When the temperature is below 15 degrees, the Amazon mud turtle will enter a state of hibernation. Put the turtle on the prepared soil, and the turtle will get into the mud and hibernate. The ideal hibernation temperature for mud turtles should be between 7-10C. If the Amazon mud turtle is exposed to too low a temperature for a long time, it will cause the turtle to die. If the temperature is too high, it may be difficult for them to enter hibernation.

Hibernation precautions for Amazon mud turtles:

1. Before the hibernation period, check the growth of the Amazon mud turtles, and feed more to the Amazon if you are a weak breeder. The feed that mud turtles like to eat allows Amazon mud turtles to store a lot of nutrients, grow strong, and survive the winter safely.

2. Ensure that the soil where the mud turtle hibernates is not contaminated. As long as the soil is not contaminated, it generally does not need to be disinfected. You only need to screen out the gravel and humus to avoid polluting the environment and scratching the turtle.

3. After preparing the soil, you need to add clean water to prevent the soil from hardening and trapping the turtle. The water level should be 1-2 cm higher than the surface of the soil.

4. When the Amazon mud turtle hibernates, you only need to check the hibernation health of the turtle once a month. Do not check too much, otherwise it will disturb the hibernation of the turtle, and it is likely to increase the hibernation of the mud turtle. mortality rate.
