if my answer satisfies you, please select my answer. Thank you. The following are the precautions for turtles to hibernate. Please have a look: Before hibernation, you should put a fat on the turtles. Starting from September, you should let the turtles have a full meal twice a day for one month to store enough wintering fat. In October, turtles stopped eating. Soak turtles in slightly warm water, stimulate them to defecate with warm water, clean up their intestines, and clean up the feces left in their bodies so as not to cause intestinal diseases for a long time. In the half year after stopping eating, they live on these fats. If turtles are too thin or in poor eating condition, or too small, they will be heated to raise the temperature to 28 degrees during the winter, and they will eat normally. If they don't warm up, they will hibernate because of the reserve. The real hibernation method is to spread wet thick sand in the container and cover it with newspaper balls. The turtle will sleep in the sand by itself and replenish water once a week to keep the sand and newspapers moist. Hibernation is a test for raising turtles at home. First of all, you should make sure that your baby is healthy and free from diseases. Tortoise with poor constitution must never hibernate. Small turtles and young turtles suggest not to hibernate, which is very sad for winter! You can prepare some sand for the hibernating turtle, but if it doesn't climb in, don't bury it by force. Turtles that don't hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water, covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep them moist, and also have a certain degree of heat preservation effect. Turtles who hibernate in the sand should ensure that the sand is clean and pollution-free. Keep the sand moist during the hibernation of turtles. Tortoise may wake up during hibernation, so make sure it doesn't climb where you can't find it after waking up. In addition, turtles who wake up during hibernation must not be fed. When the temperature drops below 13℃, it begins to hibernate. During the whole wintering period, the head, tail and limbs all shrink into the shell, eyes are closed, and they don't eat, move or excrete until they emerge from the sting. If the environment is not suitable, it is difficult to get into the sting. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1-11℃. When the temperature is higher than 11℃, it is easy to cause the turtle to wake up, thus consuming physical strength, resulting in the decline of the turtle's physique, which is unfavorable for the growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period can also cause the death of turtles. Temperatures below 1℃ will frostbite turtles and even freeze them to death. Therefore, the possible temperature change factors must be considered when artificially setting the hibernation place for turtles. < P > Tortoise hibernation should start at different times according to different climates. When the temperature is below 1.2 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it starts from the end of October to March next year. First of all, put a fat on the turtle before hibernation, which I won't talk about in detail. Just remind you that the digestive tract of turtles must be emptied before hibernation, because the food left in the body will ferment, rupture the stomach wall and intestinal wall, and lead to death. The method of emptying is to stop feeding at least one week (preferably two weeks) before the temperature drops officially, and soaking him in warm water in the last three to four days will help him clear his feces. Hibernation care varies from turtle to turtle. Here are some suggestions. Tortoise in the wild, tortoises usually dig a hole to hide themselves in it, or find some other hiding place. For domestic tortoises, we can prepare a box for them, cover them with a pile of fallen leaves, or knead loose newspapers. If the turtle's native climate is humid and the breeding environment is dry in winter, we need to sprinkle some water on it every few days to maintain a certain humidity, but don't let them drown. During the hibernation of tortoises, we need to check them irregularly and touch their legs, and they should respond. If they wake up from hibernation when the temperature is still low, we should take some measures to encourage them to continue hibernation, such as covering newspapers or sand again. At present, most of the tortoises we see can't fall below 5 C during hibernation, otherwise they will die of excessive freezing. They can also be raised by heating to prevent them from hibernating. However, the frequency and amount of food they eat in winter will be reduced to some extent. When the weather becomes warm in March and April, the hibernating tortoises will start to move. At this time, the first thing we should do is to give turtles who have slept for several months a warm bath, so that they can drink water for a long time and replenish the water lost during hibernation. In a week or two, they will start eating, moving and sunbathing again. Water turtles in the wild usually dive into the mud at the bottom of the water or hibernate under rocks or fallen leaves on the shore. For domestic water turtles, there are several hibernation measures to choose from: 1. Bury them in wet sand, and pay attention to ensuring the high humidity of the sand. 2. Cover their bodies with wet gauze. 3. Put them in shallow water (this method is not recommended for semi-aquatic turtles like yellow-edged box turtles). 4. Put them in a wooden box and cover them with wet straw. The hibernating water turtles should also be checked irregularly. Don't let weak turtles or sick turtles hibernate, they don't have enough fat to consume during hibernation. Stop feeding one week before hibernation and soak in warm water, otherwise the accumulation of food and feces in the body during hibernation will easily cause gastroenteritis. Be sure to keep the humidity high, or you will die of lack of water. The ambient temperature during hibernation should not drop below 5 C, otherwise it will die of excessive freezing. They can also be raised by heating to prevent them from hibernating. However, the frequency and amount of food they eat in winter will be reduced to some extent. But for some species of closed-shell turtles, the process of not hibernating may be fatal, and they must hibernate. It should be noted that if the turtle is malnourished, haggard, weak and emaciated, don't let him hibernate. Usually, such a turtle doesn't store the necessary fat to