Little tortoises try not to go into hibernation in winter, because they are just born and have poor adaptability to the environment. If they go into hibernation directly, they may get sick and die. In addition, they don't eat much, and they can't store too much energy in their bodies, so they may not be able to persist until the end of hibernation.
In winter, breeders can use heating rods to keep the water temperature above 20 ℃, so that small Brazilian tortoises can live at a constant temperature all the time, which can not only speed up their growth and development, but also avoid getting sick after hibernation. After they develop for 1-2 years, they can go into hibernation directly.
2. What should small tortoises pay attention to in winter1. Temperature difference: When small tortoises spend winter, the water temperature should be kept above 20 ℃, and breeders should pay attention to the temperature difference between new water and old water when changing water. In addition, when the little tortoise basks in the sun, it is best to put it indoors. Because the temperature in the water is high, if they climb out of the water to bask in the sun, the temperature difference is too large, which may cause them to catch a cold.
2. Feeding: Although small tortoises are raised in a constant temperature environment, they still have the habit of hibernating in their bodies, so the amount of food they eat in winter is not very large, and breeders do not need to feed them too much food in winter.
