Hello everyone, I am Crawling. [Follow] I will watch more exciting articles and videos. Your attention and likes are my greatest motivation! Time has come October, and the weather is getting colder. If you decide to hibernate your turtle, then it is time to prepare for hibernation. As mentioned in the previous article, it takes about one month before to stop feeding the turtle to clear the intestines and prevent the undigested food from rotting and deteriorating in the abdomen during hibernation, resulting in the occurrence of gastroenteritis and and eventually death during hibernation.

In addition, Generally, tropical turtles cannot hibernate . The familiar Yuan'ao, spot pool, West Africa , etc. are all unable to hibernate. Generally, how do we determine whether turtles need to be heated from autumn until May next year depends on the native environment of the turtle species. If your turtle lives in the wild in tropical or subtropical areas, then this turtle can basically say goodbye to the word "hibernation". Today we are talking about species that can hibernate. Please go around. (PS: This article only takes the turtle as an example.) Without further ado, let’s start with the topic.

When the water temperature is stable below 15 degrees, the turtle will gradually enter a hibernation state. There are many ways to hibernate, but if classified, it can be roughly divided into two types: cold water hibernation and mat hibernation . First of all, cold water hibernation, as the name suggests, is to keep the turtle in water and hibernate directly. When the water temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius according to the temperature of the natural environment, it will enter a hibernation state. The advantage of this hibernation method is that it is simple to operate and is convenient to observe the state of the turtle during hibernation. If problems are found, timely measures can be taken to save the turtle's life. Cold water hibernation can also be divided into shallow water hibernation and deep water hibernation.

Deep water hibernation is more suitable for turtles with better water properties; for example: turtles, musks, and razors of the "Brazilian Face" family. The water level is about 20 cm, and then cover the container with foam boards and other shields to avoid light. shallow water hibernation must be distinguished and treated with according to the different habits of different tortoises. Generally, the water level can be as long as it exceeds the height of the dorsal armor. Generally, the turtles of the genus genus are operated in this way, such as: tortoise , tortoise and yellow-throated tortoises.

Of course, the above mentioned that turtles with better water properties can also use shallow water to hibernate, and just deal with it in a targeted manner according to your conditions. Because I am lazy and I am usually short of time, the musk and razor at home use cold water to hibernate in the original tank (the water level in the tank is 25 cm). I will not take them out separately and put them in a container, but wait for the water temperature to drop in the glass tank where I raise them, put covers around and on the top to avoid light, and then the turtle hibernates naturally. Of course, hibernation in shallow water is also prone to some problems, such as sometimes the problem of fungi and rotten skin on the back of tortoise shells, which we need to observe occasionally.

1 cold water hibernation will be finished, and the next issue will talk about hibernation under the lower material. The most commonly used hibernation of mats are coconut soil ( coconut bran ) and safflower . These two should be familiar to us turtle farmers. Every time we buy turtle merchants, they will put the turtle in a lunch box filled with sputum moss and coconut soil. So how should we use it? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of hibernation with mats?
