    Ah, this turtle is a little too small, but it's okay and it's not impossible. Such a small turtle is not recommended to hibernate, because it is too small, it may be too low to survive the winter, it is generally heated for the winter, and the feeding is no different from usual, the Brazilian turtle is not as good as it is said, the reason why it is said that its durability is more because of its low **, the probability of its larvae suffering from white eye disease is very high, far more than some ** high turtles, so please pay attention to the water quality, pay attention to the temperature change is not too big 20 degrees above 25 degrees is better, you can choose to use a heating pad or reptile box to feed, if you want to be simple, you can also use a heating rod, However, since the water depth of such a small turtle is not too large, if the water is too shallow, it is difficult to use the heating rod, so please consider.

    The right way to hibernate:

    1 Prepare a shoebox with some newspaper on top.

    2 Prepare a container The water will not exceed the turtle's mouth, 3 days or so 1-3 hours Put it in the water Remember that the water must have been dried for 3 days Then... Soak for about 3 hours, continue to put the turtle in the shoebox Remember that the temperature should not be too large, the temperature difference is too large, the turtle will wake up in advance, and the turtle will die of physical exhaustion. Try to keep the temperature around 12 -13 degrees.

    This way, your turtle can survive the winter safely for 3 months, and it will survive the winter safely from mid to late April.

    The key to your little Brazil is that it is too small, I personally recommend not letting it hibernate, the probability of death is very high, 15 degrees the turtle will generally stop moving and eating, for a long time the little Brazil can't bear it, if you have a heating rod, put it in the fish tank, the temperature can be controlled between 26 and 28 degrees, the water level can be several times that of the Brazilian turtle, but you have to get a sundeck, so that little Brazil can climb up the sundeck! In this way, the Brazilian turtle will not hibernate, and the turtle usually eats quickly at this temperature.

    First of all, your turtles are too small, and if you want them to overwinter naturally, they are likely to die.

    Brazilian tortoises will lose about one-third of their body weight after hibernation naturally, and such a small turtle does not have enough fat in its body to consume.

    In fact, warming feeding is very simple, buy a heating rod, you don't sell it there, and you also have it online. Dozens of dollars. Just give them a constant temperature.

    In addition, try to change the turtle with several kinds of food, such as fish, meat, bread worms, fruits, vegetables, turtle food, etc., and let them try it.

    Also, get a platform for them in the water so they can bask in the sun.

    Turtles that live in water for a long time are susceptible to water mold.

    Turtles and tortoises that hibernate in the sand should ensure that the sand is clean and pollution-free. During the tortoise's hibernation, keep the sand moist.

    2. The owner should maintain the humidity of the tortoise's hibernation environment, so that the tortoise's hibernation environment can be kept moist.

    3. When the turtle is hibernating, the owner should control the ambient temperature at 4 degrees Celsius to 15 degrees Celsius, which is conducive to the turtle to maintain good health during the hibernation process.

You can spread a thick layer of wet sand inside the hibernation container, one can maintain a suitable temperature, and the other can provide the necessary water for the tortoise's body in winter, and spread a layer of confetti or other soft things on top of the wet sand.

    Want. Turtles need to be placed in water when hibernating, but they do not need to be changed.

    Domestic turtles are generally raised in a water tank, the water tank can be added to the appropriate amount of water, the amount of water can submerge the turtle's back, when the turtle hibernates, the water tank changes the water at least once a week, each time to change half, to ensure good water quality.

    It is worth noting that in heated houses in the north, the winter temperature is basically above 20 degrees Celsius, while the suitable temperature for tortoises to hibernate is 1 degree Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius, so the tortoise can be placed at a room temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius to avoid excessive energy consumption by the tortoise.

    No, don't give the turtle anything to eat about 10 days before hibernation, let it remove feces from its body, and when it completely enters hibernation, just cover it with a moist towel and put it in a place where there is no noise.

    Turtles are ectotherms, and their lives are greatly affected by the ambient temperature. From November to March, when the temperature is below 10, it hibernates, and its metabolism is very slow and weak.

    It is not until early April, when the temperature rises above 15, that the turtles begin to resume their activity and feed in large quantities so there is no need to feed or change the water during the hibernation period, and the main work during this period is to keep warm, such as covering the area around the pool and the open space between the pool and the fence.

    Yes. Turtles are ectotherms, and their lives are greatly affected by the ambient temperature. From November to March, when the temperature is below 10, the turtle lies in the silt at the bottom of the pond or lies in the loose soil covered with straw, does not eat or move, and hibernates, at which time its metabolism is very slow and weak.

    It is not until the beginning of April, when the temperature rises above 15, that the turtles begin to resume their activities and feed in large quantities Therefore, there is no need to feed or change the water during the hibernation period, and the main work during this period is to keep warm, such as covering the open space around the pool and between the pool and the fence with straw; The second is to prevent the invasion of natural enemies of turtles.
