Turtles hibernate in winter and don't need feeding.

What to pay attention to about hibernation, just look here:

Before hibernating, you should give the tortoise some fat. Starting from September, soft-shelled turtles should be fed twice a day for a month to store enough wintering fat. By June 5438+00, the tortoise stopped eating. Soak the soft-shelled turtle in lukewarm water, stimulate the soft-shelled turtle to defecate with warm water, clean the intestines, and discharge the residual feces in the body to avoid causing intestinal diseases for a long time. If the turtle stops eating for half a year, it will live on these fats. If the soft-shelled turtle is too thin or in poor eating condition, or too small, heat it for the winter, adjust the temperature to 28 degrees, and the soft-shelled turtle will eat normally.

The real hibernating method is to spread thick wet sand in the container and cover it with newspaper balls. The tortoise 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 not hibernate. Little turtle suggests not to hibernate, winter is very sad! You can prepare some sand for the hibernating turtle, but if it can't climb in, don't bury it by force. Soft-shelled turtles that don't hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water and covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep them moist, which also has a certain heat preservation effect. Turtles who hibernate in the sand should make sure that the sand is clean and pollution-free. Keep the sand moist during the hibernation of turtles. The 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 from hibernation must not be fed.

When the temperature drops below 13℃, it begins to hibernate. Throughout the wintering period, the head, tail and limbs retract into the shell, close your eyes, and do not eat, move or excrete until they emerge from the sting. If the environment does not adapt, it is difficult to enter a dormant state. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1- 10℃. Above 10℃, it is easy to wake the turtle, which will consume physical strength and lead to the decline of the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during hibernation can also lead to the death of turtles. Temperatures below 0℃ will frostbite turtles and even freeze to death. Therefore, the possible temperature change factors must be considered when setting the hibernation place of turtles artificially.
