The knife-backed musk turtle
Turtles all need to hibernate, so what is the hibernation period of the knife-backed musk turtle, and what will happen after hibernation?
After hibernating, the most common conditions for young blade-backed musk turtles include "post-hibernating anorexia", dehydration, inability to open eyes, weakness of hands and feet, oral inflammation, respiratory system problems, skin diseases, Weakness, cold, etc. due to lack of vitamins. Based on various studies, after hibernation is stopped, the temperature and humidity are gradually increased every day, and the turtles are allowed to eat fresh fruits and vegetables with more water and sugar, such as tomatoes, bananas, raisins, etc., and then fed to the body. Smaller insects or fish can even be fed fresh livers. Generally speaking, the turtle will return to normal eating after 1 to 2 weeks; sprinkling calcium powder and vitamin supplements on the feed can help the turtle recover faster. If it lasts for more than 3 weeks and has not started eating, force-feeding will be carried out. As for the treatment of oral inflammation and skin diseases, apply potions every day, but you must ensure that they are done in a comfortable environment. At the same time, vitamin C was fed to the sick turtle. The way to deal with respiratory system problems is to gradually reduce the temperature and humidity to their normal optimum temperatures, or even slightly increase the humidity and maintain it for a week. The treatment method for colds is to raise the temperature to about 29 to 30 degrees Celsius, reduce the humidity, and keep it for a week; at the same time, feed vitamins A, C, and E to the sick turtle. Improper treatment of colds will turn into pneumonia, which is not allowed. No caution.
