There are two ways to spend the winter. One is to spend the winter naturally, that is, to simulate the wild environment so that it can hibernate. The advantage of doing so is to accelerate its maturity and enter the breeding stage faster. The other is to heat the winter, to ensure the warmth of the environment, and other times can be raised normally, so that although the maturity is slow, but the winter will be more secure.

2. What

should we pay attention to in hibernation? 1. Supplement nutrition: If you want to hibernate in late autumn, you must pay attention to feeding. At this time, you should feed it twice a day, so that it can have enough nutrition to survive the winter. Fish and shrimp are usually the main food, and lean meat can also be fed with some vegetables.

2. Stop feeding and soaking in water: When the ornamental tortoise is about to hibernate for two weeks, it is necessary to stop feeding it and cool it properly so that it can enter the hibernation state. In the week before hibernation, it needs to soak in water to promote its excretion of feces in the intestine. If it does not excrete cleanly, it will hibernate, which will affect its health after awakening.

3. Cool and moisturize: Provide the ornamental turtle with a little sand or coconut soil so that it will hibernate inside. During hibernation, we must pay attention to controlling the temperature, usually between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius, if it is too high, it will wake up early. Check it every once in a while and spray it with water to moisturize it.
