    Turtle shell. There are several cases of whitishness: first of all, you need to observe whether the turtle's back and abdominal carapace have signs of whitishness, if there is, you need to touch it with your fingers to see if it is hard or soft, if the shell is soft, then it may indicate a lack of calcium or indicate the problem of rotten nails and rotten skin disease.

    Secondly, if the shell of the turtle appears whitish and hard to the touch, it may have something to do with the water quality, such as the pH of the water.

    Disproportions can also lead to their tortoise shells.

    If there is an abnormality, if the pH value is greater than 7, it needs to be replaced regularly. The last case is to see the turtle's back appear foggy white, this situation may be caused by calcium deficiency after peeling, and vitamin D3 needs to be supplemented while giving the turtle sun

    To replenish and help the turtle recover, the water in the usual environment also needs to flood the tortoise's dorsal carapace to avoid dry and cracked dorsal carapaces.

    Brazilian tortoise. There are several possible reasons for the whitish shell of a turtle. First, nail rot is caused by turtles living in water with poor water quality for a long time.

    Second, rot. This is caused by a bacillary infection. Because of the high feeding density, the turtles bite each other, and after the invasion of germs, it will cause necrosis of the injured part of the ** tissue.

    Thirdly, it may also be that they are shedding their skin, which is normal and a sign of the growth of baby turtles. The turtle sheds its skin like a snake, but it does not shed all at once, but slowly. Don't help them tear at this time, just wait for them to fall off naturally.

    Second, how to turn the shell of the Brazilian turtle white**.

    If you find that the Brazilian turtle has a whitish shell, at this time we can first take out the turtle and clean the turtle with clean water, you can use a soft bristle brush to gently brush, and then wash it by hand, and then wash the turtle's tank, focus on cleaning the tank wall, after washing, use iodine wine.

    Wash the mixture with water again, and then get some iodine mixture and then put the turtle in it to soak it, don't put too much iodine wine, just the water is red. After soaking, wash the turtle with clean water, and then put it in a clean place to dry it, or you can put it on the ground, but be careful that the turtle runs away. Then during this period of time, they are dry, put in the water to feed when feeding, and then wash and then dry and raise, but must not put to often feed the turtle water, the turtle can not eat but must not be without water, remember it.

    It'll be fine after a while. But you can't keep it like this for too long, the turtle is a very slow recovery animal, so just feed it like this for more than a week, and then the turtle will slowly get better on its own. Usually change the turtle and change the water frequently, so that the turtle will not get such a disease again in the future.

    There are several conditions that need to be considered for whitening. The first is shelling. It's a normal process of growing up, there's no need to panic, and those shells can even be saved as a souvenir.

    The second is the lesion. If there are some strange things on the surface, such as cotton wool. Or other growths that aren't carapaces may be infected.

    If it is white. Most likely, it's mold. Find a special medicine for a medicated bath.

    Also, don't let it soak in water for a long time. It would be nice to give more sunlight or lights.

    Then there's another kind of subtraction that happens during growth. Because the pigment when I was a child was more condensed. In the process of growing up, it will naturally slowly disperse and fade. This is only when it matures. will slowly regain the original color and develop into darker colors.

    If you don't have the ability to move. Problems with loss of appetite. Actually, don't worry too much. It's a pretty healthy water return. Speculate according to your careful observations. He should grow up healthy.

    If you still don't feel at ease. It is recommended that the water quality can be adjusted. Add filters. And the normal formulation of the time of light per day. In this way, you can avoid the infection of the source of the disease as much as possible!

    Anyone who keeps a tortoise should want to know what is the reason for the whitish shell of the tortoise. If the turtle's shell appears whitish, it may be due to severe alkalinization of the water, and the surface of the turtle's shell will appear to be wrapped in white rough plastic.

    Therefore, in the process of raising turtles, it is necessary to regularly check the water quality with pH test strips and replace the water to prevent the turtles from being harmed by alkalinization of the water. At a temperature of 25, if the pH value is less than 7, the water is acidic, and when it is greater than 7, it means that the water is alkaline, and the larger the value, the more serious the alkalinization.

