The unique skill of the tortoise in winter is hibernation.Hibernation habits can be seen in many animals, the temperature is too low in winter, food is also relatively scarce, through hibernation can reduce the consumption of the body, through the cold winter.Normally, when the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius, the tortoise goes into hibernation, buries itself in the sand and does not wake up until the temperature rises.
1. Prepare sand: If a turtle in the wild wants to hibernate, it will first look for a suitable environment. The purpose of doing so is to avoid it being attacked.Therefore, if you want to let it hibernate, you also need to provide some sand or coconut soil, in order to be on the safe side, you need to disinfect the sand first, so as not to carry harmful bacteria, affecting the health of turtles.
2. Temperature control: The tortoise must pay attention to temperature control during hibernation. The temperature should be lower than 10 ℃. If the temperature is too high, it will wake up early. This will not only fail to achieve the effect of hibernation, but may even affect its life span.However, the lowest temperature can not be lower than 4 C, otherwise it will freeze to death.
3, spray water moisturizing: Tortoise in the hibernation period also need a certain amount of water, if the environment is too dry, its skin will gradually dehydration, will also lead to its death.So every once in a while, we should spray it with a little water to keep the body wet, and the water temperature should not be too low.
