When breeding Brazilian turtles, there are many problems to pay attention to, one of which is the problem of hibernation. Brazilian turtles hibernate, and hibernate for a long time, so during this period of time need to pay attention to more aspects, can not be completely laissez-faire during hibernation.
The Brazilian turtle will hibernate, and their hibernation period is generally from November to April of the next year. However, the Brazilian turtle hibernation is also conditional, only when the water temperature is below 16 degrees. In this relatively long period of time, we need to do more. For example, to ensure that the water temperature is not too high, not higher than 15 degrees; Of course, it can not be too low, can not let the water temperature below 0 degrees, freezing is certainly not possible. Moreover, we have to pay attention to the water level, so that they can not be soaked in water all the time, of course, can not be completely dry, in general, to provide a slightly humid environment is more appropriate.
In addition, regularly check the body of the Brazilian tortoise to see if they have decayed armor or lung disease. When they hibernate, they can't be left alone all the time, because at this time their body will not move, their activity will decrease, their metabolism will slow down, and bacteria will easily infect them. Only regular inspection can avoid accidents. Moreover, before hibernation, you can put some cushions in the container, Brazilian turtles can climb up, pay attention to the cushions can be slightly moist, to create a more suitable environment for their hibernation.
