Brazilian tortoises hibernate. Hibernation is their living habit. Unless the breeder can keep the surrounding temperature at about 20 degrees Celsius, they will hibernate when the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius. When they hibernate, they choose a suitable place, dig a hole, bury themselves, and retract their limbs, tails and heads into their shells to ensure their safety.
The Brazilian tortoise's hibernation is not much different from its usual rest, except that when it hibernates, it will not move, eat or even defecate. When the temperature is below 6 degrees Celsius, they will go into deep hibernation. After entering deep hibernation, their body metabolism will slow down, and when the temperature is suitable, they will recover slowly.
should Brazilian tortoises pay attention to in hibernation? 1. Before hibernation: Brazilian tortoises will eat a lot of food before hibernation. Breeders can add antibiotics to the food they feed to enhance their resistance. When the temperature is below 15 C, the feeding should be stopped, and then the containers should be cleaned to prepare them for hibernation.
2. When hibernating: Brazilian tortoises do not need to change water or feed when they enter hibernation. Breeders only need to pay attention to the state of the Brazilian tortoise, if the Brazilian tortoise is floating on the surface of the water, it is necessary to isolate the breeding in time. When the temperature is below 0 C, the breeder should pay attention to covering the warm equipment.
3. After hibernation: When the temperature reaches above 15 ℃, the Brazilian tortoise will start a small amount of activity. At this time, it does not need to be fed immediately. It should wait until the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed 6 ℃ before feeding.
