    Turtles don't eat much after the end of October, and they go into hibernation, which depends on the temperature, and if the temperature is high, hibernation will be delayed, and vice versa. After hibernation, the turtle does not eat or drink, and its head shrinks into its shell. At this time, put it in a cardboard box, put some newspapers, rags, foam and the like in the cardboard box, it will be cold, it will naturally get into the cloth, and then put the box in a warm room.

    Of course, there are other methods, this is everyone's own way, (mine is very simple, find a towel to wrap him, sprinkle some water at any time OK hehe).

    Before hibernation, when the water temperature reaches 22°C, human antibiotics are mixed with the feed to enhance the turtle's disease resistance. When the water temperature drops to 14, the activity of the turtle decreases, most of the turtles sink to the bottom of the water, stop eating, a few turtles only eat a small amount, then the pond needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and the turtle is inspected, the contents of the inspection include **, head, feces, parasites. Unhealthy turtles can not hibernate, should be selected to be raised separately, and raise the water temperature to more than 20 °C to make the turtle eat, and at the same time take corresponding measures.

    In hibernation, occasionally when the water temperature rises above 16 °C, the turtle will wake up and move, do not feed at this time to prevent the temperature from dropping at night, causing indigestion and other diseases. During the hibernation process, some abnormal turtles such as floating water and weak limbs should be fished out in time and kept in isolation. After hibernation, with the increase of temperature, the water temperature reaches about 18 °C, the turtle has a small amount of activity, some turtles have been able to forage, at this time can not be in a hurry to feed, should wait for the temperature difference between day and night water does not exceed about 6 °C before feeding, the first feeding needs to be fully changed and disinfected.

    Turtles generally hibernate in winter and do not eat, but some people have a very warm home and do not want the turtle to hibernate, so he must also eat. Turtles generally hibernate and don't eat, but turtles sometimes drink water, so turtles still have to put some water for them when they hibernate.

The tortoise is an ectothermic animal, so it is normal not to like to eat in winter, its metabolism is affected by temperature, not only will it not eat, but it will even enter a state of hibernation. At this time, there are generally two options, one is to keep it cold and let it hibernate, so that it does not need to be fed. The other is to raise the ambient temperature so that it can restore its appetite and feed it regularly. >>>More

Hibernation does not require eating, it does not die.

Hibernation maintenance: 1. It is very dangerous for turtles to enter hibernation, and it should be ensured that turtles have enough energy to ensure metabolism, at this time it is very important to control the temperature, and it is scientifically proven that the mortality rate of tortoises below 3 degrees is very high, so we should try to ensure the water temperature when tortoises hibernat. >>>More
