The originally warm National Day holiday suddenly cooled down due to the unexpected heavy rain, and the cooling rate in some areas even exceeded 13℃. Under such a large temperature difference, turtles are very prone to stress problems and even sudden death when they are kept in open air and the water level is shallow.
What is the basis for us to raise turtles? The most fundamental basis is temperature. For example, when the temperature is less than 10℃, most turtles have entered hibernation; when the temperature is less than 15℃, it is best not to feed them; when the temperature is more than 25℃, the turtles are very active and are also a good stage of growth; when the temperature is more than 35℃, most turtles start their own protective devices and enter the summer sleep state. Of course, the above values will change and adjust. Even due to the different physique and types of turtles, this range will change significantly. Therefore, the temperature range that the turtle raised by yourself needs to slowly understand
The basis for raising turtles is that the temperature is right, but you must think clearly about what temperature it is and where it is. Don’t understand it wrong and create some ridiculous things. Today, the temperature of Zibo is 11℃, but I still feed the turtle today, and the amount of feeding has not decreased. This is also a good time to gain weight in autumn. Then why is the temperature already <15℃,>
The most fundamental reason is that what you need to know is the temperature in the space where you raise turtle, not the temperature on the weather forecast. What impressed me most was that in winter, it was snowing heavily outside, and the turtle happily ate turtle food on the balcony. Such a contrasting landscape does have a unique charm. Of course, I did not heat the turtle, and did not set heating rod in the water, and no heating lamp was set above the turtle tank. I just need to prepare a thermometer for use on land. This feeding basis is also due to the temperature.
Do you still need to see the weather forecast? Of course, I have to see who can’t open the windows on the balcony? So, don’t argue. Talking about the facts. If you raise turtles, you don’t look at the weather forecast and don’t have a thermometer, so where can you raise turtles?
Maybe the turtle friends in the south do not have centralized floor heating or heating indoors in winter, and the temperature is very low, and they even need to wear cotton jackets indoors, which almost does not exist in the north. In the north, as long as you live in a building, every household will definitely have floor heating. If you live in a bungalow, there is also an wall-mounted boiler inside, which can be heated normally. Either way, the indoor temperature can easily reach above 25℃. The turtle does not hibernate and is very active. It should eat and drink.
So sometimes I would joke that turtles friends in the north have almost no holidays to raise turtles, and as long as they are kept indoors, it cannot hibernate. Of course, this statement naturally excludes underground/ground rooms or garages that are not heated. Then the turtle friends in the south may have to consider whether to heat up and spend the winter, or let the turtle hibernate, which is indeed more troublesome.
Will any turtle friends say that turtles do not hibernate, so this is a greenhouse turtle? Does it have any impact on the physical development of the turtle? Will it affect reproductive ability? Wait, this is actually incorrect. What is a greenhouse turtle? Not only does it heat up in winter, it is heated in a greenhouse all year round, and it also has a large amount of feeding. It is raised as a meat turtle. Our turtles do not hibernate in winter and are raised normally at the rest of the time, so they must not be called a greenhouse turtle.
No hibernation has no effect on the physical development of the turtle. On the contrary, it will grow faster because it does not hibernate and has energy intake under normal feeding, so it will naturally grow.The essence of hibernation is the behavior evolved by turtles to adapt to the harsh cold environment. If the turtle is placed in the tropical zone, will the turtle still hibernate? Therefore, the most important thing is not to over-myth the effect of hibernation. Let the turtle live without danger. Do you still need to be like nature, to survive the fittest, and to eliminate turtles with poor physiques like nature? This is obviously inappropriate.
So, whether it is this ghost weather or that ghost weather, as long as the temperature is enough, you will feed it, but the feeding amount is slightly reduced, and you can't feed it as hard as in summer. After all, the temperature is indeed much lower than in summer; if the temperature is not enough and cannot meet the requirements, even if the turtle wants to eat, it cannot feed it.