    It is also possible that the fungus has damaged the cuticle on the turtle's shell, and the shell will turn white. The most effective way to do this disease is to put the turtle in a low temperature environment and let it go into hibernation, which is generally about 3 to 4 months, and it can be effective.

    There are two main reasons for the whitish shell of the turtle, one is that there are many chemicals in the water, which bleaches the turtle shell, and the other is a fungal infection, which turns white pathologically. Moulting the shell, the whitish place of the turtle is mainly concentrated around the gap of the turtle carapace, and it is not obvious after soaking in the water.

    Water alkali, basically whitish is in pieces, whether it is dried or soaked in water, it is obvious.

    The fungus is not obvious when soaked in water, but it is obvious after drying.

    It could be a fungal infection or it's simply too dry, you can moisten it with water. If it's too dry, it's fine after wetting it with water. Fungal infections can be applied.

    The turtle shell is always dry and white, and the back is the minimum, put more water, otherwise the turtle shell will be deformed.

    The water in which the turtle lives should be fresh, and the water should be about 30 centimeters transparent. Turtles are ectotherms, and changes in water temperature will directly affect the temperature of turtles, so the water depth should increase or decrease with the seasons. In spring, the temperature is lower and the water is shallow; In summer, the temperature is high, and the water should be deep, and in autumn, the water temperature gradually decreases, and the water should be shallow; The water level should be stable in winter, because the body temperature of the turtle changes with the rise and fall of air temperature and water temperature, if the temperature drops sharply, the water level is high and low, the turtle can only use its own accumulated nutrients to regulate the body temperature, and when the nutrients in the body are exhausted, it will die.

    Generally, water turtles are raised with tap water, which is basically neutral water, and its hardness and pH meet the requirements for raising water turtles, so there is no need to worry too much in this regard (except for some exception species, such as diamonds, martas, Japanese stone turtles, nail necks, etc.), however, when tap water is used to raise water turtles, the chlorine in it must be removed. The main methods are drying method and chemical method.

    The selenium drying method is to dry in the scorching sun for two days, or in a place lacking light for 4 to 6 days before it can be used.

    The chemical method is to remove chlorine with sodium thiosulfate, the ratio is to add 1 gram of sodium thiosulfate per 10 kg of water, stir and dissolve, and then it can be used.

    Turtles shed their skin, which is normal in general. Some of the thinner old skin falls off, then it is a normal peeling phenomenon of turtles. In addition, the deck of the turtle is tilted one by one, which is also a phenomenon of peeling.

    These shedding ** or carapace can be peeled off for them by hand. If it is not peeled off, it will affect the growth of new ** and carapace, resulting in the uneven length of the carapace that should be flat and smooth. It is possible to promote the metabolism of ** and carapace by drying the carapace.

    Turtles are ectotherms.

    When the water temperature drops below 10, it lies still in the bottom silt or loose soil with mulch. The hibernation period is generally from November to the beginning of April of the following year, when the water temperature rises to 15, the burrow is active, and the water temperature is 18 20 to start feeding. When the air or water temperature drops below 15 degrees, the turtle begins to hibernate shallowly.

    When the air or water temperature drops below 10 degrees, the turtle begins to hibernate deeply.

    When the air or water temperature drops below 5 degrees, the turtle dies.

    During the period, as long as the temperature begins to rise at any time, the turtle will have signs of awakening, but if the temperature rises and falls, then the turtle sleeps and wakes up very physically exhausted, and it is easy to die of physical exhaustion, so the turtle also needs a relatively stable temperature for hibernation.

    Some turtle species will change their shells as their bodies grow, which is a normal situation, and generally appears with water turtles and tortoises.

    Basically, there will be no shell change.

    Turtle molting is a normal phenomenon, but should distinguish the neck (including front and rear paws) or tortoise shell molting, generally the neck and claws around summer (depending on the species), will molt, turtle back plate peeling does not necessarily appear every year, if the growth and development is more vigorous, the frequency of plate shell peeling in young turtles will be higher, older turtle plates will generally develop layer by layer, as if there will be no peeling.

