or at night, which is very easy to burden the turtle's intestines.

The best time to feed at this stage is around 10-12 o'clock during the day, when the temperature can help the turtle blood circulation and promote digestion.

3. Correct feeding frequency:

Entering October, the temperature varies across the country, when the maximum temperature is lower than 20 degrees, it is not recommended to feed in the north, and you can prepare for hibernation.

Turtle friends in the south can also choose a day to feed. But even if it's feeding, it should be controlled to about 2 times a week.

4. The right food choice:

By this time, it is already possible to begin preparations for the hibernation of the tortoise.

Stop feeding fish, shrimp, and insects that are difficult to digest.

During this period, the water turtle mainly had a small amount of turtle food, and the semi-water turtle mainly had fruits and vegetables.

Observe the turtle every day, if you are sick, you should be timely if you have rotten skin and rotten armor, and don't let the turtle spend the winter with illness.

4. Preparation for colon cleansing before hibernation:

If the turtle wants to survive the winter safely, it must clear the intestines of the turtle. Generally fast, do not feed any food for two weeks.

If the intestines are not cleared, the turtle's poop will cause rectal blockage, which will directly lead to hibernation and death.

The method of colon cleansing is very simple, stop feeding 1 week in advance, and let it pass naturally in more sunlight.

You can choose a constant temperature blister to increase the blood circulation of the turtle, wait for the excretion to be completed, and then gradually cool down to hibernation.

5. Check your body to prepare for hibernation:

By mid-to-late November, the average daily temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius.

Check that the turtle is healthy and you can start hibernating.

During this time, because the temperature has not yet reached the official hibernation, the turtle will keep crawling, which is a normal phenomenon.

At this time, you can't feed anymore, don't let the turtle and turtle be ruined because of a moment of ignorance and soft-heartedness.

Koike Turtle Farming: Autumn is coming, the weather is cool, what problems need to be paid attention to in autumn turtle raising.

1.Nourish with soft water (i.e. plain water).

2.Give it nutritious food (fish, shrimp, raw pork).

3.After feeding it, it is best to change the water immediately, especially when feeding pork, pork will form a layer of oil film on the water surface after soaking for a long time, and the turtle will be bad for the eyes after soaking for a long time, you will see that there is a white film on its eyes, just give it some eye drops at this time. (If it doesn't get better, remember to take it to the doctor!)

4.Don't let it soak in water all the time, just half of its body.

5.Change the water once a day.

6.It is very important to stick to it every day and cultivate feelings!

7.When you have free time, you can bask in the sun or swim in the big tank.

8.When changing the water, remember to use water to flush it, if the water quality is not good, with a strong smell of bleach, it is best not to use.

You can raise it as you want, as long as you don't raise it to death.

1. Qualitative, feed feed as far as possible to choose fresh feed, even if you don't use fresh feed, you have to use quality assurance turtle feed, not to feed rotten and spoiled feed.

2. Positioning, many farmers still like to throw the feed directly into the turtle pond water, which is easy to cause water quality to deteriorate, and it is easy to cause waste of feed. The best way is to set up a food table and set up a food farm, which has the advantage of allowing the turtle to feed in a centralized manner and can disinfect the food field specifically, while also improving the feed utilization.

3. Timing, for autumn turtle breeding, generally speaking, you can feed 2 times a day, and the time can be arranged between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning and between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

4. Quantitatively, because the temperature is gradually getting cooler, the turtle's activity is not large, that is, the consumption is not large, so the amount of feed should be flexibly grasped according to the turtle's feeding activity and the type of feed fed, and it is not necessary to be too much. In general, the amount of feed in the fall is 4% of the turtle's body weight6 is fine.

Raising turtles in winter is mainly to consider the living habits and eating habits of turtles, and ensure the comfort of the hibernation environment.

Like many animals in nature, it needs to hibernate. So in winter, it doesn't eat or drink. Turtles, on the other hand, need to eat a lot of food before winter.

If the turtle does not have enough food, the turtle may starve to death in winter.

However, during the winter months, the turtle does not eat or drink, it sleeps all the time, and we do not know if it is alive or not. What to do? If you want to determine whether the turtle is alive in winter, you need to increase the water temperature, you can soak the baby turtle in water at about 30 degrees Celsius, and see if the turtle can move.

If you can't move, you're probably dead.

When the turtle is going to hibernate, you also need to give the turtle a very warm and comfortable "bed" so that the turtle can hibernate well. The "bed" that allows the turtle to hibernate well must be a container containing a certain capacity of river sand. Then put some paper balls on top.

It's best to cover the entire sand with a ball of paper, then you put the turtle on top and it will burrow into the sand on its own and sleep.

