1. Turtles that are not suitable for hibernation.
1. Turtles with weak body and disease. It is best to recuperate the turtle before hibernation. If the temperature has dropped, you can use the heating method. Until the turtle is fully healthy, the temperature is slowly lowered until hibernation.
2. The turtle seedlings that emerge late in the shell, for such seedlings, the breeding time is not long. To be on the safe side, it's best to get through the first winter warmed. Especially friends from the north.
In the second year, as the turtle's physique grows, it can choose to spend the winter naturally.
2. Preparation for healthy turtles before hibernation.
As we all know, turtles are an external heat source animal, and their body temperature mainly depends on the environment. If the ambient temperature is below 18, the turtle's activity will decrease and the metabolism will slow down, so it is necessary to stop feeding the turtle at this time. Prepare for colon cleansing.
Take a bath once a day, usually in a dark place, and reduce activity to maintain the tortoise's physical strength.
If the temperature difference is large at this time, you are still feeding. Then as the metabolism of the turtle slows down, the food does not have time to digest, which will lead to indigestion and cause gastrointestinal diseases of the turtle. If it is not allowed to hibernate in time, the stool left in the body will block the intestines, and in severe cases, even part of the intestinal necrosis.
Eventually, it will lead to the death of the turtle.
The hibernation medium can be moss, straw, sand, mud, and friends who like to be clean can also use some old clothes at home to wet towels to make the turtle hibernate (preferably cotton). Wash before use, and pay attention to ensure the humidity of the environment during hibernation, preferably about 70%. Then put the turtle in a corner indoors that is not easy to disturb so as not to affect the quality of hibernation.
During hibernation, the condition of the turtle should also be checked frequently, as well as the humidity of the environment, and if there are lesions, they should be treated in time.
At the beginning of spring in the second year, at the beginning of hibernation, don't be too alarmed. Because after a long winter, the stomach digestion capacity did not return to normal. The appetite is not too strong, and it is not easy to eat the food, and if you forcibly spare them, they will run out of energy and die of exhaustion.
The weather in Beijing is generally not suitable for hibernation in winter!

The yellow-margined closed-shell turtle is a semi-water turtle or is biased towards terrestrial habitat. Huang Yuan's advantage is that he is bright, has a high appearance, has good interaction, and has the charm of the national turtle, which is also very attractive to turtle friends. In fact, Huang Yuan is not difficult to raise, don't be scared by the current ** first, of course, your own attention is also required.
If the environment for raising Huangyuan is suitable, it will be much easier to raise.
However, the time of contact with Huang Yuan is not very long, and it is an entry-level rookie like many turtle friends, but many turtle friends are very interested in Huang Yuan, so we might as well exchange one of the aspects of Huang Yuan's breeding.
For the nest of Huang Yuan, complete water breeding or shriveled land breeding is not the right and good environment. Presumably everyone understands that the best breeding of Huangyuan is the environment of the combination of water and land, and the humidity also needs to be ensured.
First of all, let's talk about the placement of the yellow edge nest, the yellow edge needs to have a relatively spacious and cool turtle nest, which is spacious to avoid bumps when the turtle is active. Cool is the yellow edge in the nest in the summer to avoid the sun, the nest is cool and the yellow edge is very comfortable in the inside, make a good turtle nest, its standard is that the yellow edge can lie down quietly in the nest to see the surrounding situation, the soil under the nest should be thick and soft, so that it can drill the soil smoothly, too hard and easy to break the claws.
When it comes to soil, many turtle friends are concerned about what is the bedding material needed to raise Huang Yuan? If it is under natural conditions, it is likely that there will be dead leaves, humus soil, etc. where Huang Yuan lives, but these things may not be good to move into the home, and they cannot be imitated at will. For bedding materials, turtle friends commonly use red clay, red jade soil, granular soil, and coconut moss.
As for which one is really good, I can't say for sure, I hope the great god will answer. But as far as the facts are concerned, there are well-raised turtle friends on these soils, and it seems that they should be able to use them. As for the research of many turtle friends, how many layers of soil are needed and what materials are used for each layer, this research is in-depth.
In fact, the serious attitude is good, and it is worth encouraging, but I haven't studied it deeply enough, hehe.
The green plants in the breeding environment of Huangyuan are also a bit particular. Planting small plants directly is difficult to feed and will be destroyed. If you place plants, it is best to make some potted plants, plants with large leaves or branches and leaves, so as to shade and adjust the humidity.
If you put a cactus or something, it's purely decorative, and it doesn't logically fit.

