Does the tortoise need a heating rod, a shelter

The tortoise needs a heating rod. The tortoise belongs to a variable temperature animal, and its physiological activities will change accordingly with the temperature. For example, when the temperature drops in winter, the digestion ability of the grass turtle will also decrease with the decrease of the temperature. If the temperature drops further, it will induce it to get sick and even endanger its life. Therefore, when the temperature is too low in winter, the heating rod can be used to maintain the water temperature above 10 ℃. 1、 Does the tortoise need a heating rod? The grass fruit needs a heating rod. The tortoise is a kind of variable temperature animal, which will change its physiological activities with the temperature. The temperature suitable for the survival of grass turtles is about 22 ~ 28 ℃. The active period of its growth is between June and August. When the temperature is relatively low in winter, its digestive capacity will decrease with the decrease of temperature, and its appetite will also decrease. In this way, the grass turtle with poor resistance is easy to induce diseases and even harm its life and health. Therefore, it needs a heating rod to heat the water temperature to adapt to hibernation without damaging the body. At least it needs to be heated to more than 10 degrees Celsius. 2、 Does the tortoise need a shelter? Generally speaking, the tortoise needs a shelter. First of all, the character of the grass turtle is timid. It needs to give it a certain sense of security so that it can grow safely in the fish tank. At the same time, the shelter can also give it a shelter during its hibernation, which can prevent it from running around. Specifically, the location of the grass turtle shelter is generally built in the water, because there are still a few turtles living entirely on land. After the shelter is built, always pay attention to the cleanliness in the shelter to avoid illness caused by bacterial infection. （CaoGuiXuYaoJiaReBangMa，XuYaoDuoBiDongMa）
