How are turtles generally raised??? What to do in winter? Need to hibernate?

In September, he began to supplement the turtle's nutrition and stick to the fat. Feeding is stopped about two weeks before hibernation, and the last three or four days are soaked in warm water to defecate and empty the bowels. When the domestic turtle enters hibernation, the glass container is covered with wet thick sand and covered with newspaper, and the turtle will sleep in the sand by itself, replenishing water once a week to keep the sand and newspaper moist.

Turtles that do not hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water and covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep them moist and also have a certain degree of heat preservation effect. Turtles hibernating in the sand should ensure that the sand is clean and pollution-free, and keep the sand moist during the tortoise's hibernation.

How can domestic tortoises survive the winter safely in our hands? The first method: heating rod heating for the winter with a square glass cylinder, finishing box can be, put the heating rod in the cylinder, generally about ten yuan to more than 20 yuan, 50 watts, put a layer of water inside, the water should be flooded over the heating rod, the heating rod is placed at the bottom of the cylinder, horizontally, not vertically.

Then put a stone or sunken wood in the water, sunken wood is the best, so that the seedlings can drink water, can have a platform to rest, and put a brick without stones and sunken wood. The water should be changed frequently, the water quality should be kept clean, and the water should be used after sleepiness, because most of the urban tap water contains chlorine. The baby turtles are fed more meat, and it is best to put earthworms and bread worms, this method is simple and easy, and the turtle seedlings grow rapidly.

However, because the heating rod is submerged in water, if the quality of the heating rod is not up to standard, the temperature control failure is easy to boil the turtle. If the drop in the water level is not detected in time, the situation of heating rods** will also occur from time to time, but these are small probability events. Turtle wintering Second way:

Use pet heating pads to warm up for the winter Turtle seedlings can be raised in smaller sorting boxes, and pet heating pads are heated at the bottom of the box. It's like the electric blanket we use. This method is safer than heating rods, because it is heated from the outside, and the water body is not easy to be too large, so it is not suitable for filtration.

The constant temperature is good but the heating is too slow, because there is no filtration, the water must be changed frequently, and the temperature difference is not well grasped when changing the water, and the little turtle will be easy to catch a cold, and the operation is more troublesome.

Grass turtles, if they have really been raised for a few years, then they should have been fed this year and can hibernate. Hibernation is a physiological process for turtles, but if you want to prevent it from hibernating (or can't hibernate because the turtle is sick or so on), then you have to warm it. If the temperature is low, you will definitely not eat, and you should learn about the living habits of grass turtles to help you understand and raise.

If you want to hibernate, the easiest way is to hibernate in the water, but you have to remove the stone, you can't give it up to dry, the water is twice as high as it, and then deepen the water when it gets colder. Pay attention to the water quality during hibernation, and you can follow up on the situation to change some water. Try to hibernate it in a quiet and dark environment.

Heating feeding, then you need to buy a heating rod (aquarium generally has, glass, or steel, and the wattage depends on you), you can directly set the temperature of the heating rod into the tank, or you raise the finishing box, the water must not be over the heating rod, can not let the heating rod exposed, be careful to burn out. You can also use two large cylinders and small cylinders, the heating rod is heated in the large tank with water, and the turtle is raised in the small tank, of course, water is also needed.

As for whether it is warming or hibernating, it depends on the state of your turtle and the current temperature in your local area, as well as the lowest temperature. You need to get to know this grass turtle first, and then decide what to do! For hibernation, the minimum temperature must not be lower than the tolerance range of the turtle, and be careful to hibernate for long sleep.

Heating is generally a last resort. Find out for yourself!

Turtles are generally more convenient to raise in winter, and turtles must hibernate in winter.

Unless heated and in a warm place, you can generally use sand coconut clay or sawdust for hibernation, and the hibernation should be kept moist, and the ambient temperature should not be too low.

Turtle hibernation is his physiological process.

In winter, the first thing to pay attention to when raising turtles is to pay attention to the temperature, if you raise them in a greenhouse, you should keep them above 20, and if you are hibernating, you should keep them at a low temperature. Due to the low temperature, the turtle's appetite is not very strong, so it can be fed less and once a week. You don't need to change the water too often, and you should also pay attention to the water temperature.

If you want to hibernate, you need to feed a little food in advance, and then stop eating to cool down, and wait for two months to wake up. <

Turtles are raised in winter, and the first thing to pay attention to is the temperature. Some turtles are raised in greenhouses, and they should be kept above 20 in winter, and if they are overwintered or hibernate at room temperature, they may freeze to death. Even if the turtle grows at room temperature, it is too small to survive the low temperature in winter, so it is important to take measures to keep warm so as not to freeze to death.

In winter, turtles do not have a very strong appetite, so they eat relatively little, and they usually feed them once a week. Food is generally selected according to its eating habits, those who love meat are fed some fish, shrimp or animal offal, those who love vegetarian food are fed vegetable leaves or melons and fruits, and artificial turtle food can also be chosen.

In winter, turtles also need to change the water, but because the temperature is not high, the water quality decays much slower, so there is no need to change so often, and the feeding is less, the excretion is less, and it can be cleaned once a week. Of course, the water must be dried before it can be used, otherwise the residual chlorine will still have an impact on the health of the turtle.

For turtles that can hibernate, it is not impossible to spend the winter in this way. Before preparing for hibernation, you need to feed a little more food, and then you need to stop feeding to cool down, so that it can hibernate in a state of hibernation, and when it is excreted cleanly, you can hibernate it, at this time it will burrow into the sand, and usually sprinkle water to moisturize.

The water in the tank is generally slightly higher than the turtle's back; You can buy special turtle feed and feed it in 2 to 3 feedings.

Turtle breeding:

1. Living environment: When we raise turtles, it is best if there is a pool in the house, so that we can raise them in the pool, if not, we can only use a water tank. The water in the tank is generally slightly higher than the turtle's back, so if the turtle is smaller, don't put too much water.

In the middle of the jar you can put a stone larger than a turtle shell, but it should be flatter. This makes it easier for the baby turtle to climb up and rest.

2. The choice of water: the water can not be directly used tap water and well water, which is not good for the turtle, so let it be put for two days and let the sun bask in it. The water temperature should not be hot or cold!

3. Feeding: The turtle was very afraid of life at the beginning, so just bought it back, the turtle may not eat, don't worry, let the turtle be familiar with the surrounding environment, don't get old to disturb the turtle, let it get used to the environment. When the food is put down, the person walks away, so that it can be eaten secretly.

4. Change the water: Turtles should pay attention to changing the water and change the water diligently. After each feeding, the turtle will poop, after which it can pour out two-thirds of the water and fill it with new water. Or don't feed in the water.

5. Basking in the sun: Properly basking the turtle in the sun is beneficial to the growth of the tortoise. But don't do it in the middle of the day, when the sun is too big, just bask for 15-40 minutes in the morning.

6. Hibernation: The turtle will choose to hibernate when the weather gets cold in winter, and we should feed it more before hibernation to let it store enough energy for the winter. You can put the turtle in a cardboard box, and put some foam in the carton, broken steps and so on.

After twenty days, the turtle is placed in a suitable water temperature, fed to it, and then put it back in a cardboard box for hibernation.

The water in the tank is generally higher than the turtle's back. It is possible to buy specialized. Feed feeding. Head two to three times a day.
