Raise tortoise to still put sand commonly. The stone particles are relatively large, and some are very sharp, which may hurt the turtle's body, so it is safer to use sand. In addition, when turtles breed, they lay their eggs in the sand and drill into it during hibernation, so sand is more suitable for them. It should be noted that the sand should be disinfected before use, usually pay attention to sprinkling water, keep it wet.
1. Digestion: There are many functions of raising turtles and putting sand. As an omnivorous animal, it eats a lot of kinds of food, and some of them are not easy to digest, so it is necessary to eat some sand, which can help digestion. It should be noted that if you eat too much sand, it will cause constipation, so you should also prevent it appropriately.
2. Spawning: Tortoises usually lay eggs. They need to lay their eggs in a safe place. Therefore, before laying eggs, they often look for a piece of sandy soil, dig a hole in it, and lay their eggs in it. If there is no sand, the tortoise will lay its eggs in the water, and once exposed to water, the eggs will be difficult to hatch.
3. Hibernation: Many turtles have the characteristic of hibernation. In order to survive the cold winter and avoid other harmful organisms, they often choose to hide themselves in the sand during hibernation. In this way, they can avoid being frozen or encountering other dangers. During hibernation, they also need to ensure that the sand is wet.
