There are two ways for turtles to spend the winter, one is natural hibernation, and the other is greenhouse winter.Natural hibernation requires the selection of strong turtles, put them in an environment where the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, they will enter a state of hibernation, and will not wake up until the temperature rises.On the contrary, greenhouse winter needs to be placed in a warm place, feeding and changing water normally, so that it can spend the winter normally.
1, enhance physical fitness: For tortoises, after the experience of hibernation, the biggest improvement is its physical fitness, can naturally hibernate tortoises are generally more easy to raise than greenhouse tortoises, adaptability is also stronger.And the tortoise's ability to resist disease will also be enhanced, thus reducing the possibility of its disease.
2. Promote development: Like other animals, the tortoise needs to grow for several years before it can become mature. If it is raised in a greenhouse, this time may be longer. However, after hibernation, the secretion of sex hormones in the second year will increase, so that it can enter the reproductive state more quickly.
3. Reduce metabolism: Although the metabolism of the tortoise itself is not fast, during the hibernation period, the metabolism will be even slower, and it does not need to eat, and its own consumption is very low, so it can save part of the feeding cost. It may not matter if it is raised by individuals, but it is very effective if it is raised on a large scale.
