    Intentions, the achievement of professional 、、、

    I'm depressed, I've just called a lot and my phone has restarted....Let's fight again now.

    Let's start with the heating rod and the filter. Filtering 5 watts is enough, and the noise is unavoidable, and the water flow is too fast. If the heating rod is 50 watts, it can be placed on the side with filtration, and the temperature is kept by circulating with water, and it is placed in the center without filtering to reduce the temperature difference.

    You said that the eyes are swollen, but there are no white eyes or anything, this is really 4 has not been touched, I personally feel that it is a sign of white eyes, you can use chloramphenicol eye drops to dot its eyes, first point for two or three days to see the effect, if it is aggravated, stop immediately, it is not white eyes. If it works, stick to it.

    Finally, let's talk about your headaches. In fact, people who have intentions to raise this problem know that they use a sleeve cylinder. Add 12 cm of water to keep the water warm, and then you can find a basin smaller than the tank and place it on the water so that the temperature can be transferred to it.

    You can keep warm well, but you'd better put a lid on the cylinder to reduce temperature loss. Of course, there should be an opening, an opening that can exchange air a little bit. In this way, they can not only prevent them from hibernating, recuperate, but also reduce their contact with water.

    However, although it is said that there is less contact with water, it is necessary to soak in water for two or three hours a day, and small turtles are not big turtles with good endurance.

    You can increase the temperature of the water to 30 degrees, find a square box to put on the water, you can put four turtles on the line, and then order chloramphenicol eye drops every day. Soak for an hour a day. Use about 30 of the water below, soak it and put it back in the box.

    What should be paid attention to is the temperature of the air, and it is good to reduce a sudden large amount of cold air into the tank, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold.

    Water over the turtle's back, use a 50-100w heating rod, filter it or not! It can be disinfected and dechlorinated by drops in water, and the water can be disinfected to remove chlorine. There is also a week to change the tank to 1/3 of the water, so it can be well quickly.

    Remember to give the turtle eye drops, erythromycin or chlortetracycline.

    If you want the turtle not to hibernate, you need to warm the environment around the turtle, so that the temperature of the environment around him reaches a certain temperature, so that it will not hibernate, for example, put it in a heated room, use a heating rod to warm the turtle tank and so on, so that the ambient temperature around it is higher than the hibernation value.

    The turtle is cute.

    2. Give the turtle plenty of food;

    3. It is best not to let young turtles that are only 2-3 years old hibernate them. In addition, turtles that are weak and do not eat much should not be allowed to hibernate, as they will die in hibernation.

    Baby grass turtles hibernate.

    As long as the temperature is below 20 degrees, it is possible to hibernate.

    Grass turtle feeding methods and precautions

    First, the grass turtle belongs to the water turtle, which is slightly more land-oriented, and the larger the grass turtle, the more land it prefers. Raising grass turtles should be arranged in a land and water environment, even if there is no obvious water and land environment, a large sundeck should be set up. In addition, the grass turtle seedlings are weak, and the environment should avoid sharp protrusions.

    Second, the feeding density should not be too large, because the tail of the grass turtle is long and easy to break. Grass turtle seedlings also like to bite the tails of other turtle seedlings, so even if they are not mixed with other turtle species, they may cause tail breakage.

    The right way is the general environment, free-range is the best.

    Thirdly, meat should be avoided at the beginning of feeding grass turtle seedlings. Because feeding fish, shrimp, or pork may cause fights and bites between turtles, and the external injuries caused by fights and bites may cause rotten skin, rotten armor, and broken tails.

    Fourth, proper lighting is a must. Turtles that do not bask in the sun for a long time will be very weak and have no disease resistance, if the turtle seedlings can not be exposed to the sun for a long time, the tortoise shells are soft, and it is easy to cause rot. If you can't get direct exposure to the sun, you should set up a sunning lamp, although the LED light is bright but can not produce a heat source, you should use a halogen lamp.

    Fifth, the maintenance of water quality. No matter what kind of turtle you raise, the water quality should be kept in good condition. There are two ways to maintain water quality, one is the environment, planting aquatic plants, and adding light. Imitate the natural environment, such an environment should be fed less, the sunlight should be strong, and the feeding density should be low.

    One is to use filtration to maintain water quality, and the filtered turtle tank is easy to take care of, so that the frequency of water changes can be reduced as much as possible.

    It is important to emphasize here that the water quality is maintained, not obtained by changing the water. Good water quality is clear, pale green, pale yellow. This kind of clarity cannot be achieved no matter how much you change the water. Therefore, it is necessary to change the water less so that the bacteria in the water can maintain the water quality.

