In winter, the temperature is too low, turtle will start hibernating without eating or drinking in order to maintain physical fitness. Once the turtle enters hibernation, the mortality rate will be greatly increased. If the feeding is not careful, it is easy to cause economic losses, especially for those who build large-scale breeding plants! Many people will try their best to keep the turtles from hibernating. So what are the ways to prevent turtles from hibernating? Turtles accidentally enter hibernation mode, how should they be raised?
To prevent turtles Hibernation method:
The most suitable temperature for artificial breeding of turtles is about 25-30℃. If the temperature drops below 14°C, the turtle will not eat or drink, stop growing, and enter a state of hibernation. Therefore, if the turtles are raised in winter, if heating measures can be taken, the turtles can be prevented from hibernating and the growth of the black-necked turtles can be promoted.
How to heat the water in the turtle pond? There are three main methods:
1. Use hot springs or waste hot water from thermal power plants to heat. The water of the hot spring contains sodium, potassium, bicarbonate and various trace elements, which are beneficial to the growth of turtles. After mixing the hot spring water, adjust the water temperature to 30 ℃, and then raise the turtles. The turtles do not hibernate in winter. If there is no hot spring, waste hot water from thermal power plants can also be used.
2. Use solar energy for heating. Such as closed solar water heaters, circulating solar water heaters and mobile solar water heaters, etc., and then equipped with cooling and heating air-conditioning equipment to keep the water temperature of the turtle pond around 30 ℃ in winter. In this way, in the case of raising 20-25 juvenile turtles per square meter, after 6-7 months, the weight can only reach 130 grams. Only the weight can be more than 500 grams, and the largest can reach 1000 grams.
3. Use electricity, oil or gas for heating. Double-layer ironing greenhouse or steam direct heating boiler heating device can be used to keep the water temperature of turtle pond at about 30℃. 500 grams of commercial turtle specifications.
These three heating methods for raising turtles in winter, the first one is the best, because the use of hot springs or waste hot water from thermal power plants to heat the water in turtle ponds is simple and easy to control. The cost is low and the effect is remarkable. Where conditions permit, it should be considered first.
The feeding method of the turtle after hibernation:
1. It is very dangerous for the turtle to enter the hibernation state. It should be ensured that the turtle has enough energy to ensure metabolism. At this time, control Temperature is very important. It is scientifically proven that turtles below 3 degrees have a high mortality rate during hibernation. Therefore, the temperature of the water during hibernation should be ensured as much as possible.
2. The tortoise consumes a lot of body after hibernation, so it should be replenished as much as possible to restore the state before hibernation. At this time, sufficient nutrients should be added to the feed to ensure the nutrients needed for life.
3. At this time, the tortoise seldom eats. Since the physical strength has just recovered, just like a human being just woken up from sleep, he is reluctant to eat a lot of food. At this time, he should gradually increase the food. Supply quantity, restore stamina as soon as possible.
4. Sufficient light conditions and temperature supply should be ensured while ensuring the turtle's food supply.
5. In this way, the turtle can quickly adapt to the change of seasons and restore energy. Hope my experience can help you.
