The tortoise does not hibernate is OK.Although in nature, most turtles have hibernation habits, mainly because as a poikilothermic animal, their activities are affected by temperature, and in winter they can hardly find food, so they choose hibernation to spend.But if raised at home, as long as the temperature can be maintained, usually mainly feeding and changing water, can grow well without hibernation.
1. Supplement nutrition: The tortoise needs to consume its own energy for hibernation, and usually loses a lot of weight after waking up.Therefore, in order to make it better through the hibernation period, it is necessary to give it a good supplement of nutrition before that.Usually feed a little fish, shrimp and chicken, but also with a proper amount of vegetables to ensure a balanced nutrition.
2. Promote defecation: If the tortoise hibernates with stool, the feces will rot in the intestinal tract, affecting the health of the tortoise, so it is best to promote defecation before hibernation and let it empty the intestines.This requires soaking in warm water for a period of time, and changing water in time after excretion, so as to avoid deterioration of water quality and lead to its illness.
3. Cooling and moisturizing: The tortoise needs to cool down when it is hibernating. Control the temperature well. Once it rises to 20 ℃, it will wake up, which will affect its life span.In addition, regular water spray to keep the body moist, so as not to dehydrate during hibernation.
