with the frozen tortoise? If the tortoise is frozen, it is better to put it in the normal temperature environment and wait for it to recover slowly. Never put it in hot water in order to thaw it, which will do more harm to it. For turtles, it is no problem to stay at zero degrees Celsius for a short time, but if the temperature is below zero or for a long time, it may affect their health. Even in hibernation, the general temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius.
of low temperature on tortoises? 1. Affect appetite: tortoises are poikilothermic animals, so if the temperature is low, their appetite will be significantly affected. Usually when the temperature is below 15 C, it will eat less or even not eat, so it can not be fed when the temperature is low under normal feeding conditions.
2, affect activity: Besides can affect appetite, low temperature still can make tortoise becomes inactive, still can enter dormancy state even. In the dormant state, it will not eat or drink until the temperature rises and it will wake up. It should be noted that dormancy can not be repeated in a short time, which is harmful to their health.
3. Affect survival: If the temperature is particularly low, the survival of tortoises will also be a problem. Although it can survive in the environment of 0 C in a short time, it will be frozen to death after a long time, usually the temperature should be controlled above 5 C, so as to safely pass the hibernation period.
