What to do if a turtle hibernates in a pool, does a turtle want to hibernate in the water

The tortoises in the pool hibernate generally without eating, drinking, or moving, mainly related to the ambient temperature, the weather is cold, and in winter, they will reduce their activity or even hibernate.

Generally, turtles do not need to be disturbed for hibernation, just keep the pool clean, and if possible, you can put some stones for them to hide, which is more conducive to hibernation.

If you don't want them to hibernate, you need to cover the pool, build a plastic shed, and then put a warming rod to warm the water to about 27-35 degrees. They will return to their activities. The disadvantage is that if the pool is too old, the cost will be high.

If it is a fish tank to raise turtles, it is generally placed indoors and a ceramic heating lamp is added. It is also possible to resume daily activities and eat daily.

Turtles hibernate, but not all turtles do. In particular, turtles with dorsal carapaces of less than 5 cm are likely to fall asleep and not wake up. These young tortoises are weak and are likely to freeze to death and starve to death while hibernating.

In the same way, sick turtles should not be allowed to hibernate until they have healed. Owners need to warm or put in a warming device to prevent the hatchlings from hibernating.

In the autumn, the owner needs to increase the amount of food to the turtle and stick the autumn fat. They can be fed meat to increase the fat content. At the same time, it is necessary to supplement it with some vitamins and calcium to make it healthy enough to cope with the subsequent long-term "hungry" state.

For a week before hibernation, don't let it eat, it's best to be able to empty the stomach. Turtles fall asleep with a full stomach, which can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases.

This is a normal phenomenon, and when the temperature rises, it will naturally wake up.

When winter comes, the tortoise will also begin to hibernate and begin to wake up when the spring warms up. Although many turtles will stay in the water, they generally don't need water when hibernating, and we can leave a little water to prevent the turtle from drying out. If there is too much water, the turtle is prone to death due to hypothermia.

Turtles generally hibernate in the soil, and turtles need to pay attention to the environment during the hibernation process, and should be placed in a relatively cool position to avoid direct sunlight. Be careful not to soak in water, but leave a little water to avoid over-drying of the turtle. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the turtle in a quiet place so that the quality of hibernation is not affected.

In addition to this, it is also necessary to pay attention to the issue of temperature, under normal circumstances, only when the temperature is below fifteen degrees can the turtle survive the hibernation smoothly.

1. Due to their own physiological structure, turtles need to hibernate when the temperature drops in winter. At this time, they do not eat or drink and generally do not need water. Of course, turtles that live in water still need water.

2. For most turtles, they don't need water when hibernating, but that doesn't mean they don't need water at all. Most tortoises can tolerate shallow water for hibernation and should be added at the right time, leaving a very small amount of water to prevent it from drying out.

The time at which the turtle begins to hibernate is not uniform and depends on the outside temperature. The range of 0-15°C is the hibernation temperature of turtles, with 5-10°C being the most suitable.

Turtles are homeothermic animals that cannot regulate their own body temperature, and their activities depend on the temperature of the external environment. When the temperature drops below 15, the turtle begins to gradually enter the hibernation period. Among them, 10-15, because the temperature is not low enough, at this time it belongs to the state of light hibernation, and the turtle wakes up while sleeping; When the temperature drops below 10, the turtle goes into deep hibernation.

But the hibernation temperature should not be too low, 5-10 is the best, when the turtle sleeps the most. When the temperature is below 5°C, the turtle may freeze; If the hibernation temperature drops below 0 for a long time, the turtle may freeze to death.

Winter is the hibernation period for turtles, about November to April, when the temperature is below 15 degrees, the turtles gradually stop eating, and begin to enter the hibernation period. Turtles and Brazilian turtles are turtles of the water turtle class, so they cannot leave the water during hibernation, and if they leave the water for a long time, the turtle will get sick and die of water loss.

The turtle should be placed in a tank with water for the winter, not too much water, the water can be put on the back of the turtle, and a square brick or stone can be placed in the tank. Turtles can climb on it when they want to bask in the sun.