    Sixth, feed less. If you don't dare to do anything, you should feed less, quantitatively, and regularly. To reduce greasy food, turtle food should be fed as much as possible if you have no feeding experience.

    Grass turtle hibernation, grass turtle in November to March of the following year, when the surrounding environment temperature is lower than 15, will lie at the bottom of the tank to enter the hibernation period.

    <> grass turtles are completely fine if they don't hibernate, but the grass turtles that don't hibernate are not as dark as the hibernating grass turtles, and their development will be a little slower. The grass turtle has a bad constitution and can not hibernate, but it can be kept active by increasing the temperature, which can effectively avoid the problem of low hibernation survival rate of the grass turtle. Grass turtles do not hibernate, and their metabolism will be a little slower, and they usually need to spend more time in the sun. Weigh carefully.

    Turtles with poor physique can not hibernate, and it is generally not recommended that turtles do not hibernate, which can easily cause turtles to get sick and will also affect the final lifespan of turtles. When the hibernation period is approaching, it is recommended to feed the turtle more food and control the temperature to provide an environment that allows the turtle to hibernate. And for turtles that do not hibernate, they need to get more sun.

    Turtles can not hibernate, but they are generally aimed at turtles with very weak constitutions. In order for the turtle to live longer, it is best to provide the turtle with a suitable environment for hibernation, and also to raise the turtle's body better.

    When the tortoise hibernation is approaching, it is necessary to feed the tortoise a lot of food, stock up on fat and energy, control the temperature well, and prepare for hibernation, and maintain clean water during the tortoise's hibernation.

    Hibernating tortoises live longer and are less prone to illness, while tortoises that do not hibernate are definitely worse than hibernating tortoises. Turtles that do not hibernate need to spend more time in the sun to provide heat to survive the winter safely.

    There is no harm because turtles are ectotherms, and hibernation is only a passive reaction to the drop in ambient temperature, and cannot be actively regulated. Hibernation is essentially a response to the cold of winter and the resulting lack of food, and there is no need for a turtle raised at home to hibernate if it is kept warm. There is no harm because turtles are ectotherms, and hibernation is only a passive reaction to the drop in ambient temperature, and cannot be actively regulated.

    Hibernation is essentially a response to the cold of winter and the resulting lack of food, and there is no need for a turtle raised at home to hibernate if it is kept warm.

    As ectotherms, hibernation is a helpless move driven by low temperature, not that turtles must hibernate, not actively selected, but a passive adaptation (life-saving behavior). Since it is a passive adaptation, not an active choice, there is no such thing as the benefits of hibernation or the disadvantages of not hibernating.

    If it is a natural phenomenon for turtles to hibernate at low temperatures, then it is also a natural phenomenon for turtles not to hibernate as long as the temperature is maintained in place. Turtles hibernate or not, depending entirely on the outside temperature. In some tropical areas, turtles do not need to hibernate at all because the temperature is suitable all year round, and they can still survive and reproduce.

    So the notion that hibernation is bad may be just a rumor with no actual scientific basis.

    Turtles can not hibernate, but the premise needs to control the temperature above 20, at this time the turtle is weak, easy to get sick, need to keep the turtle enough food, change the water regularly and increase the time in the sun. In addition, the water temperature needs to be checked regularly, as if the temperature is too low, it may cause the turtle to hibernate at any time.

    Turtles can not hibernate, and wild tortoises hibernate mainly because of the lack of food**, as well as the low temperatures of winter. Turtles in captivity do not need to consider this aspect, it is perfectly fine not to hibernate, but the temperature needs to be controlled above 20.

    In the case of low temperatures, the turtle can be kept in the tank to increase the temperature of the tank and keep plenty of food. In addition, turtles that do not hibernate may have a weaker constitution and need to change the water regularly and spend more time in the sun.

    At the same time, in order to avoid the discomfort caused by sudden changes in water temperature, it is recommended to check the water temperature every once in a while, and once you find that the water temperature drops, you need to increase the temperature immediately, otherwise it will cause the turtle to go into hibernation, and the temperature difference needs to be strictly controlled when changing the water.

Continue to raise the temperature and put in some of your favorite foods. Basking in the sun during the day, noisy it at night when going to the toilet or doing something, it is better to let it hibernate, otherwise it is not good for its health. Put it next to the heater, it doesn't work at all, because the temperature of the heating can't pass through the fish tank at all, let alone heat the water in the fish tank to a temperature suitable for the growth of the turtle, it is recommended to buy a heating rod, not a lot of money, keep the water temperature constant at 25---35 degrees, so that the turtle can be as lively as summer, put the turtle tank next to the heater, so that the turtle tank dissipates heat slowly, so that you can save electricity. >>>More
