How to keep a tortoise indoors in winter? How to raise indoor turtles in winter

My little turtle is just as small as you, I don't want to hibernate it, so I just bought a warming rod and put it horizontally and then added water to cover the warming rod, and then put a small stone next to it, and the stone should be higher than the water. The room temperature of your house is about 20 degrees, but the temperature in the water is definitely not 20, and the baby turtle will not eat until it is less than 20 degrees, so you must warm it, as long as you are warm enough for the turtle and the turtle body is fine, it should be able to eat.

Truth be told, if your turtle doesn't stick to it, you should buy a heater. I bought it at Eleven, and I didn't feed them, so I had to use the heater. Safety, I'm a junior high school student, and I'm fine all day long.

However, the water should be flooded over the heater. Also buy a thermometer so you can know the temperature at all times. It is recommended to adjust to 27-8 degrees.

After a few days of use, it came alive. It's useless next to the heater, it's still cold.

Turtle hibernation is a natural phenomenon, there is no one who wants to think about it, the main thing is that the turtle itself is cold to "sleep (hibernation)" and quietly tell you a method I have used: it is to use the hot water in the bath and mix it with cold water, (the water temperature can not be said to be suitable for yourself, because the temperature of the person is not the same as the temperature of the turtle, but it is summer, put it on your hand to warm up) Put the turtle in the water, the water will cool, so you can also use heating, and the water in the tank is also warm, and the turtle is easy to adapt.

But you can't stop it from hibernating, some turtles need to hibernate and if they don't hibernate enough, it can lead to death, especially now that it's winter, and it doesn't eat to indicate that it's going to hibernate. When it warms up, it should have an appetite. (The above are all personal I wrote, please don't plagiarize!!)

Thank you.

It is best to keep the temperature at around 25°C and control the temperature at around 28° when eating.

Indoor tortoises generally hibernate in winter, so be sure to feed them some time before the hibernation period.

The best time to feed at this stage is around 10-12 o'clock during the day, when the temperature can help the turtle blood circulation and promote digestion.

Turtle friends in the south can also choose a day to feed. But even if it's feeding, it should be controlled to about 2 times a week.

Observe the turtle every day, if you are sick, you should be timely if you have rotten skin and rotten armor, and don't let the turtle spend the winter with illness.

You can choose a constant temperature blister to increase the blood circulation of the turtle, wait for the excretion to be completed, and then gradually cool down to hibernation.

Check that the turtle is healthy and you can start hibernating.

At this time, you can't feed anymore, don't let the turtle and turtle be ruined because of a moment of ignorance and soft-heartedness.

Turtles don't need to spend much time caring for them in the winter, because they hibernate at a certain temperature. In winter, we need to prepare high-nutrient, high-fat food for the turtle in advance, and in the winter we no longer need water to feed, we can buy fine sand, and occasionally add the right amount of water during the tortoise's hibernation period to avoid cracking the turtle shell.

Indoor tortoises can be raised normally in the winter.

There are two ways to raise turtles in winter, one is to hibernate and the other is to warm up for the winter.

Warming, knock on the blackboard, and mark the key points Whether it is the south or the north, if you don't hibernate in winter, you must warm it Turtles are ectothermic animals, and the temperature difference in winter is large compared to other seasons, and not heating will cause various diseases, such as colds, pneumonia, rotten skin, etc., and they are not very active below 20 degrees. If you don't plan to hibernate, you need to heat it to about 25 degrees. Only by doing a good job of heating and constant temperature can we avoid the possibility of onset.

The following situations do not require heating for hibernation:

Turtle seedlings under 5 cm. Turtle seedlings are small in size and weak in physique, and it is easy to not wake up in winter, which is very risky. However, there are also some friends whose turtle seedlings can survive the winter smoothly. Everyone is free to choose, preferably without hibernation.

Turtles with poor constitution and often sick turtles and turtles that are getting sick.

Tropical turtles, such as West African, yellow-headed, side-necked, etc.

Turtles are the pets of many people in the family, and many friends who don't know that turtles must hibernate in winter think that turtles must hibernate in winter, is this really the case? What are the disadvantages of forcing a tortoise to hibernate? Let's learn how to keep turtles next winter.

1. Matters that should be paid attention to when raising turtles in winter.

1.Turtle seedlings and old, weak, sick and disabled turtles (light, floating).

Due to poor resistance to stress, disease resistance and physical fitness, the body is unable to replenish after the consumption of nutrients in winter, and the body dies due to lack of physical strength.

Rescue measures: transfer young turtles and old, weak, sick and disabled (light, floating water) to the indoor insulation for winter consumption or edible medicinal purposes.

2. Forcing the tortoise to survive the winter.

Artificially sealed turtles for winter, the environment is dry, the water source, the turtle can not drink water, can not maintain a weak metabolism in winter, because of lack of water depletion and death.

Rescue measures: Turtles must drink clean water freely during the winter months (pools must be replaced) and provide an environment suitable for humidity.

3.Improper feeding.

Improper feeding of turtles before and after wintering can lead to digestive and excretory diseases and complications that lead to death.

Countermeasures: (1) The feed shall not be less than 20 (generally about 3 months from the end of November to the end of February of the following year);

2) Pay attention to the weather forecast, do not feed three days before the arrival of strong cold air, the most avoided eating is the day before the temperature is higher, the temperature plummets, and the temperature difference ambassador eats whole turtles are most likely to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases;

4.Rational management.

One month before winter, stop eating and soak in warm water to clear the intestines, because in winter (about 3 months from the end of November to the end of February of the following year), the turtle's excretory system will still work (the pool must be opened), but the digestion and absorption function is poor. In winter, a temperature of less than 5 should be taken (about 3 months from the end of November to the end of February of the following year). During the winter (about 3 months from the end of November to the end of February of the following year), do not disturb the hibernation of awakened turtles (repeated hibernation and awakening can also lead to the death of turtles).

Second, how to raise turtles in winter?

Place the turtle in the leech's sorting bin (sand can be substituted) and cover with leaves. "Vermiculite (sand) should be wet, grab it with your hand when you let go of it. You can also hibernate indoors by piling 30 cm thick sand on the corner of the house or on the side of the pool.

When the temperature drops to a certain level, the turtle will sneak into the sand to hibernate. When hibernating, you can cover the surface of the sand with a layer of straw or leaves to avoid the sand pile being too cold.

To hibernate indoors, it is necessary not only to keep the surrounding environment quiet, but also to prevent rodent infestation and prevent turtles from escaping from prison. Because during hibernation, if the temperature rises, when the temperature rises, the turtle wakes up. When the temperature drops again, it burrows back into the sand and hibernates.

It is necessary to change the water frequently, keep the water clean, and trap it after using the water, because most of the city's tap water contains chlorine. It is the best way for baby turtles to feed more meat, earthworms, and bread worms, which is simple and convenient, and the turtle seedlings grow quickly.

In short, raising turtles in winter is a very important thing, only for everyone's reference and learning, the key points of winter management of turtles at different stages are different, for example, turtle seedlings need to be more carefully cared for than adult turtles.