Grow low shrubs that provide shade and absorb excrement from the environment.
It is better for the shrub to fork 1 2 times the length of the border carapace, otherwise the edge may climb to the tree.
For example: red jade soil = succulents.
Ordinary soil = turf + some plants, etc.

The yellow-edged box turtle is a semi-aquatic type of turtle, and the breeding environment should be arranged in a two-way manner, and the water depth should not be higher than 2 3 of the height of its dorsal carapace, or the turtle should not float in the water. Small amounts of rearing can be placed in shallow water (5 cm deep water level), which has the advantages of odorless, easy disinfection and cleaning.
The yellow-edged box turtle has a wide distribution, mixed eating habits, and strong adaptability. The daily feeding is mainly shrimp, fish, pork, but also bread worms, earthworms, locusts, etc.; In nature, although the turtle is mainly based on animal bait, under the condition of artificial breeding, in order to ensure the balance of nutrients in the turtle's body, it should be regularly fed with some watermelon skin, apples, rice, etc., or directly fed with some vitamin C, multivitamins and other nutritional drugs. Many people say to feed pork, cow head, shrimp meat.
Bread worms and so on, in fact, are not very good. In the long-term evolution of the yellow-edged turtle, it is mainly insects such as centipedes, earthworms, etc., and high-protein red meat is almost impossible to eat.
The yellow-edged turtle is not a carnivore after all, it is omnivorous! They don't have teeth that eat meat! This means that they don't have a food suitable for digesting a complex structure like meat!
Therefore, the yellow-edged turtle generally feeds it earthworms, insects, bread worms, barley worms, small centipedes, vegetarian feeding tomatoes (containing malic acid, etc., to help digestion), bananas, kiwifruit, strawberries (can replenish blood, moisten the lungs, cool the blood and detoxify) but feed the freshly peeled white! Feeding baby centipedes can make the turtle more yellow and red! Vegetarian food can make them eat until they don't want to eat, and meat food is generally enough to feed seven or eight full!
It's hot and it's fed every other day! Feed them once every three days when it's cold Vegetarian food can make them eat until they don't want to eat, and meat food is generally fed seven or eight minutes full.
In spring and autumn, feed 3 or 4 times a week, and the feeding time is generally in the early morning and evening, and it is advisable to feed at noon in early spring and late autumn. The yellow-edged box turtle is most suitable at the ambient temperature of 25, occasionally eats less at 15 o'clock, and hiberns below 10 °C; At 35°C, there will be a state of summer hibernation, irritability, fasting, and begin to enter "summer sleep". Therefore, in daily feeding, it is necessary to pay attention to observe the changes in environmental temperature, and it is best to establish a feeding record book to accumulate information and grasp the life rules of the turtle and the requirements for temperature and bait.
In early spring and late autumn, it should be noted that the temperature difference of the water should not be higher than 3 4, and the water change is best carried out before feeding.
At the beginning of November every year, due to the drop in temperature, the turtle gradually enters hibernation, at this time, the breeding tank should be covered with 7 8 cm thick moist sandy soil, placed in the indoor sunny place, so that it can hibernate naturally. In late March of the following year, when the temperature rises to about 18 19, the turtle begins to eat, and the initial feeding should be less and fine, especially after feeding, the ambient temperature shall not be lower than 15, otherwise it will cause indigestion and other symptoms. With the gradual increase and stability of the temperature, the amount of bait can be increased accordingly, and regularly fed some antibiotics such as epimycin, and the young turtles below 50 grams should also be fed a little calcium to prevent osteomalacia.
Water temperature: Yellow-edged turtles prefer to grow in water between 28-30, and keepers need to install heating equipment for them in spring and autumn and when there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening. >>>More
Feeding environment, when raising yellow-edged turtles, you need to choose a larger fish tank, put in the sand trapped in advance and tap water after drying, and the water temperature is stable between 28 and 30; To dry the back regularly, it is necessary to place a drying platform in the tank, so that the yellow-edged turtle can dry its back for 10 to 15 minutes in the morning or afternoon when the light is weak; Feeding method, you can feed small fish, shrimp and other active bait, and you need to feed once a day in juvenile years. >>>More
