There are two ways for turtles to spend the winter in winter. One is to keep the temperature constant. In this way, it is the same as the usual feeding method. Pay attention to feeding and changing water. It is OK to bask in the sun regularly. The other is hibernation, hibernation, then the situation is much more complex, first to ensure that the tortoise has the ability to hibernate for the winter, and secondly to pay attention to moisturizing and temperature control during hibernating, so as not to wake up early.
1. Select individuals: Not all turtles can hibernate. Generally, the turtles bought are cultivated in greenhouses. In this way, there is a certain risk of hibernation in the first year. Moreover, young turtles or relatively thin turtles cannot hibernate. It is necessary to raise adult turtles with strong adaptability at room temperature for one year.
2. Supplement nutrition: Hibernation usually lasts for several months, during which you do not eat, so you will consume your own energy, and usually lose weight after waking up. In order to ensure its health, it needs to start supplementing nutrition in late autumn so that it can survive the hibernation stage safely.
3. Stop feeding and cool down: In the two weeks before preparing for hibernation, it is necessary to stop feeding the tortoise. When it is time to hibernate, it is necessary to slowly cool down. The temperature should be reduced to above 10 ℃, preferably kept at about 5 ℃, so that it can maintain the state of hibernation. Spray a little water regularly and do a good job of moisturizing.
