/kloc-wake up for dinner at 0/6 degrees.
Ensure that the temperature is not lower than ten degrees when hibernating. Don't put it in a ventilated place, and keep it moist at the same time. Although the tortoise doesn't eat, it still needs water to moisten it. By the way, Brazilian turtle is half water turtle and half turtle. Too dry or too much water is not good ~
When you say "defecation and emptying", you mean "clearing the intestines" about two weeks before hibernation. If the intestine is unclear, things will accumulate in the stomach, and the turtle's stomach will rot and proctoptosis after deterioration, leading to death.
As long as you don't give food when clearing your intestines, you don't need turtle to poop more ... (you can't give him laxatives to empty it ... so his physical fitness can't keep up and he can't survive the long winter ~). Before clearing the intestines, you need to supplement nutritious food, so that your physical fitness can reach the standard and you can spend the winter safely.
In addition, the preparation for hibernation depends on the climate of your city and the conditions where you live, such as the south and the north. Home, bedroom ~ ~
Young turtles have poor resistance, so hibernation is not recommended. It is recommended to spend the winter at constant temperature.
Most ten-centimeter turtles can adapt to hibernation. In fact, if it is domesticated, it is generally not necessary to hibernate in a particularly harsh environment ~ Brazilian turtles have strong adaptability and are an entry-level choice for turtle breeders. If it weren't for man-made pollution, it wouldn't be so easy to die ... not so exquisite ~ ~