Turtles generally hibernate when the room temperature is around 13. At the time of hibernation. The turtle's head and limbs shrink into its shell.

Its eyes were closed. If you don't eat, drink, or move, you won't excrete. Generally, the hibernation temperature of the turtle is 1 10, if the temperature fluctuates constantly, causing the turtle to wake up, it is easy to cause the turtle to exert physical strength.

At this time, it is easy to shine as a turtle to die. So keep the room temperature within a certain range and not fluctuate too much.

When raising baby turtles in winter, you should not let the baby turtles enter hibernation, because the baby turtles are weak in physique and can easily lead to death after entering hibernation. Before entering the winter, the keeper needs to feed the baby turtle once a day to supplement the nutrients. It is also necessary to keep baby turtles in sand, which can keep the turtles warm, and they need to be watered regularly to moisten the turtles.

Keeping baby turtles in the winter should not allow them to hibernate. Baby turtles have a weak physique, and after entering the hibernation period, they are prone to not wake up and die, so the keeper needs to maintain the temperature above 15.

In addition to this, before entering the winter, the keeper needs to supplement the nutrition of the baby turtles. Keepers need to feed the baby turtles their favorite food, and increase the feeding once a day.

In winter, don't put baby turtles in the water. Keepers need to buy clean, supple sand that allows the turtle to burrow into it to keep warm, and water the turtle regularly to moisten it.

Turtles are dried in winter.

The tortoise cannot be released into water in winter, and it will disturb its hibernation if it is raised in winter. 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 breeding is to soak the water 3 times a day for about 15 minutes each time, the water temperature to your hand to touch the temperature can be, the breeding box must be covered, the cover should be left with a small slit for ventilation, can play a role in heat preservation, no heating rod, soak in 15 minutes of water is almost cold, take out the turtle, dry in the breeding box, wait for the next soaking water, pay attention to the water temperature.

Introduction to the turtle

Turtles are a very old class of reptiles, and their ancestors appeared on Earth as early as 100 million years ago. They have witnessed the prosperity and decline of dinosaurs, the evolution and prosperity of birds, the origin and prosperity of mammals, the development and glory of human civilization, and witnessed all the vicissitudes of life in the world.

Turtles are a class of animals that evolved from the early primitive turtles, and turtles and turtles are collectively referred to as turtles and turtles.

There are more than 300 species of turtles and turtles in the world, which are divided into two groups: side-necked turtles and curve-necked turtles, which taxonologically belong to the suborder and the curve-necked turtle suborder under the order Turtles and Turtles, respectively.

As the name suggests, the neck of the side-necked turtle can only be sideways and hidden under the shell, and the head cannot be retracted into the shell, which belongs to the more primitive turtle species; The neck of the curved-necked turtle can be retracted freely, and the head can be retracted into the shell, which is more advanced than the side-necked turtle.

There are few extant species of side-necked turtles, which are currently only distributed in the southern hemisphere, while the curved-necked turtles are the main members of the existing turtles and turtles, and tortoises, most freshwater turtles, sea turtles and soft-shelled turtles belong to the turtles.

Raising Brazilian tortoises in autumn should pay attention to:

It's about the same as spring. In the autumn months of September and November, the weather gets colder and the turtles eat less, but the Brazilian turtles have to store up energy and prepare for hibernation. Attention should be paid to this period:

First, it is necessary to let the turtle eat more and eat well, and should be fed nutritious and high calcium food: such as raw small fish, small shrimp, screws, earthworms, insects, worms, lean meat and other foods, not to feed cooked lean meat and fatty meat and other indigestible food, otherwise the turtle will be sick, let the turtle eat as much as possible during this period, so that the turtle can fully accumulate energy.

The second is that at this time, the turtle gradually begins to shed its shell, which requires a large amount of calcium. Therefore, try to let the Brazilian turtle bask in the sun as much as possible, which is conducive to the turtle's appetite; And use sunlight and ultraviolet rays to sterilize, reduce diseases, and focus on prevention; Increasing light exposure also replenishes the turtle with calcium.

The third is to keep the turtle tank clean and hygienic, and change the water frequently.

As usual, but with the number of feedings, some turtles will hibernate prematurely.

The frequency of feeding is reduced, and the water level is lowered by points.

How to raise baby turtles in winter, remember these points, and you are not afraid that they will die.

It depends on whether you are in the south or the north.

In the south, it is possible to follow the laws of nature, strengthen nutrition in autumn, and prepare fine river sands and let them hibernate on their own in winter.

Most people in the north choose to raise it warm, because the survival rate of overwintering and hibernation is relatively low.

Feed more meat in the fall, reserve some energy for winter hibernation or use a heating rod to adjust the temperature.
