Before a turtle enters a state of hibernation, it gradually stops feeding and is not very active.Then it will find a suitable place, usually in the wet sand, motionless and begin to hibernate.It will not wake up throughout the winter, until the spring temperature rises, it will recover from hibernation, this time can first soak in water, and then give it a little food, but do not feed too much, usually two-thirds of the normal amount of food.
1. Feeding in water: After waking up from hibernation, the first thing to do is to put the turtle into clean water to swim, because it will still consume water during hibernation. In this way, it can be supplemented, and it can promote defecation.After defecation, it needs to be fed, at this time to choose some high-energy food, but can not feed too full.
2. Disinfection and sterilization: The time when the tortoise wakes up from hibernation is generally early spring, which is also the season when bacteria breed. Therefore, for the sake of its health, it must be disinfected after waking up.Usually after feeding, it is soaked in potassium permanganate solution for a period of time, which can prevent the occurrence of some diseases.
3. Note: If the tortoise wakes up too early, be sure to cool down again and let it return to hibernation.In addition, during the whole hibernation period, it is better to avoid repeated awakening, otherwise it will consume too much physical energy, or even make it die.
