Matters needing attention in hibernation of razor turtle, whether hibernation is good or not 1. Precautions for hibernation of razor turtles

1. Feed more food: Before razor turtles enter hibernation, breeders need to feed them a lot of food, and it is best to feed more high-protein and high-nutrition foods to ensure that they have enough fat for winter. However, two weeks before they enter hibernation, they should stop feeding, let them completely metabolize, and then enter hibernation.

2, lower water level: Although razor turtles can live in deep water, they can't hibernate in deep water, so breeders need to lower water level before they go into hibernation. If conditions permit, they can be prepared with cushions such as coconut soil or water moss, which can ensure that their living environment is moist.

3. Humidify in time: Although the requirements of razor turtles on the environment will be reduced after hibernation, breeders should also pay attention to the humidity of the environment, and it is best to spray water on them regularly to ensure that the environment is moist.

2. Is it better for razor turtles to hibernate or not

It is best for razor turtles not to hibernate in their infancy, because they have poor physique in their infancy, and their resistance and immunity will decline after hibernation, which is likely to cause illness or freeze to death. When they reach adulthood, it can be judged according to the temperature. If the temperature is low, they'd better go into hibernation. If the temperature can be kept above 20 ℃, it is best not to enter hibernation. Because razor turtles usually don't hibernate when they are in their native place, not hibernating will not affect their health.
