No, winter is coming soon, and some areas in the north should start heating. With the onset of winter, the turtles are beginning to enter a period of hibernation. Although hibernation can be a little rest for the owner, hibernation is a challenge for the turtle. Whether it can survive these months depends on its own physique.
But often before the turtle hibernates, we all think it is very good, how can it be so sacrificed in the spring of the following year? I can't help but feel very sad. Hibernation, though nature's screening, is not a form of "killing" that exists to reduce the number of this species. Therefore, there must be a reason why the hibernating individual did not survive.
First of all, it is especially important to observe and pay attention to the state of the turtle before hibernation. Because we can't expect a poorly healthy turtle to hibernate successfully, the probability is very low. There is already very little feeding before hibernation, and the turtle will excrete less, and more energy is spent on keeping a close eye on the turtle's health. Problems such as rotten skin, colds, enteritis, and eye infections should always be paid attention to, including whether it has eyes, strong limbs, and response sensitivity. Make sure the turtles that enter the hibernating environment are healthy.
Often because of our neglect, the tortoise with poor health enters a state of hibernation, which is also a large part of the reason for its inability to successfully complete hibernation and death. So, as autumn turns to winter, it becomes even more important to pay attention to the turtle's every move.
Secondly, the turtle's intestines are not done well. Turtles need to stop eating for a period of time before hibernation and clean their intestines. It's about letting it go naturally. Although there have always been turtle friends who have two views on whether to clean their intestines or not. However, after consulting an experienced big guy, it is better to clean the intestines.
If the turtle does not have a good intestinal cleansing, in the long hibernation process, there is still a lot of food left in the intestine, which will cause enteritis. At this time, if the disease occurs during sleep, it is estimated that you will not be able to sleep. Clean the intestines, conditions permit or give enough time. Needless to say, the thorough discharge is to see that the turtle's feces are white, indicating that the intestines are almost clean.
Moreover, it is related to the care during hibernation. During hibernation, although we were on vacation, we still had tasks. If you do not use shallow water hibernation, then you have to pay attention to the humidity of the hibernating environment, such as coconut soil, fine sand or moss and other hibernation media. After half a month and twenty days to see, is not enough humidity is too dry, you have to spray some water to maintain good humidity. It is better to be able to form by hand pinching, and it is not the kind of wet, so that the turtle is also prone to rotting skin and so on.
If you use shallow water hibernation, there is no such thing as water loss, but turtle hibernation is not equal to death, and the skin will still be weakly metabolized. It is also a period of time to check it, turbid or there are a lot of flakes floating on the water, you can start to replace part of the water. Replenishing new water is also to maintain the vitality of the water, and too long raw water is not good for the turtle.
In addition to the lack of care during hibernation, it is caused by our lack of environment. The rest is triggered by a lack of attention to the turtle. Hibernation is a test for the individual, but if you just want it to undergo such a test, then there is nothing to say.
Also, everyone must be concerned about whether the seedlings can hibernate? In fact, the small editor of the tail seedlings has also hibernated safely. It's just that the seedlings are best fed for a while, and the body is strong, and the hands are also heavy. As long as the way of hibernation is fought, there is also maintenance during the period, and it is possible to hibernate. But it's worth reminding you not to try the controversial varieties of red-faced, white-lipped, or inky eggs that should hibernate in themselves. If it is a large individual, it is not surprising that it will be carried by itself strongly, but Miaozi does not dare to say. Some big guys have said that a strong individual like Hillary Toad's head can also be carried by a strong individual who does not have to care about it in winter. So, it all depends.
Our friends in the south may be because the temperature is not cold enough, the ups and downs are large, resulting in the turtle species that can hibernate are not good to sleep, but there is also an advantage, that is, they can safely survive the winter for these species that are not hardy. Friends in the north are distressed that the outdoor temperature is too low, the turtle freezes to death, and there is heating indoors, and the temperature cannot reach hibernation. However, if the conditions permit, there is no need to deliberately warm up. Haha, all have their own troubles, so many times it is not a generalization, it depends on the specific situation.
