There are four seasons of the year, mainly because each season is very different; people and animals need time to adapt; just like the clothes we wear each season are different, so do animals raised in different seasons. There are different ways to raise and need to be treated differently! So how do centipedes need to be raised in four seasons?

Spring feeding
The temperature in early spring is low, and the centipedes that recover from stings are greatly affected by the temperature, and their activity and digestion are not vigorous. After Qingming, adjust the humidity of the nest soil to 20%. At this stage, the temperature is lower than 15 ℃, and no feeding is required to avoid bloating caused by eating too early or overeating. At the beginning of the meal, take 600 pieces as an example. First, use half a tablet of mother to grind it into powder, mix with milk powder and water to let the centipede suck it. It needs to be fed for 2 to 3 days, which has the effect of strengthening the stomach and helping the centipede digest.
Summer feeding
After the beginning of summer, centipedes begin to move frequently, and the breeding period starts when the temperature is 25℃. During this period, the humidity should be adjusted well. Too dry will easily affect embryonic development, and too wet will easily lead to illness. During this period, the nest soil should be kneaded into a ball, the loose hands can spread, and the moisture content of 22% to 25% is appropriate. Centipedes lay eggs and hatch in a quiet environment. If disturbed, they are prone to eating eggs and larvae. Therefore, it is necessary to observe diligently, do a good job of checking the litter and induce labor, and keep the females to be laid separately.
In the hot summer, it is necessary to do an excellent job of cooling down and preventing heatstroke. Adjust the temperature between 20℃ and 32℃. In addition to keeping the feed fresh every day, preventive medicines are given 1 to 2 times a month for the diseases that may occur to centipedes to ensure that the centipedes can spend the summer safely and complete the hatching task.
Feeding in Autumn
After the beginning of autumn, it turns to the rainy season, during which the soil humidity is about 22%. After the autumnal equinox, when the relative humidity of the air is about 75%, the food intake of the centipede increases sharply, and the metabolic process also accelerates. It is necessary to increase the amount of food supplied to allow the centipede to grow and develop to facilitate the molting and storage of nutrients.
Winter feeding
Centipedes gradually enter the hibernation state when the weather turns cold at the end of November each year. Keep it at about 25℃, so the centipede does not sleep over the winter, improving its reproductive ability.
