The hibernation of a tortoise is a few months, and the hibernation of a tortoise is several months

There are also many reasons for not eating. Maybe the water temperature is too low, at least it should be heated to about 25 degrees with a heating rod, maybe it's because of a loss of appetite caused by other diseases, maybe it's a problem with the gastrointestinal function itself. These reasons should be investigated and observed one by one.

It is recommended that you go to professional forums such as [Crawling World], [Turtle Forum], [Spirit Turtle Home], [Turtle Turtle Building], etc., post, transfer pictures, consult master turtle friends, and usually study professional medical and breeding knowledge in these forums.

There are a lot of non-majors, and it is too easy to mislead turtle friends. Don't rely on it.

The professional forum is the right guidance.

In fact, if the usual feeding method is correct, the turtle will not get sick easily, so the owner must do self-examination

Turtles are a breed of turtles. You should first determine exactly what the species of turtle is, search for the turtle's ** on the turtle to see if it is a water turtle or a tortoise. If it's a tortoise, go to the turtle's forum for more information.

If it is a water turtle, it is better to raise small turtles in water, and large turtles can be properly free-range. But the Brazilian turtle is a water turtle after all, and it should not be out of the water for a long time.

If you are free-range and dry-raised, in addition to basking in the sun in the morning, you should usually go out for activities, and you should often put it in the water most of the time.

Shallow or deep water cultivation is OK, and the surface of shallow water is generally just below the turtle shell. When raising in deep water, put stones and other objects in the water that turtles can climb up to prevent choking.

When the water temperature is above 24 degrees Celsius, turtle seedlings within the size of the palm are fed once a day, large turtles are fed once every 2 or 3 days, fish and shrimp, loaches and other staple foods, and bloodworms and bread worms are fed in rotation as non-staple foods. Make sure your food is varied. It's not that turtle food can't be fed, but it's like instant noodles, a quick food, that doesn't have much nutrition and shouldn't be used as a staple food.

Do not overfill each meal to avoid affecting the digestive function of the stomach and intestines. When the water temperature is too low, it should not be fed to avoid gastroenteritis. Or use a heating rod to heat the water to 24 degrees or more.

Cooked food is absolutely prohibited, salty food is prohibited, and rotten food is prohibited. It is absolutely forbidden to feed bread, rice, biscuits, ham sausages, etc. Change the water twice a week and brush the tank.

It is best to dry tap water for more than 24 hours before use. Pay attention to the temperature difference between the water temperature before and after the water change is not too large. When it's cold, don't make the temperature difference between room temperature and water temperature too large.

Please measure accurately with a thermometer. Otherwise, the temperature difference is too large, which can easily lead to colds or pneumonia.

There are also many reasons for not eating. Maybe the water temperature is too low, at least it should be heated to about 25 degrees with a heating rod, maybe it's because of a loss of appetite caused by other diseases, maybe it's a problem with the gastrointestinal function itself.

Get in the sun frequently in the morning for an hour or so to avoid sunburn. However, sick turtles should not bask in the sun.

In the Gangnam area, it is generally from mid-November to mid-April or late of the following year. There are about five months.

Turtles hibernate for 3 months, starting in December and continuing until March of the following year. Before the turtle hibernates, they need to be fed more protein-rich meat to accumulate fat for wintering, and they need to stop eating and soak in water to discharge impurities half a month before hibernation. During hibernation, the room temperature should also be stabilized at around 10, and sand and coconut soil should be prepared for the turtle to burrow and hibernat.

Turtles hibernate for 3 to 4 months, but in the southern regions, the temperature is higher, and the hibernation time will be shorter. Turtles generally hibernate from December to March of the following year, when the temperature rises above 15 before it wakes up.

In order for the turtle to survive the hibernation period, it needs to be fed protein-rich meat to supplement nutrition, and in autumn, it needs to be fed twice a day to accumulate enough fat for winter. Half a month before hibernation, you need to stop feeding and soak it in warm water to promote bowel movements. If a turtle hibernates with impurities, it will be more difficult to defecate after waking up.

In addition to the need to stop eating, it is also necessary to take care to lower the room temperature. The tortoise is an ectotherm that hibernates only at low temperatures. Generally, during hibernation, the room temperature needs to be stabilized at about 10, and it should be reduced by 1 2 per day, and the minimum should not be lower than 10.

Before hibernation, prepare the sand, put the turtle in the sand, and it will burrow to hibernate on its own.

Turtles hibernate in general from November to April, a period of five months.

Turtles are ectotherms, and when the water temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, they prefer to lie still in the sand and rocks under the water or find a signal shelter to start hibernation. When the weather warms up and the water temperature rises to 15 degrees Celsius again, the hibernation activity will end, and feeding will begin when the water temperature reaches 18 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius.

Under normal circumstances, the turtle will hibernate until April. But the specific months they hibernate depend on the region they are in and the degree of guess in which they live.

If it is in the south, the warming time is relatively early, and they may wake up in March.

If it is northern, the time of warming will be later, and some areas in the north may need to recover to 15 in May, so the turtle will also hibernate until May before waking up.

Turtles get a lot of food before hibernating. At this time, they will eat like crazy to stock up on the energy they need to survive the winter. However, two weeks before hibernation, they will stop eating and completely excrete the food from their bodies, so that the food will not be in the body during hibernation, causing gas or disease.

When the temperature drops below 15, the turtle goes into hibernation. When the temperature drops below 10, they go into deep hibernation. Turtles burrow into mud or silt when they hibernate and need to be prepared with mud or sand when they are raised.

Turtles generally hibernate from November to early April, when the weather warms up and the water temperature rises to 15 degrees Celsius again, it will end hibernation and begin to feed when the water temperature reaches 18 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius. Turtles generally hibernate from November to early April, when the weather warms up and the water temperature rises to 15 degrees Celsius again, it will end hibernation and begin to feed when the water temperature reaches 18 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius. Turtles are usually ready to hibernate in autumn (starting in October and November), and when the temperature drops to around 20 to 15 degrees Celsius (roughly at the end of October), the turtle's appetite begins to weaken day by day.

From this point on until they begin their hunger strike, they should pay attention to the observation and adjust the amount of bait they feed.

When the temperature reaches 15, the tortoise begins to hibernate gradually. Among them, 10-15, because the temperature is not low enough, is in a shallow hibernation state at this time, and the turtle sleeps and wakes up. When the temperature drops below 10, the turtle goes into deep hibernation.

During hibernation, it is important to keep the temperature constant and not go high or low, which will cause the turtle to be disordered. The humidity needs to be kept within a certain range, it cannot be dry, and water needs to be added regularly. Intense light can affect the hibernation of turtles, so care needs to be taken to hibernate in a dark environment while trying to be as quiet as possible.

After the end of hibernation, the temperature in spring will also be capricious, which will cause the difficulty of feeding, so you need to pay special attention to not feeding immediately after the end of hibernation, pay special attention to the first feeding, and wait until the temperature is stable to gradually feed a small amount to avoid causing enteritis.
