If domestic tortoises do not hibernate in winter, they can be put into water. Hibernation is one of the habits of most tortoises, but this does not mean that hibernation is necessary. If you can keep warm, tortoises can survive the winter, but it will affect the speed of their development, causing them to enter the reproductive state more slowly. If you want to hibernate, you need to prepare sand or coconut soil, which can keep warm and moisturized.
of the tortoise for water? 1. Water temperature: The first requirement of the tortoise for water is the water temperature. The temperature should not be too low. Low temperature will affect its appetite and make it not eat. It is usually kept above 20 degrees Celsius. However, in winter, if tortoises want to enter hibernation, it is better to control the temperature at about 10 degrees Celsius, neither high nor low.
2. Water quality: Because turtles spend most of their time in water, the quality of water is particularly important to their health. Usually, we should pay attention to changing water, usually before and after feeding, and at the same time, we should clean up the food residues in the water, and the temperature before and after changing water should be consistent.
3. Water level: Usually, deep water is not suitable for raising turtles. The water level is not over the turtle's back, so that it can breathe as soon as it looks up. If it is a deep water turtle, it is better to prepare a place where it can land so that it can rest when it is tired of swimming. In addition, it is better not to soak in water for hibernation, but to prepare sand or coconut soil.