    Summary. Hello, dear. The tortoise hibernate and disappear because of the indoor temperature.

    If the outdoor temperature is still very low, much below 15 degrees Celsius, then the turtle wakes up, probably thinking that it has caused the tortoise to unexpectedly warm up in its hibernation habitat, making the tortoise mistakenly think that spring is coming. <>

    Hello, dear. The tortoise hibernated and disappeared because of the indoor temperature. If the outdoor temperature is still very low, much lower than 15 degrees Celsius, then the turtle wakes up, probably thinking that it has caused the tortoise to unexpectedly heat up in its hibernation habitat, making the tortoise mistakenly think that spring is coming.

    Take measures: reduce the number of heating appliances that are turned on and off repeatedly in cold weather, and the turtle will repeatedly hibernate and wake up, and the turtle will continue to consume energy, which may cause sudden death or other diseases of the turtle. If the outside temperature has exceeded 15 degrees Celsius and the temperature has stabilized, it is a sign that the tortoise has really woken up from hibernation.

    1. When the temperature rises to 15, the turtle will wake up from hibernation, the turtle body after waking up is relatively weak, don't rush for food, even if they are fed, they will not eat, they should first put them in clean water to swim for a day or two, let them defecate completely.

    2. After the turtle defecates, you can feed it for the first time, and the food should be high-energy food, in order to restore the tortoise's physical energy, such as live fish, live shrimp, earthworms, raw meat, etc., but do not feed Bi Nian too much.

    3. After the first feeding, the turtle should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for disinfection and sterilization, because the turtle that wakes up from hibernation is weak and its resistance is also reduced, and the bacteria begin to breed in spring, and the turtle is prone to disease.

    Turtles hibernate and grow up probably because during hibernation, their metabolism slows down and the chemistry in their bodies slows down. This means that the need for food and water is reduced accordingly. When the turtle wakes up from hibernation, the body begins to deplete stored nutrients and fat stores due to the re-acceleration of metabolism, and needs more food and water to meet the needs of growth and development.

    In addition, turtles may remain active and constantly ingest food and water until they go into hibernation. Therefore, after a seasonal cycle (e.g., spring, summer, and autumn), if they grow and develop normally, it is likely that they will enter hibernation the following year and will be larger than the same period last year.

    In conclusion, proper management and feeding under conditions such as proper control of temperature, humidity, etc., and following a proper breeding plan can help ensure that turtles can grow healthily.

    <> turtle enters hibernation, the state is not moving, and the metabolism of the turtle after hibernation is very slow and weak.

    Precautions for winter feeding of turtles:

    1. Turtles are ectotherms, and their lives are greatly affected by the ambient temperature.

    From November to March, when the temperature is below 10, the turtle lies in the silt at the bottom of the pond or lies in the loose soil covered with straw, does not eat or move, and hibernates, at which time its metabolism is very slow and weak. It wasn't until early April, when the temperature rose above 15, that the turtles began to resume their activities and feed in large quantities.

    2. In the hibernation period, there is no need to feed the feed, and there is no need to change the water, the main work of this period is to keep warm, such as covering straw around the pool and the open space between the pool and the fence; The second is to prevent the invasion of natural enemies of turtles.

    3. About 10 days before hibernation, start not to give the turtle food, let it remove the feces in the body, and when it completely enters the state of hibernation, just cover it with a moist towel, and then put it in a place where there is no noise.

    When heated, tortoises do not hibernate. The key to hibernation is temperature, not season. If the temperature drops below 15-13, the turtle will start to hibernate at a suitable temperature of 1 10.

    Generally, it is recommended not to hibernate young turtles, young turtles, sick turtles, and thin turtles. If none of the above is true, hibernation is no problem. The advantage of not hibernating is that it grows like winter and matures faster.

    Therefore, many turtle businessmen do not let turtles hibernate so that they can grow up quickly and become commercial turtles faster.
