How does a Brazilian iron orchid survive the winter? How do Brazilian tortoises hibernate?

How brazilwood survives the winter.

In winter, Brazilwood should be allowed to bask in the sun under appropriate light conditions, if the light is not sufficient, then the luster on the leaves of Brazilwood will become dull, the beauty will be lost a lot, the ornamental value will be greatly reduced, if the sun is not sufficient, it is not conducive to the flowering of Brazilwood.

There is also a very important problem in the cultivation of brazilwood in winter is the problem of temperature, the most basic guarantee is that the growth temperature of brazilwood in winter is about 10 degrees Celsius, not lower than 5 degrees Celsius, when the room temperature is less than 16 degrees Celsius, the fertilization of brazilwood should be stopped.

Plants grow more slowly due to low temperatures in winter, and brazilwood is no exception. Therefore, do not water too much in winter, just keep the soil moist, if you water too much, there will be root rot. Water the pot when you see the surface of the soil whitish.

In addition to watering the brazilwood, it is also necessary to pay attention to the foliar fertilizer treatment on the leaves in addition to watering the drip wood. This method not only replenishes the water of the plant's body, but also cleans the plant.

In winter, tortoise hibernation is beneficial for breeding turtles.

Therefore, when the water temperature drops to about 20, stop feeding, even if a few turtles can still eat, do not feed to avoid indigestion caused by the temperature drop. Before hibernation, all turtles should be examined. People who do not sink water, have trauma, and are extremely emaciated are not suitable for hibernation.

As the temperature gradually drops, some turtles prefer to hibernate in the water, while others go ashore to hibernate. Keep the shore moist, cover straw, and place dead branches and other things for turtles to hide. Once a month, the turtle is found to have weak limbs and its head cannot be retracted into the shell, and it is immediately warmed.

Brazilian tortoises are low-temperature animals that hibernate, and domesticated tortoises generally do not hibernate in a warm room because of the higher temperature indoors. In fact, when raising a Brazilian tortoise, be sure to pay attention to the following:

The first point is the container for raising turtles. Generally speaking, many people raise turtles with a basin, which is filled with sand and shaped into a slope shape, and the height of the water should ensure that the turtle can be completely submerged in the deep water, and the turtle can expose its head to the surface of the water in the shallow water. In fact, the equipment for raising turtles is now more advanced, and some are equipped with a gentle slope along which the turtle can climb to the "shore" to bask in the sun.

The second point is the control of temperature. We know that turtles are hibernator animals and will move sluggishly if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees. We know that most people raise turtles indoors, and if the indoor heating is indoors, the turtles rarely hibernate, and the nutrition of the turtles fed by the family can keep up, and they can still stay active in the winter.

It is worth mentioning that there are often people who add a temperature control device to the turtle, which is not too necessary, but since the heater is installed, it is best to set the temperature to about 20 degrees.

The fourth point is the surrounding environment. In order to make the turtle more energetic, the environment around the turtle should be as quiet as possible, if you still have cats and dogs, you must ensure that cats and dogs do not approach the turtle.

The fifth point is to take good measures to prevent diseases. Disease prevention is mainly sterilization, usually to the turtle equipped with water equipment, otherwise you have to change the water frequently, the frequency of water change is kept at about once every 3 days, when you are busy, you can also change the water once every five days, and only half of the water can be changed at a time, so as to protect the ecological balance of bacteria.

All in all, when feeding turtles, you must pay attention to the above points.

The cold winter is coming, the Brazilian turtles gradually enter the state of hibernation, do not eat or move, some novice turtle breeders will think that the turtle is dead, in fact, the cute little turtles are hibernating, recuperating the body, when the weather is cold about October every year, the turtle will begin to hibernate. Turtle hibernation is to pay attention to the work of keeping warm.

When the tortoise hibernates, the keeper should not touch it at will, and it can not be used for food, as long as some sand and water are placed in the fish tank to let the tortoise sleep freely. Don't leave the turtle in cold water in winter, as it will freeze to death. It is guaranteed that the turtle can hibernate normally at 1-3 degrees Celsius.

If you don't want the turtle to sleep and hibernate in winter, just raise the temperature of the environment. Generally speaking, when the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, the turtle will start hibernating. In winter, as long as the temperature of the turtle growing environment is above 10 degrees Celsius, the turtle can be seen moving again.

There are pros and cons to tortoise hibernation, domesticated small tortoises, small in size, not strong enough, in front of the east body does not store enough nutrients and energy, if it is allowed to hibernate, it is likely to let the young tortoise die. If you don't want the tortoise to hibernate, you have to do a good job of keeping the tortoise warm.

If the indoor temperature is more than 15 degrees, it is difficult for the Brazilian turtle to hibernate, if the indoor temperature is low, the Brazilian turtle can still hibernate, if you want to let it hibernate, you can lower the temperature of the water.

1.Turtles are ectotherms. Its body temperature regulates the temperature in the body according to changes in the outside temperature.

Therefore, when the indoor temperature is too high, the turtle will not hibernate. But then the turtle needs to be carefully raised. Do not feed the turtle too much or too often.

I don't think domestic turtles hibernate in a warm room because they need a very low temperature to hibernate and the temperature inside the home is not good enough for them to hibernate.

My family is to take towels and blankets, which have the same effect as sand, and clean as long as you keep the towel moist during the period, in addition, before hibernation, fast for 1 2 weeks to defecate, otherwise you will have gastrointestinal problems.

In addition to sand, there should be plants to cover it, control the humidity, and remember to let the turtle supplement enough nutrients before hibernation.