maintain this period of inactivity, and when the "fuel" is exhausted, it will die unfortunately. Therefore, the breeder should try his best to ensure that his turtle is healthy and eats enough nutrition during the vigorous and active period. Problems that should be paid attention to after hibernation: When the hibernation period is coming to an end, the breeder can "wake up" the hibernating turtle, and the breeder should pay attention to never simply moving the hibernating turtle to a warm place for convenience, which will cause sudden death or other diseases of the turtle. Therefore, the environmental temperature of the hibernating turtle should be gradually increased, so that the turtle can have a gradual adaptation process. This process should last about a week, so don't rush for success! In addition, if the turtle just woke up from hibernation has no interest in food and refuses to eat, the breeder need not feel surprised. Like many people who just wake up from hibernation, turtles will feel dizzy and need some time to adjust, but turtles need much more time to adjust than people, which takes about 1-2 days or longer. Many turtles who just woke up from hibernation look skinny or seem to be malnourished, which is normal according to the usual situation. At this time, it is necessary for the breeder to have some patience. The feed for the first few times should be small and refined, and appropriate nutritional drugs and antibiotics should be mixed into the feed. Gradually increase the feeding amount, and after a period of time, feed the turtle according to its maximum food intake, so that the turtle can recover as soon as possible. When the temperature drops below 13℃, it begins to hibernate. During the whole wintering period, the head, tail and limbs all shrink into the shell, eyes are closed, and they don't eat, move or excrete until they emerge from the sting. If the environment is not suitable, it is difficult to get into the sting. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1-11℃. When the temperature is higher than 11℃, it is easy to cause the turtle to wake up, thus consuming physical strength, resulting in the decline of the turtle's physique, which is unfavorable for the growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period can also cause the death of turtles. Temperatures below 1℃ will frostbite turtles and even freeze them to death. Therefore, the possible temperature change factors must be considered when artificially setting the hibernation place of turtles. It won't eat until the end of hibernation in late March and early April. Turtles are omnivores, and young people love to eat meat. Can feed small fish, shrimp, pig liver, red worms, cockroaches and so on. Turtles usually eat in water. Turtles love vegetarianism when they are old. They will eat water plants. You can feed some washed vegetables. If you are too lazy to fiddle with those messy things, buy a box of turtle food and eat it slowly. High-quality turtle food is rich in calcium, protein, fiber, fat, vitamins A, B12, C, D3 and E. Nutritious, definitely not very delicious. Turtles must think so, too. Feed in moderation, the turtle's digestive system is not very good. The turtle is too small to feed too big shrimp, etc. to help it chop up. When they finish eating, fish out the leftover food. After the spring thunder, they began to eat. The water covered the carapace by 1.5CM, and they will eat it when the temperature stabilized (15-21), because they hibernate in winter. Although some of them don't sleep, they are throat-sealed, and they will eat it when the spring is over 21 degrees. The tortoise likes to bask in the sun outside in winter because the water is too cold. Give him food (preferably fresh) and he will eat it himself. Never mind ~ Besides, put the turtle in a well-lit place, not indoors at night (when it is cold) ~ Keep the temperature ~ The turtle is a tropical animal ~ When will the hibernation period of the turtle end? It's hard to say, different places are different. Generally, depending on the temperature, when the temperature is higher than 21 degrees, the turtle will eat. You can get a small pot with a diameter of about 15cm, a depth of about 9cm and a thickness of about 2cm on the bottom of the pot. Then spread a layer of dry sand on the wet sand with a thickness of about 5-8 mm. Then put the turtle on it. Then cover the soft cotton cloth, soft mattress and even fur (if anyone has more money). It can't be compacted. Compaction is not conducive to ventilation, and secondly, it is not conducive to keeping warm. Thirdly, too close contact between warm objects and turtles will absorb water in the turtle's body. Then you can put the whole basin behind the refrigerator (where there are fins) or in other warm and humid places indoors (except radiators, stoves and fireplaces, which will kill you). Every week or so, open it and check the moisture on the turtle's body surface (skin, not shell). The smaller the turtle, the shorter the cycle should be. Depending on the relative humidity of each place, the turtle owners adjust themselves. If there are signs of dryness (the most obvious indicator is whether the turtle can easily open its eyes), remember to add water to moisturize. Remember: Never spray cold water or warm water directly on the turtle or throw it directly into the water with obvious temperature difference from that in the hibernating basin for moisturizing. The sudden change in temperature is extremely easy for your turtle to catch a cold. When moisturizing, the turtle is taken out, and then the dry sand on the surface layer is removed, and the bottom sand is sprayed with water, and the amount of water can be appropriately adjusted according to the dryness of the bottom sand. Cover the dry sand after spraying, or put the turtles away and add warmth. Keep it indoors in a warm and humid place for the next time. Generally, around April of the following year, big turtles and small turtles will wake up from hibernation. You will feel thinner, but the big turtle will grow its shell in hibernation, and the shell will fall off the ground in the plastic basin, and you can see that there is a lot of attention on the edge of the shell: remember that the temperature should not be too high during hibernation, otherwise the turtle will not hibernate normally, but will consume the turtle's physical strength and die easily. Don't disturb the turtle's hibernation often, just check it for a month or so! Check it once a week to disturb the normal hibernation of turtles, which is easy to die. ..
