How can toads survive the winter safely?

Toad, also known as toad, is an amphibian with bumps on the body, and the toad extracted from the body is also a rare traditional Chinese medicine. Toad is an animal that can hibernate, so safe overwintering is very important for toad breeding. So how do toads survive the winter safely? Let's get to know it together.

1. Strengthen feeding in autumn

Toads are warm animals and go into hibernation every time the climate is cold, so we should strengthen nutrition when it goes into hibernation, otherwise it will die when hibernation ends. Toads and frogs, like toads and frogs, can only see moving creatures and can't see still things, so we should pay attention to this when feeding. We can put bean curd dregs mixed pig blood in a container, place it in the field, and let it ferment itself. Attract flies to lay eggs, hatch maggots and let toads feed on their own. In addition, in the evening or evening, turn on the lighting to attract mosquitoes for toads to hunt, and you can also buy yellow powder insects and snails to feed.

2. Prepare before winter

Toad farming is divided into outdoor and indoor breeding, but no matter indoor or outdoor, you should be prepared before overwintering. First, check the breeding area to see if there is any local water leakage. If you find water leakage, you should plug and replenish it in time. If there is no water leakage, check the water quality problem. If the water quality is poor, you should change the water in time. If the water quality is good, do not change water. When toads enter the water for winter, spray disinfection after diluting with bleach powder. Prevent and cure toad hibernating by germs.

3. Outdoor overwintering

Dig several ditches around the breeding site when overwintering outdoors, dig several ditches as large as possible, store water in the ditch about 0.3-1 meter, water storage depends on the temperature, slightly warm areas can store less water, while colder areas need to store water deeper, and then put 10-30 toads per square meter to winter, pay attention to the temperature and water surface conditions, if the temperature is low, the water surface freezes, it is necessary to break the ice in time, so that oxygen can be integrated into the water To prevent the death of toads due to lack of oxygen, outdoor overwintering should pay attention to the water surface at any time.

4. Overwintering indoors

Indoor overwintering is more convenient than outdoor overwintering, the water level of the breeding pond will be deepened about 20cm, and then put the toad overwintering, because the indoor temperature is higher than outdoor, so generally there will not be the phenomenon of freezing on the water surface, but we should pay attention to the temperature. If the temperature is high, the toad's hibernation is insufficient, which is not conducive to the later feeding. Keep the water temperature above zero and below 10 degrees.
