When do black turtles hibernate? Black turtles, which are cold-blooded animals, are sensitive to the temperature of the environment in which they live. Basically, the main factor that plays a role in hibernation of black turtles is temperature. Therefore, when the natural temperature reaches about 10°C, black turtles will start to hibernate. Well, in our country, it usually starts in late October and lasts until mid-March of the next year. At this time, they will find a place with sand or rocks or cover to lie down, and hibernate motionlessly. They usually wait until the temperature rises above 15°C, around March or April, and they will gradually wake up, start exercising and eat a lot. After all, they have been hungry for an eternity. In fact, the hibernating black turtle is No need to feed. So what exactly are we going to do when the black turtle is dormant? Look down.
Thousand-year-old rogue turtle, dormant about the turtle It is very important for humans. This is also the natural habit of black turtles. In winter when the temperature is low and the days are short and the nights are long, they should hibernate. This is the order of nature, so turtle owners must follow these instructions, otherwise they will have serious consequences for black turtles. Serious damage will lead to shortened lifespan. However, one thing that needs to be noted is that if the turtles raised at home are too small, young, or weak, they should not hibernate. Because the body resistance of captive little black turtles is poor, hibernation can easily lead to death. What we have to do is easy. It is to maintain the temperature of the living water for the little black turtle, about 25 degrees to 32 degrees, and feed some specialized black turtle rations. The nutritional content of these rations is relatively balanced and comprehensive, which is very beneficial to the growth and development of the little black turtle and increases its resistance. . Feed once every four to five days, and fresh water needs to be changed once a week.
As the climate and temperature decrease, when the weather changes become more and more obvious, it is necessary to observe the normal situation of the black turtle. At this time, the black turtle will not eat much food and will not exercise much, so it may be close to Entering hibernation mode, what we need to pay attention to is that increasing the feeding of nutritious food and giving the black turtle adequate nutritional intake before hibernation will help it survive the long hibernation period, such as mealworms, high protein, high Energy; After eating, move to the sun for maintenance to promote digestion and absorption, and the energy is transferred into fat; help the black turtles to empty their feces and empty their stomachs to prevent the feces in the stomach from fermenting and decomposing during the hibernation period, which will lead to the death of the black turtles; The first step is to prepare a suitable hibernation environment. Spread suitable wet sand in the container, place a few stones, then cover it with a wet towel or book paper, and place the container in a quiet place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. .
