The turtle is almost in hibernation, but it is very thin, what to do

It is recommended to feed lean pork in the near future, raw, cut into small pieces to feed, it is best to swallow so small in one bite, to replenish its strength. Basking in the sun during the day can enhance your appetite, and when there is no sunlight, you should take it back indoors to avoid a large temperature difference and easy to catch a cold. If possible, it is best to warm up for the winter, and it is difficult for turtles with poor physique to survive the hibernation period.

Generally, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees, the turtle enters the hibernation period, and it will not end its hibernation until the day of the next lunar sting.

Either warm up for the winter, or give natural hibernation...

If conditions permit, it is best to warm up for the winter, and baby turtles or sick turtles should be warmed for the winter.

It is best to add a UV lamp to heat up for winter. . .

If they hibernate naturally, I will hibernate them in shallow water now.

The water does not go past the shell of the turtle, and there are pebbles in the water, and sometimes they climb up without wanting to soak in the water.

Then the tank for raising turtles is placed in a dark and constant temperature place indoors, and when the water is dirty, change the water once. Don't always bother it.

Heating the heating rod bought by the aquarium for winter, stainless steel explosion-proof is the best, the temperature is adjusted to 26-28 degrees, pay attention to the temperature difference when changing the water, do not exceed 5 degrees, usually feed shrimp or pork, cut into small pieces to feed, raw.

Add a UV lamp, turn on the sun twice a week for a while, 30 minutes each time, facing the back stone, it will climb up to dry, and then it will go down to soak in water by itself when it is hot...

Don't bring it outdoors for the winter, the temperature difference is easy to catch a cold, and the ultraviolet lamp has the same effect as the sun. . .

It's okay, when the weather is nice, let it bask in the sun, even if it's on the balcony. Eat some small bugs and stuff, small shrimp, small fish.

Don't listen to the one who advises to feed pork. Many turtles are fed like this, which looks fat in the short term, but in fact, it will cause poor fat metabolism in the long term.

If you don't have enough reserves for hibernation, you need to warm them, use heating rods for water turtles, and use heating lamps for tortoises to maintain a temperature of 25-28. Turtles feed fish and shrimp, tortoises feed vegetables with high fiber, weeds.

Hibernation in nature is a round of natural selection once a year, and those who are weak in physique are basically dead after hibernation. In the hands of man, he can live well.

When a turtle hibernates, it loses weight.

In the natural environment, some tortoise species hibernate during the cold season, and this bucket brigade is a survival strategy for them to adapt to the environment. During hibernation, the tortoise's metabolic rate decreases, its appetite decreases, and its energy expenditure in the body decreases accordingly, so there is no significant emaciation during hibernation.

However, in the case of turtles bred in captivity, they need to simulate their natural environment for hibernation in winter. Before hibernation, a period of adequate food and nutrients is usually required in order not to affect health and growth. During hibernation, if the turtle does not have sufficient reserves of energy in its body, it may lose weight due to its reduced appetite.

Therefore, if you have a turtle in captivity, be sure to give it enough nutrients in advance, and observe the tortoise's physical condition at intervals during hibernation to ensure that they are in good physical condition and do not develop malnutrition. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand the characteristics and precautions of different species of turtles during hibernation in order to take better care of them.

Control the temperature, the turtle enters hibernation because the ambient temperature is too low, so the temperature needs to be stabilized between 5 10 during hibernation; Change the water regularly, and change the water every 1 week during the tortoise's hibernation, and replace half of the water in the tank each time; Supplement nutrition, before the turtle hibernates, they need to supplement nutrients and store fat for winter, and stop feeding half a month before hibernation.

The reason why turtles go into hibernation is because the temperature is low in winter, their metabolism will slow down significantly, and they can't find food, so they will use hibernation to reduce nutrient consumption. Generally, when the temperature is below 10, it will enter hibernation, and when it is higher than 15, it will wake up, so the temperature needs to be stable between 5 and 10 during the tortoise's hibernation.

The turtle also needs to change the water regularly during hibernation, because it will live in the water, if the water is not changed for a long time, the water quality will deteriorate, and the turtle itself is more fragile during hibernation and is prone to disease after waking up. Therefore, during the hibernation period, the water needs to be changed once a week, and half of the water in the tank can be replaced each time, and the temperature difference between the new water and the old water should not be too large.

Before the tortoise hibernates, it is also necessary to supplement its nutrients so that it can accumulate enough fat to overwinter. And half a month before hibernation, they need to stop feeding, so that they can better enter the state of hibernation. 2 to 3 days before hibernation, it should also be put in warm water to empty the remaining debris in the intestines to avoid absorbing other nutrients during hibernation, resulting in intestinal blockage.

When heated, tortoises do not hibernate. The key to hibernation is temperature, not season. If the temperature drops below 15-13, the turtle will start to hibernate at a suitable temperature of 1 10.

Generally, it is recommended not to hibernate young turtles, young turtles, sick turtles, and thin turtles. If none of the above is true, hibernation is no problem. The advantage of not hibernating is that it grows like winter and matures faster.

Therefore, many turtle businessmen do not let turtles hibernate so that they can grow up quickly and become commercial turtles faster.
