Ask the precautions of turtle hibernation, and attach the recent situation of my turtle ~

If the landlord's tortoise warms the winter with a heating rod, and the water temperature is kept at about 25 degrees, it will not hibernate and will be fed as usual. Even adult turtles have certain requirements for hibernation. You must ensure that your body is very strong, otherwise you will not be able to survive safely. It is necessary for turtles to use heating rods to keep warm for the winter. Turtles are not as mature as adult turtles in all aspects, so it is difficult for them to keep up with normal winter.

Turtles should be put into the water when they hibernate, which is the safest and most suitable for them. The above answer is responsible ~! The tortoise will dry to death if the hibernation humidity is not suitable! And when hibernating, it must be placed in a dark and quiet place, and it is not allowed to take it out to bask in the sun. Put it in a box, sand or other places, the humidity is not controlled, and it is easy to dry.

It's 65438+February, and it's winter time. The turtle of the landlord is still young, so it's necessary to equip the turtle tank and the tools for heating and feeding quickly. Only in this way can it eat on time and spend the winter safely. It is impossible without a heating rod, because the temperature will gradually decrease. This little turtle can't guarantee the survival rate in winter. The special heating rod for aquarium has constant temperature function. It's no use putting warm water on the tortoise, it will get cold soon. The hot and cold water temperature is the most unfavorable to soft-shelled turtle, and it is very easy to get sick. However, you don't have to worry about the heating rod. When the heating rod is not used, it will start to cut off power, and the effect of constant temperature will not be achieved. Just leave the power on. When it reaches the temperature, it will automatically turn off the power, and when it reaches the specified temperature, it will automatically start the power-on heating. Must be completely immersed in water, in the deep water area, so as to ensure the temperature control and safe use of the heating rod.

At present, if the water temperature is very low and there is no heating, it must be eaten in water, and the biggest factor affecting the turtle's activity and appetite is temperature. Once the temperature drops, activities and eating will stop. In this way, you will fall into a dry state of relying on fat reserves for the winter. The landlord's turtle is just raised, and I don't know much about its physical condition. At this time of winter, it is necessary to raise it with a heating rod, set the water temperature at about 25 degrees, and feed it carefully.

The most suitable water for soft-shelled turtle is about 25 degrees Celsius. The water at this temperature feels neither cold nor hot, slightly warmer than cold boiled water, but it is definitely not warm water, let alone cold water, neither cold nor hot, and it feels just right. The water temperature of 25 degrees is most suitable for soft-shelled turtle. We feel that warm water is close to or higher than our body temperature, which is above 30 degrees. This temperature is too hot for the tortoise, so we can't give it warm water. After thoroughly cleaning the turtle tank every time, when changing water for the turtle tank, put in water of about 25 degrees, then put in a heating rod, and then set the heating rod at 25 degrees, so that the water temperature in the tank will be constant. The landlord can't afford a diving thermometer to monitor the water temperature at any time. Choose electronic digital display, don't use pointer or mercury thermometer, the error is relatively large.

When the water temperature is about 25 degrees, the tortoise eats and is very active. When the water temperature is about 20 degrees, eating is more negative, which is very different from when the water temperature is about 25 degrees. 16- 17 degrees, most turtles stopped eating. When the temperature is 13- 14 degrees, the turtle enters a lethargic state, and its spirit and activities are basically gone. Once the temperature drops, the soft-shelled turtle will enter a state of consumption, so this is also the reason why many soft-shelled turtles with weak constitution can't survive the winter.

As long as the temperature is lower than that in feeding standard, turtles will not have an appetite to eat even if they starve to death. It's this time of winter, so in order to ensure the survival rate of soft-shelled turtles in winter, we must warm and feed them on time, ensure the clean water quality, change the water on time and avoid getting sick. It is very important to ensure the cleanliness of water quality, which is the basis to prevent turtle from getting sick ~! The water temperature should be raised to about 25 degrees with a heating rod all winter to keep the temperature stable, otherwise it will be bad for the turtle. The heating rod can't be turned on and off, so the water temperature will be hot and cold, and the turtle is easy to get sick.

Turtles like fresh fish and shrimp food best. The landlord bought some fresh shrimps and cut them into small pieces to feed them. Everything can be frozen in the supermarket, and frozen storage is also very convenient. When eating, fully soak in water and completely thaw. When the water temperature and environment are right, it will eat well. Usually feed fish and shrimp, don't feed turtles with the meat of livestock such as pig lean meat, because there are many parasites inside, which makes them easy to get sick. There are also many shellfish parasites such as snails. If there are many parasites, it will be very troublesome to treat them with worms. Feeding small fish, fresh shrimp and live shrimp is very suitable for turtles to eat and thrive. After the body is strong, you can also feed turtle food every day to ensure a diversified diet. Be careful not to feed the turtle salty food, such as salty shrimp, dried fish, sausage, etc. Sodium chloride (salt) intake will cause edema of the body, and it is not suitable to have a little salty taste.

It is best to provide it with a spacious and transparent rectangular turtle tank, with a filter and a floating island. It is not only convenient to observe, but also beautiful and concise. A terrace that can provide shore rest is the most important. Be sure to equip the turtle with a floating island terrace so that it can go ashore to rest and sunbathe on its own. It doesn't matter if the water level is half or more of the water tank. Just make sure the turtle can't climb out. Sometimes when the water level is high and the water tank is shallow, it may stand on a floating island and climb out in the sun. If the gap between the cylinder and the ground is large, just be careful not to let the turtle break.

After several years of familiarity and careful breeding, the landlord's turtle. The size of the abdominal nail exceeds ten centimeters (cm). The body is very strong and the posture is not thin at all. If enough fat is stored in the body, you can hibernate normally in winter, and then you don't need heating to feed in winter. Put it in water when hibernating, which is most suitable for it. Put it in a box, sand or other places, the humidity is not controlled, and it is easy to dry. Find a spacious water tank or container, without putting anything, to ensure a certain volume of water. It is very important to stop eating before hibernation 1 -2 weeks or more and let it naturally excrete the remaining feces in the body. If there is fecal residue in the intestine, it will cause obstruction and the consequences will be very serious. When hibernating, there is no problem that the water level is above the turtle. When it wants to breathe, it will stick its head out of the water for air, which will not hinder it from sleeping at all. During the whole process, it has been sleeping, so naturally it is not necessary to open its eyes.

Turtles in the natural environment hibernate in cracks and mud at the bottom of the river instead of going ashore and drilling into the sand. That doesn't suit them.

May the tortoise of the landlord be healthy and happy ~!
