How do turtles sleep? What are the habits of sea turtles?

Turtles sleep in more positions, such as in the sun.

Generally, when the turtle is raised at a temperature of 15 degrees or more, it starts to eat, and from June to September, it eats more, and around November, the amount of food begins to decline. When the water temperature drops below 15 degrees, the turtle goes into hibernation.

When the turtle spends the winter, usually prepare a plate indoors, put about 20-30 centimeters of sand in the plate, put the hibernating turtle on it, and then sprinkle a thin layer of fine sand, and cover it with a layer of wet gauze on the top, at this time the turtle can spend the hibernation period.

If the turtle is not suitable for hibernation due to poor constitution, you can use a heating rod to keep the water temperature at about 28 degrees, and then feed it normally.

Sea turtles feed on fish, cephalopods, crustaceans and seaweed. Although sea turtles have no teeth, their beaks are very sharp, and different species of turtles have different eating habits. Sea turtles are categorized into herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous.

Sea turtles eat aquatic plants while also swallowing seawater, ingesting large amounts of salt. Some special glands next to the tear glands of the turtle excrete these salts, causing the turtle to "tear" on the shore.
