When did the tortoise start to hibernate?

Turtles hibernate from 10 to March and April of the following year, that is, when the outside temperature is below 15 degrees, if the temperature is always above 15 degrees, turtles will not hibernate. But turtles don't always hibernate at the right time. According to different regions, turtles hibernate at different times. As long as it reaches a fixed temperature, the tortoise will go into hibernation.

Turtles enter the hibernation stage to breed;

1, paste

What does sticky fat mean? Actually, it's supposed to be fed. From the above, we know that turtles usually hibernate in June+10 in 5438, so from September, they should be fattened, that is, fed twice a day for one month to store enough wintering fat.

2. Empty the stomach

You should also pay attention to fattening the turtle. Generally, it can't eat again about a week before hibernation, but its stomach should be emptied. Because if the tortoise hibernates hungry, it will get gastrointestinal diseases. For example, you can raise the water temperature appropriately, stimulate turtles to digest food and empty their stomachs. 3. Prepare sand and soil for the tortoise to hibernate.

Many turtles hibernate in sand, so when they are about to hibernate, prepare the sand. That is, pour sand and mud into the turtle's winter container, and then knead it into a ball with waste newspapers to cover it. As a master, you can properly replenish water to the sand once, but don't dig sand frequently to find turtles.

4. Temperature

Because turtles usually hibernate in an environment of more than ten degrees Celsius, don't give them sunshine during hibernation, and don't put them in an air-conditioned room. Because too high a temperature will make it wake up early and consume a lot of fat. Once the tortoise doesn't get the sun, it will hibernate again, so it will starve to death during hibernation.

Two months before the tortoise hibernates, it can increase the nutrition of the tortoise feed and help the tortoise gain weight. Accumulate a lot of fat in the body to resist the cold and reduce the probability of hibernation. In addition, the turtle must clean up the food left in the body before hibernation to avoid the food fermenting in the stomach during hibernation, which will cause the turtle's large intestine infarction. Generally, feeding can be stopped one month before hibernation. If you are afraid of food remaining in your body, you can give the turtle a warm bath. If the turtles at home are young or sick and don't want them to hibernate, you can adjust the temperature to 22-30 degrees Celsius.
