    It's okay, as long as you're healthy. If you are afraid that you will not survive the winter, you can put a heating rod in the tank and a heating pad at the bottom of the tank, and it will eat, so that you can survive the winter safely. It should be fed abundantly from the spring, and it will not be fattened in the winter.

    The water temperature of 28 is the most comfortable. Turtles with weak bodies and too small are not suitable for hibernation and are prone to sudden death under deep hibernation.

    Suggestion: Either hibernate naturally (6-12° automatic entry). Either you can heat up and breed, buy a heating rod, and it will cost more than 20 yuan, heat it to 28 degrees Celsius, and then feed and feed it normally.

    Don't put turtles out of the window to bask in the sun in winter, the water temperature is high and the air temperature is low, especially in windy weather. One cold and one hot, the temperature difference is too large, the turtle will catch a cold and pneumonia, which is more difficult to treat.

    Hehe. They're hibernating, and I remember my one lost a few taels when I hibernated last year, but I fattened it up again. When it is about to hibernate, you should give it a full meal, so that they will have a certain amount of fat in their stomachs for the winter...

    If it's a small turtle, I recommend that you don't let them survive the winter, because many small turtles will die during hibernation. So I recommend buying a heating rod for it. Don't let it hibernate.

    Turtles can generally choose to hibernate or warm up daily feeding for wintering in winter, and the specific operation methods are as follows:

    1. Turtles hibernate naturally, if the temperature of the breeding environment is low in winter, you can prepare a hibernation box for the turtle, maintain a certain humidity, give the turtle fat before hibernation, do not wake it up during the hibernation period, and it will wake up when the temperature warms up in spring

    If the owner is in an area where the winter is cold, the tortoise can be allowed to hibernate for the winter. Start feeding the turtle some protein-rich foods around October every year to make the turtle gain weight and reserve energy for hibernation. The temperature begins to drop in November, and when the temperature drops below 15, the tortoise begins to hibernate.

    Turtles should first prepare a hibernation box, spread some wood chips or soil, put it in a quiet and dark corner, do not disturb it daily, regularly check the activity of the turtle, spray a little water on the soil, and keep the turtle hibernation environment moist. If the turtle is woken up during hibernation, which is not good for its health, then the environment can be directly heated up to wake the turtle.

    2. Environmental warming and wintering, if the breeding environment itself is relatively warm, you can add a heater in the breeding box to keep the water temperature at about 25, and the wintering period is the same as daily feeding.

    Some areas are also warmer in winter, which allows the turtle not to hibernate, directly to the breeding environment to warm, keep the water temperature at about 25 (the turtle can generally adapt to the environment of 22 30), the environmental temperature should not fluctuate too much, maintain the daily habit of raising turtles, such as feeding frequency, light time, etc.

    Turtles that do not hibernate have no effect on their normal rearing, as long as the temperature is comfortable, the diet is sufficient, and the proper light can make the tortoise shell healthier.

    Summary. 1. Low temperature. In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the turtle's appetite will be reduced to a large extent, or even no appetite.

    Therefore, under normal circumstances, after the turtle wakes up from hibernation, it is necessary to analyze whether the turtle should eat according to the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), it is generally normal for the turtle not to eat; If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), the turtle still does not eat, it is not normal. For turtles that are caused by low temperatures and do not eat, the treatment is as follows:

    Let it be, and when the temperature rises, the turtle will naturally eat.

    2. Improper feeding. It is the incorrect feeding method that causes the turtle not to eat. For example, feeding the turtle food that it does not want to eat, or placing the food in a way that makes it inconvenient for the turtle to eat, etc.

    For this kind of turtle that does not eat due to the incorrect feeding method, as long as the turtle is fed food according to the correct feeding method, it will eat.

    The turtle is fed fat + in the fall, and it doesn't eat until winter + it's all thin+What to do.

    In winter at 28 the tortoise does not eat, and if it does not hibernate, it may be sick. Get a veterinarian.

