I usually raise turtles in winter. They all use shallow water to hibernate, which is particularly suitable for Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan regions. Northern In winter, there is heating indoors that can be fed like in summer, and it grows faster.
This time, two turtle seedlings died, one was flame turtle seedlings, and the other was stone gold coins turtle seedlings. Fortunately, the stone gold coins turtle is not as expensive as it was 5 years ago. At that time, the turtle seedlings cost 750 yuan each, but now it has dropped to two yuan per person. Otherwise, the loss is a bit big and a little distressed. Both of these turtle seedlings are less than 3.5 cm. They are very small, mainly too small, and have weak constitutions and cannot withstand the low temperature water body.
If they are individuals over 5 cm, they will still easily survive hibernation. Here I have 5 cm tortoise and flame tortoise hibernating. The temperature is 15 degrees Celsius and it is still very active. When I get closer, I still want to eat food. 15 degrees Celsius is just a shallow hibernation for turtles. Occasionally, they will move and see their owners coming over and think you are feeding them, and they will also crawl over to eat.
At 15 degrees Celsius, the water temperature is not low, so why would two turtles die?
is still too weak in physique, especially the tail seedlings cannot withstand hibernation, so if you want to buy turtles, try to buy large seedlings that are about 5 cm easy to feed. There are a large number of seedlings every July and August. Some turtle friends like to buy seedlings from childhood to adulthood, and enjoy the whole process of accompanying love tortoises to grow up. The first seedlings are the first seedlings that come out every year. They are strong in physical condition and will feed them with snacks. It will take three or four months to raise them until winter. The seedlings have grown into large seedlings, and there is no problem in spending hibernation.
turtles are most suitable for hibernation temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, but some turtles cannot hibernate, such as Yuanao turtle , West African turtle, yellow-headed side-necked turtle , Mata turtle , snake-necked turtle and other side-necked turtle . These turtles cannot hibernate. It is also not recommended to hibernate Ambu closed-shell turtle . Although Ambu has mastered hibernation skills, the temperature requirements are still very high. It’s okay for the ascendant and planted turtles, but it’s not recommended to hibernate the seedlings and large seedlings.
Red-faced egg turtle
part Egg turtle , such as common tropical turtle, such as Narrow Bridge, Mexico, Salvin, Red-faced, Diphtheria, White Lips, They are like Ambu, and hibernation is very not recommended.
Pig nose turtle is now a second-level protected animal. It was not allowed to be bought or sold before. Now, as long as you have a certificate, you must ask the turtle dealer to provide a certificate of source. Although a pig-nosed turtle is also called a turtle, it is not a turtle. It looks the same as a turtle, but the difficulty of raising it is greater than that of a turtle, and it is more pretentious and cannot hibernate. Not only can you not hibernate, but for the pig-nosed turtle who has been living in "summer", the temperature below 25 degrees Celsius will feel uncomfortable, and the temperature below 18 degrees Celsius will be in danger of life. Do you still hope it can hibernate?
