1.~~~~~ What should I do if the alligator snapping turtle has parasites and won't eat?~~~~~~ I'm begging for advice from an expert

For a pound of turtle, add 3/10 of the intestinal worm clearing package to its food. If the turtle still has worms after 1 week, use 2/10 again.

2. When can I feed my turtle after hibernation?

Please take a look at the precautions for hibernation of turtles, so that you can prepare for hibernation in the future: ^-^

Before hibernation, you need to fatten the turtle. Starting from September, you need to feed the turtle twice a day for a month to store enough fat for the winter. In October, the turtle will stop eating. Soak the turtle in slightly warm water to stimulate defecation and clean the intestines. The feces left in the body will be discharged to avoid long-term retention in the intestines and cause intestinal diseases. The turtle will survive on these fats during the six months of no food. Turtles that are too thin or have poor eating conditions, or are too small, need to be heated to 28 degrees during the winter. The turtle will eat normally. If it hibernates in this state without heating, it may die because it cannot hold on until the temperature rises due to the small amount of fat stored.

The real hibernation method is to spread wet thick sand in the container, cover it with a ball of newspaper, and the turtle will go into the sand to sleep by itself. Rehydrate once a week to keep the sand and newspaper moist. Hibernation is a test for domestic turtles. First of all, you have to make sure your baby is healthy and has no disease. Turtles with poor physical fitness must not hibernate. It is recommended not to hibernate for small turtles and young turtles, as it is difficult to survive the winter! You can prepare some sand for the hibernating turtle, but if it does not crawl in, do not force it to bury it. Turtles that do not hibernate in the sand can be placed in shallow water and covered with a layer of wet cotton yarn to keep it moist, which also has a certain degree of insulation effect. For turtles hibernating in the sand, make sure the sand is clean and unpolluted. Keep the sand moist during the hibernation period. Turtles may wake up during hibernation, so make sure that they will not crawl to a place where you cannot find them after waking up. In addition, turtles that wake up during hibernation must not be fed.

When the temperature drops below 13℃, they begin to hibernate. During the entire hibernation period, their heads, tails and limbs are retracted into their shells, their eyes are closed, they do not eat, move or excrete, and they do not move until they come out of hibernation. If the environment is not suitable, it is difficult for them to hibernate. The hibernation temperature for turtles is suitable between 1 and 10℃. A temperature higher than 10℃ can easily cause the turtle to wake up, thereby consuming its physical strength and causing its physical condition to decline, which is not conducive to its growth and reproduction in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period can also cause the death of the turtle. Temperatures below 0℃ will freeze the turtle or even freeze it to death. Therefore, when setting up a hibernation place for turtles, possible temperature changes must be considered.

It will not eat until the end of March or early April when hibernation ends.

Turtles are omnivorous animals. When they are young, they like to eat meat. You can feed them small fish, shrimps, pig liver, bloodworms, cockroaches, etc. Turtles usually eat in water. When they are older, they like to eat vegetarian food. They will chew water plants. You can feed them some clean vegetables. If you are too lazy to deal with those messy things, just buy a box of turtle food and feed them slowly. High-quality turtle food is rich in calcium, protein, fiber, fat, vitamins A, B12, C, D3, and E. It is nutritious and must not be delicious. Turtles must think so. Feed in moderation. Turtles have a poor digestive system. If the turtle is too small, you can help it chop up large shrimps. After they finish eating, take out the leftover food.

Start eating after the spring thunder, cover the carapace by 0.5CM with water, and wait until the temperature stabilizes (15-20 degrees) before eating, because they hibernate in winter, although some do not sleep, but they are closed-throat, and eat when spring comes and the temperature is over 20 degrees

In winter, turtles like to bask in the sun outside because the water is too cold.

Give him food (preferably fresh) and he will eat it by himself, don't mind~

Also, place the turtle in a well-lit area.

Don't put it indoors at night (when it's cold) to keep the temperature

Turtles are tropical animals.

It is difficult to say when the hibernation period of turtles ends. It is different in different places. Generally, it depends on the temperature. When the temperature is above 20 degrees, the turtles will eat.

3. Why do angelfish love to swim when they are young but don't like to swim when they grow up? 1. The water quality has not changed, 2. The feed has not changed, 3. The water temperature has not changed.

Normally, the rainbow fish is a relatively quiet fish. Its lack of movement is also related to its body shape. Its body is relatively flat, which makes it unsuitable for fast swimming. It is easier for it to speed up when it is small.

4. My little turtle won't eat. He acts as if he doesn't see any meat when I give him meat.

It hasn't opened its mouth yet! You need to be patient. The turtle needs some time to adapt to the new environment. Hold the shrimp meat with your chopsticks and shake it about 1 cm in front of its eyes. If you don't understand, you can search on Baidu. There are many posts by turtle lovers! !

5. Help!!! My two turtles are going to trouble you again... Please tell me...

The turtle will take care of itself.

I think,

They are satisfied.

They are not stupid.

The real hibernation method is to cover the container with thick wet sand.

Cover with crumpled newspaper.

The turtle will burrow into the sand and sleep.

Rehydrate once a week.

Keep the sand and newspaper moist.

First you have to make sure your baby is healthy.

No disease.

Turtles with poor physical constitution must not hibernate.

It is recommended that small turtles and young turtles do not hibernate.

It’s hard to survive the winter!

☞ Generally speaking,

Red-eared sliders begin to hibernate when the temperature drops below 15°C.

When the water temperature rises above 16℃, they start feeding.

The red-eared slider turtle has good cold resistance.

Generally, as long as the water temperature is not lower than 4℃, it can safely overwinter.

The temperature of domestic animals kept indoors will not be lower than this.

But if you keep it on a balcony or in a garden pond, you have to be careful.

Especially now when the temperature is low at night.

Be sure to take measures to protect against the cold.

Better to move them indoors.

Place in a clean plastic basin.

No need to put water in the basin.

Cover the turtle with some wet grass or a wet towel.

Just remember to spray some water to maintain humidity and you can safely spend the winter.
