What do turtles eat? How do you raise turtles in winter?

Generally, novices who have just started raising turtles say that they hibernate.

Not necessarily when they actually hibernate.

Because novices will not tell if the turtle is sick or hibernating.

As long as the sick turtle is sleepy, it gives people the illusion that it is hibernating in winter. How to tell if the turtle is sick and lethargic or whether the really healthy turtle is hibernating depends on it.

In the past, eating normally was not and the spirit was better.

Do you have any white swelling in your eyes? Are there white spots and signs of peeling on the extremities? Do you open your mouth to breathe, and your breath still makes a sound? Are there bubbles in the nose? Observe and I'll break it down for you.

There are many reasons not to eat, 1When the weather is cool and the water temperature is low, the turtle will increase or decrease its appetite as the temperature changes.

2.Sick. 3.Just bought it back and was not familiar with the environment.

4.The food doesn't fit well.

The two most important points of raising turtles are to keep the water clean and the temperature of the water to keep the temperature constant, the temperature in spring, summer and autumn should be at least 22 degrees or more, or the turtle will catch a cold.

An easy way not to hibernate.

Semi-dry culture is to soak in water 3 times a day.

For about 15 minutes each time, the water temperature can be warm to the touch of your hand, and the breeding box must be covered.

Leave a small slit for ventilation when covering.

It can play a role in heat preservation.

If you don't add a warming stick, soak in the water for 15 minutes and it will almost be cold.

Take out the tortoise.

Dry in the vivarium.

Wait for the next soak.

Pay attention to the water temperature. Beware of turtles catching a cold.

Food problems. If you have a terrabahn, you like to eat meaty food. Feeding of terrapids turtles:

Nutritious foods such as small fish, shrimp, and raw 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, you will have indigestion and will get sick. Turtles mostly eat in the water, sometimes on the shore, and can be thrown directly into the water, or they can place their food in shallow water or near the slope where land and water meet. When feeding shrimp, you should feed it with the shell to supplement calcium, but cut off the spikes of the shrimp head.

Water quality issues. If you don't have a filter at home, it's best to change the water once a day, and feed it once a day, don't feed too much, the turtle doesn't feel full, and the vitamin will not digest well, causing swollen legs. The amount of food a turtle eats is determined by the size of each turtle's head.

Turtles defecate after eating, so it is easy to get rid of the meat tank if it is not cleaned in time. The water department is clean, and the turtle is easy to get sick when it stays in the water.

As long as the water quality is kept clean (the water quality is best exposed to direct sunlight for more than 1 day, it can prevent turtle white eye disease and water mildew, nail rot, rotten skin disease, etc.) and the water temperature is constant (keeping the water temperature good can prevent turtles from getting colds and pneumonia and other diseases) These two points are mastered well, and the turtle is not easy to get sick.

Feeding environmental problems.

The turtle is an amphibian, if it is placed in a pure pool that is not connected to the land, the pool must be placed with stones, bricks and other platforms exposed to the water surface for the turtle to dry its back and rest, the turtle likes to hide in the hole, so you can use bricks to build a turtle nest to improve the turtle's sense of security.

I feed the turtles with small fish or egg yolks. They eat quite deliciously, too. But if you want to raise a turtle, you have to feed it every day, otherwise you can feed it less, and the turtle will not starve! Turtles don't seem to hibernate, do they?

In general, turtles that are too small should not hibernate.

I'm afraid I won't wake up. Be sure to give the turtle enough fat before hibernating.

Otherwise you will starve to death.

The general temperature drops below 10.

The turtle will gradually go into hibernation.

When the time comes, it is necessary to keep the temperature not too high.

Just don't go too low.

It's spring. Naturally, the turtle will wake up on its own.

The Brazilian tortoise is the best to feed, and when I was a child, all green was the most beautiful! You just feed it small pieces of meat and eat it both raw and cooked. Eat only meat!

But I want to tell you, it is a harmful species in our country, it is imported to Brazil, and it is very harmful to the environment of our country when it grows up and is released, especially when it grows up, it is not green, and I personally don't like the big Brazilian tortoise. Lifespan 30 years.

The Chinese grass turtle is also known as the common earth turtle. This turtle is very easy to raise, basic rice, somen noodles broken into small pieces, cabbage leaves broken and thrown inside. The characteristic of this turtle is that it is basically black in color and quiet.

Basically, it is only raised for about 8 months every year, and a pot of sand and soil should be prepared for the other 4 months to hibernate without eating or drinking. The sand must be in a large pot, preferably the size of a bucket, and the sand should be loosened. If there is less sand, the turtle will freeze to death, and the sand is not loose, and the turtle is not good at digging holes.

Grass turtles are characterized by their super long lifespan, basically 60-80 years.

Pearl turtle, a native turtle in southern China. This turtle is a pure water turtle that lives in ponds. Basically, it eats the same as a grass turtle, but it doesn't eat meat and only vegetable leaves.

It lives in the water all year round and does not hibernate. Therefore, you should be careful about the water temperature and keep it not too low in winter. The pearl turtle is the flower turtle and has a lifespan of 30-40 years.

Adults are larger than grass turtles.
