    Turtles don't eat much after the end of October, and they go into hibernation, which depends on the temperature, and if the temperature is high, hibernation will be delayed, and vice versa. After hibernation, the turtle does not eat or drink, and its head shrinks into its shell. At this time, put it in a cardboard box, put some newspapers, rags, foam and the like in the cardboard box, it will be cold, it will naturally get into the cloth, and then put the box in a warm room.

    Of course, there are other methods, this is everyone's own way, (mine is very simple, find a towel to wrap him, sprinkle some water at any time it's OK hehe) Before hibernation, when the water temperature reaches 22 °C, mix human antibiotics in the feed to enhance the turtle's disease resistance. When the water temperature drops to 14, the activity of the turtle decreases, most of the turtles sink to the bottom of the water, stop eating, a few turtles only eat a small amount, then the pond needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and the turtle is inspected, the contents of the inspection include **, head, feces, parasites. Unhealthy turtles can not hibernate, should be selected to be raised separately, and raise the water temperature to more than 20 °C to make the turtle eat, and at the same time take corresponding measures.

    In hibernation, occasionally when the water temperature rises above 16 °C, the turtle will wake up and move, do not feed at this time to prevent the temperature from dropping at night, causing indigestion and other diseases. During the hibernation process, some abnormal turtles such as floating water and weak limbs should be fished out in time and kept in isolation. After hibernation, with the increase of temperature, the water temperature reaches about 18 °C, the turtle has a small amount of activity, some turtles have been able to forage, at this time can not be in a hurry to feed, should wait for the temperature difference between day and night water does not exceed about 6 °C before feeding, the first feeding needs to be fully changed and disinfected.

    Trouble, thanks!

    It's too cold, wild turtles can't catch food in winter, and they have little food, they hibernate in order to survive, hibernation does not consume physical strength, they will be fishy when it is warm, and then they will go to vegetarian food to find food.

    Are you feeding the kind of food that the owner of the turtle gave you? This is inedible. Not nutritious at all!

    The puppet turtles don't like to eat this junk food. It is recommended that you get some small fish and shrimp, and meat can also be used. Feed the baby turtle to a size that is suitable for it.

    If it's really a very small tortoise, then you have to be patient enough to feed it yourself, and there are occasionally three small tortoises, which are fed like this every day. Now they will eat on their own. Also, turtles and tortoises generally eat in water, so you should put more water in their homes when you let them eat, but be sure to dispose of the water after they have eaten!

    And remember to change the water in the turtle's house often! They love to be clean, too. And if you don't change it, the baby turtle is easy to get sick!

    Hehe... Let's talk about these first, and if there is anything you don't know, you can ask the couple.

The tortoise hibernate and does not die without eating, because its body can store sufficient nutrients, and the large tortoise will not starve to death after 5 months of eating. However, before the tortoise hibernates, they need to be fed protein-rich meat, vegetables and fruits to accumulate fat for the winter. Half a month before hibernation, it needs to be soaked in warm water to expel impurities produced in the body. >>>More
