According to media reports, Xiao Li, a student of Henan Institute of Animal Husbandry and Economics, found that his turtle was still alive after school started. It's incredible to know that it's been more than eight months since the Spring Festival. I was supposed to bring it back to take care of it, but I didn't bring it back because it was winter vacation and the tortoise was hibernating. I didn't expect to go to school in the first half of the year. I thought the tortoise had already died, and I was still crying with guilt.
But according to Xiao Li, it happened to be winter vacation, and the tortoise was hibernating, so she mixed soil and water to make mud and put the tortoise into hibernation. In addition, the tortoise suffers from onychomycosis. She found fresh camphor leaves and covered the mud with a layer of articles. I didn't expect the tortoise to be alive. At that time, its shell was already very soft. After adding water again, the tortoise moved happily again.
Second, the nature of the incident Xiao Li's turtle is a Brazilian turtle. In fact, its life span is only about 30 to 40 years, but turtles are naturally tenacious and can survive for a long time even if they don't eat or drink. In addition, there may be some bugs in the mud. As for camphor leaves, it does have a great effect. Covering them with mud means reducing water loss. If the tortoise stays in the water, it can survive for a long time with tenacious vitality.
In fact, Kobayashi, a classmate of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, also keeps a turtle, but her turtle is not so lucky. After returning to school for 8 months, she found that the turtle had turned into a dry shell, indicating that a turtle without water, even if its vitality is strong, is born to die.
However, this incident also reminds us once again that keeping pets must know more about their habits and knowledge, so as to avoid suffering for the little lovelies.
