at home for the winter, the first is to heat it for the winter, and the second is to keep it for the winter naturally. Heating for winter is generally suitable for small turtle seedlings, because this kind of turtle seedlings are easy to hibernate and die, so it is best to keep them warm and wait until the next year to hibernate. Natural winter is more suitable for adult turtles, which can promote their gonadal development, help them enter the reproductive state faster, and also enhance their physique.
1, supplement nutrition: prepare to let the tortoise hibernate, first of all, before the winter to supplement nutrition. Therefore, in autumn, we should feed the tortoise twice a day, choose some nutritious feed to feed, so that the tortoise has a certain accumulation, so that there is enough consumption in the process of hibernation, so that it can survive the winter.
2. Stop feeding and cool down: Two weeks before the tortoise is going to hibernate, it needs to stop feeding and start cooling down at the same time. The purpose of this is to enable the tortoise to adapt to hibernation. It should be noted that cooling should not be too much at one time, otherwise it will easily lead to tortoise illness, which can be reduced by 1-2 degrees Celsius every day.
3. Spray water to moisturize: Usually tortoises need to prepare sand and coconut soil for hibernation. They will get into it. In order to keep the environment moist, they need to spray water regularly. You can also consider hibernating in shallow water, but change the water once a week, and be careful to control the temperature when changing the water, so as not to wake up early.
