How does the tortoise spend the winter?

Turtles will hibernate in the way of hibernation. Generally, turtles will hibernate when the temperature is below 15 ℃ and no longer eat. If the temperature is not less than 4 ℃, they can pass the winter safely. Therefore, when raising turtles, we must pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature. A month before the tortoise hibernates, it needs to be fed enough food, so that the turtle has enough nutrition to survive the winter.

Before hibernation, we should also check the growth of turtles, add more feed to the weak, and give more feed to turtles that they like to eat, so that turtles accumulate a large amount of nutrients, so that they can safely survive the winter.

About 10 days before hibernation, the tortoise is not given anything to eat, so that it can remove the feces from the body. When it is completely hibernating, just cover it with a wet towel and put it in a place where there is no noise.

Points for attention before tortoise hibernation

1. Check the physical condition of the tortoise, the turtle that has just recovered from illness, or the tortoise that is getting sick, or the tortoise that is too small, it is recommended to raise the temperature, or raise the temperature temporarily, and postpone the hibernating time, so as to ensure the health of the turtle in order to survive the winter safely.

2. Increase nutrition so that turtles have sufficient physical strength to survive the winter. Increase the amount of feed before hibernation, when feeding bread worms is the best, with high protein and high calories.

3. There is plenty of sunshine. If you eat a lot, you must absorb and digest. Let the turtle bask in the sun more, which helps to absorb and digest.
