First, how to spend the winter with stone money turtles

Stone money turtles belong to aquatic turtles, which choose to hibernate in winter. From November to March of the following year, when the temperature is below 10 ℃, the stone tortoise will lie still in the mud at the bottom of the pond or in the loose soil covered with straw, do not eat and move, and hibernate, when its metabolism is very slow and weak. Individual-raised stone money turtles only need to create conditions suitable for overwintering, such as putting a layer of potted mud at the bottom of the tortoise container, laying water grass on top, and putting the stone money turtles on the inside of the straw without freezing, but to maintain the humidity of the straw and the temperature in the container. In addition, if it is a baby turtle, it is not recommended to let the baby tortoise hibernate, because in this way, the tortoise is very easy to die, the newly born tortoise can not withstand the severe cold in winter, and the mortality rate is very high. The turtle should be put in the house and continue to feed.

During the hibernation period of the stone money tortoise, do not easily disturb its hibernation. If you disturb the tortoise at this time, it is easy to make the tortoise wake up repeatedly in the hibernation state, resulting in the death of the tortoise, because repeatedly stinging during hibernation is a very strenuous thing. Even if there is no death, it will lead to the decline of the tortoise's physique, which will have a great impact on the tortoise's growth and overwintering in the coming year.