    How to raise turtles

    1. Feeding containers

    Storage boxes, logistics boxes, fish tanks, etc. can all be used to raise turtles. Before feeding, it should be disinfected with light salt water, potassium permanganate dilution, etc., and rinsed with water repeatedly after disinfection. The height of the container should not be too shallow, and the inner wall should not be too rough, because the turtle has a strong climbing ability, and a container that is too shallow and too rough can easily allow it to escape.

    The feeding density should not be too large, too large density can easily cause turtles to fight and grab food, bringing the risk of tail breaking.

    2. Water for feeding

    Turtles can be kept with tap water that has been dried in the sun for more than two days, well water, etc. After drying, it can remove harmful substances such as chlorine in the water, and at the same time can promote the reproduction of algae and probiotics in the water. Turtles are more stressful, and it takes a long time to adapt to the water quality after arriving in a new environment, and the direct use of tap water will cause turtles to get sick, so do not be greedy for convenience and directly use tap water to raise turtles.

    The water level of the turtle should be 1 times the length of the tortoise's back carapace, so that the tortoise can stick its head out of the water at any time to breathe. Every time you change the water, you can change about half of the old water, pay attention to the temperature of the new water added should be consistent with the old water, and the water change time should be carried out every day when the temperature is high, so as not to cause the turtle to catch a cold. Filters can also be used to purify water quality, enhance water circulation, and reduce the frequency of water changes.

    3. Feeding temperature

    The optimal growing temperature for turtles is between 25 and 30 degrees, with too high temperatures causing heat stroke and too low temperatures causing turtles to stop feeding. In summer, turtles should be raised to prevent heatstroke and cool down to avoid turtles from heat stroke and die.

    Fourth, light

    When raising turtles, it is necessary to set up a gentle slope and exposed sundeck in the water, so that the turtles can climb out of the water at any time to rest and bask their backs. Receiving proper light every day is of great significance to turtles, which can not only promote the synthesis of vitamin D3 in their bodies to speed up calcium absorption, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of various diseases. Also, when sunbathing turtles in the summer, avoid the midday hours to avoid excessive temperatures.

    5. Food

    Turtles can be raised using a variety of water turtle larvae food, or they can be fed fish and shrimp meat. When feeding fish and shrimp, cut the food into appropriate shapes, too large food is not conducive to the turtle to eat, and pay attention to clean up the hard residue in the food to avoid scratching the turtle's gastrointestinal esophagus. It can be fed once a day, and the amount of each feeding is preferably so that the turtle can eat it within 5 minutes.

    Do not overfeed food, first, overfeeding can easily cause indigestion and rapid growth of turtles, resulting in gastrointestinal diseases, growth deformities, etc.; Second, overfeeding is easy to produce too much food residue, resulting in poor water quality.

    Generally, turtles can be fed after waking up from hibernation.

    The tortoise hibernation period is about November to April of the following year, when the temperature is below 15, and it gradually stops eating and begins to enter the hibernation period. You can't leave the water when hibernating, otherwise you will lose water and get sick and die. Feeding can be started immediately after waking up from hibernation.

    In the hibernation period, the pond temperature should not be too high, 0-5, so that the turtle is not very active and reduces the consumption of physical energy. If the temperature is too high, the turtle is constantly active, which consumes a lot of physical energy. During this time, the turtle also needs to bask in the sun, the temperature of the pond should not be too low, and the water can be deepened when it is frozen.

    Water changes can be done with as little or no change as possible.

    Feeding points for turtles:

    Turtles can be fed nutritious foods such as small fish, small shrimp, screws, and raw lean meat. The baby turtle should cut the raw fish and shrimp and feed them well. Do not feed cooked lean meat, fatty meat and indigestible food, otherwise it will disappear and cause poor rotation and illness.

    The turtle growth period, the temperature is above 15, about 5-10 months, from the turtle to stop eating, this period is called the turtle growth time. During this time, it needs to bask in the sun, so as mentioned earlier, the ** of the pond should be littered with stones, mounds, and green spaces. During this time, you should change the water frequently, once a week.
