for

a tortoise to hibernate in shallow water. The specific heat capacity of water is relatively large, so the change of temperature has a certain delay for it, so although the temperature may be below 0 C, the water surface will not freeze. However, to be on the safe side, it is better not to put it in a too cold place, check it once a week, and change the water once a month, so as to ensure its safe winter. If you are worried, you can use sand or coconut soil to let it hibernate.

2. How to hibernate without hibernation?

1. Raise the temperature: If you are not ready to hibernate, you should first raise the temperature of the environment, because it will hibernate at low temperature. It is better to keep the temperature above 20 degrees Celsius, otherwise its vitality will be affected and it may not even eat. In addition, attention should be paid to maintaining a constant temperature, which can easily cause tortoises to suffer from pneumonia if the temperature changes greatly.

2. Regular feeding: Tortoises that do not hibernate still need to eat, so they should be fed regularly. According to the feeding habits of turtles, we should choose the right feed. For example, turtles who like to eat meat should be fed with fish and shrimp. If they like to eat vegetarian food, they can feed some fruits and vegetables, but these foods can be matched with each other to ensure more comprehensive nutrition.

3, pay attention to change the water: because the tortoise does not hibernate, it is necessary to soak in the water, but also pay attention to keeping warm, so the water is still very easy to break, must be replaced regularly. Every time the water is changed, it must be changed completely, and the temperature must be consistent before and after the water is changed. If the temperature difference is too large, it will cause illness.
