How to raise turtles in October

First of all, you should feed more food from September, twice a day, so that it can store enough overwintering fat. After the turtle does not eat, soak the turtle in warm water to let the turtle defecate and clean its intestines. Then spread the wet sand in the container containing the tortoise and keep it warm. When the tortoise enters the hibernation period, the temperature can be controlled at 1-10 ℃. In addition, after the tortoise enters hibernation, we should pay attention to the following things.

What are the precautions for tortoise hibernation?

1. Turtles lose their appetite when the water temperature is below 20 ℃. The turtle should be fed two months before hibernation and fasted the week before, otherwise the food residue in the intestines can not be digested and absorbed normally, which will affect the health of the tortoise.

two。 The tortoise begins to hibernate below 10 ℃, and the temperature should be between 0 and 10 ℃. Turtles more than 10 ℃ will not hibernate, while turtles below 0 ℃ will be dangerous.
