1. Soft-shelled turtles spend the winter in deep water or shallow water It is best for soft-shelled turtles to spend the winter in shallow water. First, shallow water can reduce the loss of water pressure and make them hibernate better. Secondly, soft-shelled turtles breathe with their lungs and need to float to the water regularly to take a breath. However, they may hibernate after winter, and they have little activity after hibernation, so they are more suitable for living in shallow water in winter. Finally, the dissolved oxygen in shallow water area will be more than that in deep water area, and the turtle can get more oxygen.
2. What should turtles pay attention to when hibernating1. Keep humidity: The water level of turtles is generally not too deep when hibernating, so breeders need to spray water on them regularly to keep their humidity. You can also put a wet towel next to them, which can also keep the humidity.
2. Stop feeding: Turtles will not eat after hibernation, and breeders do not need to feed them, but it is best to take them out regularly and soak them in water to avoid dehydration.
3. Regular sun exposure: Although turtles seldom eat and drink after hibernation, breeders should regularly transfer them to the outside to bask in the sun. More sun exposure can sterilize and prevent them from getting sick during hibernation, and sun exposure can also raise their body temperature and make them more comfortable.
