domestic tortoises in winter, one is to raise them by heating, the other is to hibernate. Heating is feasible for all tortoises, especially for young tortoises less than 5 centimeters in length, as well as some thin tortoises, because hibernation is still a certain risk. However, for strong adult turtles, hibernation also has certain benefits, which can not only promote maturity, but also enhance physical fitness, and the cost of feeding hibernation will be lower.
should we pay attention to in winter? 1. Pay attention to keeping warm: raising turtles in winter should first pay attention to keeping warm. Usually the family turtle will not let it go into hibernation, so keep the temperature around 20 degrees Celsius, if below 15 degrees Celsius, its appetite will decrease, and it will go into hibernation. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night should not be too large.
2. Pay attention to feeding: As the temperature drops in winter, the tortoise's vitality will also be affected, and it does not like to eat, so it must be fed at noon, when the temperature is higher, it is easier to eat. And the amount of feeding should be reduced, too much feeding may cause enteritis and other diseases.
3. Pay attention to water change: As in other seasons, water should also be changed in winter. Because there is not much water for raising turtles, and it excretes in it, it is easy to break down. It must be replaced as soon as possible before the water quality deteriorates. It is better to pour out all the old water and then add new water to it.
