Before preparing for hibernation, the turtle must be healthy (health standards: observe the eyes as long as there is no white swelling, no ** ulceration, no ulceration of the turtle's abdomen and shell, no swelling of the limbs and other diseases) and eat food normally. And if it is not a sick turtle, a young turtle (a turtle larger than 6 cm), or a turtle that has not been wintered in the first year of purchase.
If these conditions are met, hibernation can be considered. Because sick turtles, young turtles, and turtles bought in the first year for the winter, the system is too weak, hibernation is easy, and physical strength cannot keep up. These 3 types of turtles that cannot hibernate should be considered to be warmed or semi-dry to use a warming rod (the warming rod ornamental fish market is sold, ask the store to pay attention to the usage.
The price of glass is about 20, and the heating rod of stainless steel is about 50 Simple ways not to hibernate Method 1Semi-dry cultivation 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, the breeding box must be covered with a small slit for ventilation can play a role in heat preservation If you do not add a warming stick, soak the water for 15 minutes and it will be almost cold Take out the turtle Dry it in the breeding box Wait for the next soaking Pay attention to the water temperature Be careful that the turtle has a cold Method 2 aBottom heating:
The heating pad can be placed under the cylinder, so as to avoid the baby turtle from being electrocuted due to the bursting of the heating rod. (suitable for shallow water small tank environment) b, water heating:
It is easier to place an electric heating rod in the water, but this has a disadvantage that the water should not be too shallow. If the water is too shallow, you can also use the method of setting the cylinder: the large cylinder is heated, and the small cylinder is placed in the heated large tank.
c.Air heating: Spotlights or ceramic heaters are good choices, but they require a relatively closed environment.
The two methods can be combined with a lid to prevent and control pneumonia in small turtles; In order to avoid unnecessary turtle boiling, you can consider configuring temperature control, which will be safer.

When do turtles hibernate?

Problem description: My tortoise always sleeps and refuses to eat, is it hibernating? Or are you sick? Can anyone tell me, thank you
Analysis: I have been raising Brazilian turtles for almost a year, and from experience, the situation you said should not be a big problem, but there are a few problems that need attention!
1. (*Very Main*) According to what you are talking about so far, I think the temperature must be too low, the turtle is an animal that can hibernate, if it is in its growth stage, especially in the north, if the temperature is too low, its physiology indicates that it is about to enter hibernation, and you add the temperature to more than 20 degrees The baby turtle must eat! When the heating is given, this phenomenon will disappear naturally! But it's better for you to warm up, otherwise you're afraid that the turtle won't eat for a long time, and the resistance will decrease and get sick!
2. The Brazilian turtle belongs to an amphibian, the living environment you arrange for it must be the kind of amphibious, if it is a fish tank, you can put a clean river pebble in it, so that the turtle will adjust its own water and underwater environment for it.
3. Be sure to change the water frequently for the turtle and turtle, because the turtle eats a lot and the water deteriorates quickly, and if you don't change the water frequently, you are afraid that the bacteria will breed too quickly. If there are too many bacteria, it is easy to get sick. Don't know how old your tortoise is?
4. If it hibernates, it can't be in the water, and it's best not to let it hibernate, which will affect its growth!
Don't worry, if you do all of the above, I believe your turtle will grow up healthy.

Turtles hibernate, and hibernation can promote the development of the turtle's gonads and reduce the loss of nutrients from the body. Consuming some meat can supplement a lot of protein as well as a variety of nutrients that your body needs. Eat it with vegetables in moderation to ensure a balanced energy intake.
Turtles hibernate, turtles are cold-blooded animals, when the temperature is too low, due to environmental factors that make it difficult to forage, they will choose to hibernate. Hibernation can not only enhance physical fitness and improve immunity, but also reduce the loss of nutrients, which has certain benefits for turtles.
After the hibernating turtle wakes up, the body is very weak, you can feed some meat, meat contains a lot of protein and a variety of nutrients, moderate consumption can supplement the energy needed by the body. However, it is not recommended to overfeed, as eating too much may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or enteritis diseases.
It is recommended to feed some fresh vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, greens, tomatoes, apples, bananas, strawberries, etc., which are rich in vitamins and can supplement the nutrients needed by the tortoise's body after hibernation. Long-term consumption can promote gastrointestinal digestion and resist the growth of bacteria, which has certain benefits for the body.
Put it in the bathroom or bathtub at a relatively high temperature.
Hibernation is important for tortoises. When the temperature drops below around 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it probably starts from the end of October to March of the following year. It is best not to hibernate in the first year of newborn turtles, and it is best not to hibernate in weak and sick turtles. >>>More
The tortoise is an ectothermic animal, in winter, or when the temperature is in a low condition for a long time, the tortoise will enter hibernation, different species of tortoises, the temperature at which hibernation begins is also different, but it is usually 10 15. At this time, the turtle will shrink into its shell for a long time, almost inactive, and at the same time it will breathe less, its body temperature will decrease, the speed of blood circulation and metabolism will slow down, and the nutrients consumed will be relatively reduced. This state is similar to sleep, except that it is a deep sleep that lasts for several months, and even appears as a slight paralysis. >>>More
Turtles need to hibernate because turtles are cold-blooded animals that are unable to maintain their own body temperature during the winter months to survive the cold winters. Therefore, the turtle needs to enter the hibernation period to survive the cold winter smoothly and avoid death. >>>More