The turtle will not hibernate, but it will not be more active, the water will overflow the dark corner of the tortoise shell room, and the water can be changed after half a month and twenty days.

The landlord actually has a very simple method, feed the turtle and turtle (because he wants to store fat) and then you go to get some coarser sand back, put it in a basin (the sand should be thick,) put the turtle and turtle on the sand surface, this is a wet cloth, put it in the dark, he will go into the sand by himself, remember that when he tries not to disturb his hibernation during the hibernation period, every day like watering flowers, watering the wet cloth, the weather is slowly warm, it will naturally wake up,,, I drop the turtle turtle has been over 3 winters, and is now hibernating.

Your indoor is about 20 degrees, don't give the turtle to the winter, this temperature turtle turtle can not be wintered, you can just put the turtle in the water, feed it a day, feed it for a few days, if the turtle turtle does not eat then let the turtle survive the winter, if the turtle eats, don't let the turtle spend the winter, just feed it!

If you feed it, you can feed some fish and shrimp meat, just feed them once a day, and you will know how many times you feed them!

Don't use any sand for the turtle to spend the winter, if the turtle wants to spend the winter, use some straw and then wet the straw with water, and then put the turtle and turtle into it, it will climb into the straw itself, and then it will not move for a while, the humidity of the straw should be greater, and the burden can not be all water is that, anyway, it is a wet feeling when touched! Also sprinkle the straw often to keep it moist! Once the turtle hibernates, don't move it, it's better not to move the hibernating turtle, that is, put the turtle in the water every few days to drink water, generally once a week, and the baby turtle can drink water once every four or five days!

But remember that the turtle must drink water, if there is no water, the turtle is dangerous!

By next year, the temperature during the day is about 20 degrees can be taken out, don't feed the turtle too much at the beginning, just feed a little, I haven't eaten for a long time, the turtle's stomach must have an adaptation process, just feed a little less! Increase the amount slowly!

That's all I have to say, good luck! Bye.

Let me give you a suggestion! We have four golden turtles at home, and during the winter we drain the big basin of water (the small turtle can move in the big basin), take a little old clothes and use them as a "sheet" underneath, and cover them with the rest of the old clothes (be careful, don't cover the head, so as not to get stuffy), and don't feed them for the time being. I'm sure it's warm!

If you have extra old clothes, you can choose to put "sheets").

I bought a Brazilian turtle and don't know how to raise it, what should I do when winter comes?

Just bury it in the sand and give him some time to bask in the sun, but don't be too dry for fools, that's it. Little turtle, no trouble.

Attention should be paid before hibernation:

The first thing to do is to determine if your tortoise can hibernate. Whether the turtle has been eating, defecating, and active well before. Whether the weight is within the normal range according to his size. Whether there are other diseases, whether the carapace, stomach, respiratory tract, etc. are normal.

If all of the above questions are normal, then you can start preparing him for hibernation. (The phrase "let him start" here is because even if the tortoise is not in a healthy state, the tortoise will go into hibernation on its own because the temperature gets lower.) But it's generally hard to wake up again. ）

If it is not normal, then it is better not to let him hibernate. Keep the water temperature of the turtle at about 26 degrees Celsius, so that he does not go into hibernation, and then carry out the symptoms**. Don't let the tortoise hibernate again this winter.

Prepare for hibernation: When the temperature gets colder, the turtle will start to stop eating on its own. Generally, 1 to 2 weeks without food, let the turtle empty the poop in the body.

Pay attention to the state of the turtle during the 1 to 2 weeks, and if there is also an abnormality or lack of energy, it is best not to let the turtle continue to hibernate.

Hibernation: In general, just prepare a small box or box for the tortoise. If you can, you can put sand and let him dig a hole to get into. Don't bury your tortoise artificially so that your tortoise won't wake up.

Put some damp newspapers, towels, etc. in a small box. After placing the tortoise in the box, cover the tortoise with the same damp paper or towel. Do not put turtles and turtles in water to hibernate, it will cause frostbite or even freeze to death.

Once everything is done, you can put him in a quiet, dark, damp corner. Let the tortoise sleep beautifully for a winter.

During hibernation: During hibernation, you still have to take care of the tortoise.

Spray some water on the paper or towel on the tortoise every few days, not too much, preferably diffusely. Mainly spray around the head.

The temperature of the hibernation place should not be hot and cold, just keep it in a cold state.

When taking care of the turtle, do not disturb the tortoise's sleep. Don't let the turtle wake up too often.

If you want to check if the turtle is alive, you can gently touch the head or limbs, and the turtle will make small movements.

Wake up from hibernation: Turtles generally wake up from hibernation around March.

Because after a winter's sleep, the muscles of the whole body are relatively stiff, especially the stomach and intestines. So don't let him eat right away. Don't put it in the water right away, either. He should be allowed to slowly adapt to the light and surroundings.

After 3 to 4 days after waking up, you can feed him some shelled shrimp meat. Be careful to feed soft foods. This will not hurt the stomach and intestines.

After all the conditions have returned to normal, and the room temperature can be maintained at 10 degrees or more, you can start to let the turtle enter the water. Don't be in a hurry, put it in a place where there is water and land, you can let him go into the water by himself.

If it were me, I would have hibernate naturally.

First of all, it is relatively cheap, and if it is successfully wintered, it can greatly increase the survival rate in the future.

Secondly, the situation you describe is very easy to die of colds and heating is not recommended. Unless there is a turtle box, the whole is heated.

If you are bold, you will hibernate in shallow water, or you will heat up the rod for the winter.
