Turtle shell solar terms

As long as the tortoise is not sick and there is nothing unusual, it is better to let nature take its course.

Sting, the third of the 24 solar terms, means that the thunder in spring awakens the dormant animals underground, and the time for everything to recover is just around the corner. The so-called "sting" actually means that animals hibernate, and our common pet turtles belong to this category.

Because the newly awakened tortoise is very fragile, and the temperature is not stable at this time, a cold current strikes, and the temperature in some places will drop to near zero. This will do great harm to your beloved turtle. It was at a loss because of the hot and cold weather. When the weather changes, wild turtles may avoid in time, while domestic turtles may be slow to respond.

If the turtle hibernates in a relatively dry environment, it should be allowed to move for 2-3 days after it is fully awake, so that it can fully absorb water and defecate thoroughly. When waiting for stretching, soft-shelled turtles with weak constitution can replenish electrolytes when necessary.

The first zd feeding after hibernation should focus on restoring the turtle's physical strength. Turtles should be fed with high-energy and digestible food, but the first feeding should not be too full, which is about two-thirds of the normal food intake.

The shad belongs to the tortoise and turtle class. Sometimes, turtles are called golden turtles, grass turtles, mud turtles and mountain turtles. Taxonomically, it belongs to reptiles, turtles and turtles, and is one of the common turtles.

This is an ancient reptile. It is characterized by a very strong carapace on its body. When attacked, turtles can retract their heads, tails and limbs into the inner tube of the carapace (except turtles and snapping turtles).

Most sea turtles are carnivores, feeding on worms, snails, shrimp and small fish, as well as stems and leaves of plants. Turtles are distributed in almost all areas of China, but the yield in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is higher. It is also produced in various parts of Guangxi and Shandong, especially in southeastern and southern Guangxi. Foreign countries are mainly distributed in Japan, Brazil and North Korea.
