    Hibernation is important for tortoises. When the temperature drops below around 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it probably starts from the end of October to March of the following year. It is best not to hibernate in the first year of newborn turtles, and it is best not to hibernate in weak and sick turtles.

    Turtles begin to hibernate below 15 and begin feeding when the water temperature rises above 16. Turtles are cold tolerant and can generally overwinter safely as long as the water temperature is not lower than 4. Families generally keep it indoors at no lower temperatures, but if they are kept on a balcony or garden pool, you should be careful.

    Especially when the temperature is low at night, be sure to take precautions against the cold. It is best to move them indoors, put them in a clean plastic basin, do not put water in the basin, cover the turtle body with some wet grass or wet towels, and usually pay attention to spraying some water to maintain humidity to survive the winter safely.

    In late November, the turtle generally doesn't eat, let him take a warm bath first, then dry his body, prepare a small cotton mat, wrap the turtle in it, take him out every half a month (now my little turtle usually wakes up on time by himself), let him soak in warm water and drink some water, and then put it in the bed and wait for the next time.

    There are two ways to survive the winter, one is to warm up and not hibernate, and the other is to hibernat. It's a completely different concept, and the approach is completely different. So when it's almost cold, let's use fast winter instead of fast hibernation.

    My practice, warming up in winter, not hibernation, is as follows.

    Use a heating rod in the water of the turtle tank, I think the water temperature should be around 26 degrees Celsius as much as possible; Regarding the water depth of the heating rod, usually the heating rod must be fully immersed in water to operate safely, so follow the instructions.

    The heating rod usually has a constant temperature function, you can adjust it to about 26 degrees, it will operate and switch according to the level of the water temperature there, that is, it will automatically stop heating when the temperature is reached, and the water temperature will automatically heat up when it drops.

    It is important to keep a thermometer in the water and keep an eye on the changes in the water temperature and whether it is close to the temperature you are adjusting.

    Pay attention to the water temperature when changing the water, I have a few days when the weather is too cold, and the water is too cold, I will boil the water for a while before adding it to the tank to let the heating rod reach the temperature faster.

    May all the best with your tortoise!

    <>1. Turtles generally end their hibernation in April, but it also depends on the temperature of the specific place.

    2. Turtles are in full feeding period from June to September, and their food consumption begins to decline in November. When the water temperature drops below 15 degrees, it goes into hibernation. Turtles generally hibernate in the mud and sand at the bottom of the pond after November when the water temperature drops below 12, and they do not eat or move, and begin to hibernate at this time.

    3. Until around April of the following year, when the water temperature reaches more than 15, the recovery begins, and when the turtle is above 15 degrees Celsius, the hibernation ends.

    A: April.

    It depends on the specific place's warmth and purity. Turtles feed from June to September, and their food intake begins to decline in November. When the water temperature drops below 15 degrees, it goes into hibernation.

    The turtle is generally in November after the water temperature drops below 12, it lurks in the bottom of the pond to hibernate in the mud and sand, does not eat and does not move the rock, at this time begins to hibernate, until about April of the following year, when the water temperature reaches more than 15 when the recovery begins, when the turtle is above the water temperature of 15 degrees and begins to eat, at this time the hibernation ends.

    At the end of the day, feed some foods like raw meat, fish pants, liver, etc., its taste system is dulled due to the long hibernation. A little patience, my turtle didn't know how to eat at first, cut it into small pieces and use tweezers to shake it in the water in front of it, be patient, it will eat. Gradually, you can throw it into the water.

    Turtles hibernate from December to March every year, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius. Breeders need to supplement the tortoise with nutrients two months before hibernation to accumulate nutrients to survive the winter. Keepers also need to prepare sand for the turtle to burrow and hibernate and cover the surface with a wet towel to moisturize the turtle.

    Tortoises hibernate from December to March of the following year, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius. Keepers need to prepare the tortoise for hibernation in advance according to the weather forecast.

    Keepers need to supplement the tortoise with nutrients two months before the tortoise hibernates, allowing the tortoises to accumulate fat for the winter. Keepers need to feed the turtle their favorite food and increase the feeding once a day.

    Keepers also need to prepare soft, clean sand for the turtles to burrow into to keep warm. After the tortoise burrows into it to keep warm, the keeper needs to cover the surface with sand to moisturize the tortoise.

    A: Generally speaking, tortoises usually start hibernation in October without eating. The time of hibernation is not fixed, but it is often related to temperature, and when the temperature drops below 15, the turtle is ready to hibernate.

    In order to ensure that it can survive the winter safely, it is best to feed it a little more food after late autumn, so that it can accumulate a certain amount of nutrients, and only need to stop eating two weeks before hibernation, and pay attention to temperature control, to avoid waking up early after the temperature rises.
