We often see many little turtles do not wake up because their owners are not ready to hibernate in time. It is a great pity. Many novice turtles are worried about how to raise turtles during the winter. The following is an introduction for you:

1. How to raise little turtles in winter

1. First of all, due to the different climate between the north and the south. So the turtle goes into hibernation at a different time. After 20 ℃, the tortoise slowly did not like to move, and lost its appetite. At this time, you can reduce the frequency of feeding until you stop feeding. If the temperature drops to 17 ℃. You can stop feeding at all. During the period of unstable temperature, be careful not to feed it so as to avoid indigestion. Also prevent the turtle from catching a cold. Before preparing for hibernation, we can use warm water to stimulate it to discharge feces in the jejunum, otherwise the feces will rot in the intestines, causing the tortoise to die during hibernation. When we see that it emits white floc, it means it has been emptied.

two。 We can also prepare hibernating materials. We can teach you to use moss today. The moss impurities bought can be removed first and dried in the sun. Put it in the storage box. In order to prevent the tortoise from getting sick during hibernation, we can sterilize it once. You can use 1RU 2000 povidone iodine (5%) solution or potassium permanganate solution. Add 0.2 to 0.5 grams of potassium permanganate to 1 kg of water. It must be arranged in strict proportion. Otherwise, it will hurt the little turtle. You can go to the drugstore to buy the potassium permanganate tablets shown below.

3. After matching, we can put the turtle in the solution for 15 minutes. Be sure to note that the small particles of potassium permanganate melt completely. Otherwise, there are the small particles in the picture below. Turtles are easy to burn if they are eaten by mistake. After soaking, you can wipe the tortoise with warm water. You can also spray a small amount on the moss with a spray can.

4. Spray water on the moss put in the storage box. You don't have to squeeze the moss with your hands too much and it won't drip out. At this time, you can put the turtle in. Put some moss on the turtle. Then close the lid and be careful not to seal it completely. You can poke a few holes in it. So as not to suffocate.
