    This doesn't have to be, it mainly depends on the temperature.

    <>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.

    Turtles hibernate in autumn, when the temperature drops below 15 degrees Celsius.

    Turtle hibernation has nothing to do with the season, it has a lot to do with the temperature, if the temperature is relatively low, then it will enter hibernation. Turtles do not eat anything when they hibernate and choose to go into a deep sleep.

    In addition, in winter, if the temperature is relatively high, the turtle will also wake up again. <>

    Many people think that turtles only hibernate in winter, because most animals are in winter, hibernation is not like this, many turtles, if it is in late autumn, will enter hibernation. We will find that autumn can be said to be getting colder and colder, and when the turtle feels the definite cold, it will choose to go into hibernation to protect itself. There are some small animals that do not hibernate because these small animals have hair on their bodies, which protects them and can play a warming role, but turtles have no hair, so it will be very cold in winter, and turtles also need to live in water, which is even colder.

    When the turtle is hibernating, the owner also needs to keep the turtle warm, otherwise the turtle is also prone to death. The temperature of the turtle where the turtle lives can not be lower than 15 degrees Celsius, otherwise the turtle will easily die, and when the turtle hibernates in winter, you can choose to replace the water in the turtle tank with some softer soil, which can also make the turtle feel warmer.

    Turtles may suddenly wake up during hibernation.

    Don't worry, when the turtle feels that the surrounding environment is still relatively cold, it will choose to continue to hibernate. Turtles are very intelligent and also very cute. I think if you want to have a pet, turtles are also a very good choice.

    It is necessary to hibernate, as long as the weather temperature is relatively low, the turtle will fall into hibernation, and the turtle is easy to sleep in a cold environment.

    Turtles begin to hibernate in October.

    In order to ensure that it can survive the winter, it is best to feed 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 controlling the temperature to avoid waking up in advance after the temperature rises.

    The hibernation temperature of the tortoise is between 1-10 is suitable. Higher than 10 is likely to cause the turtle to wake up, thereby consuming physical strength, resulting in a decline in the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of the turtle in the coming year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period can also cause the death of the turtle.

    Temperatures below 0 will frostbite the tortoise or even freeze it to death.

    What tortoises can't do while they're hibernating

    1. Feeding

    Turtles need to clean up their stomach and intestines before hibernation, and only after the turtle has completely metabolized the food in the body can it start hibernating. The reason is the same as for bowel cleansing, the turtle is unable to get enough calories from the outside world to fully metabolize the food in the body during hibernation because it is always at a low temperature. If you eat during this period, it will cause gastrointestinal problems.

    2. Bask in the sun

    There are also sunny days in winter, and some friends may wonder if they should take the turtle out to bask in the sun, which is absolutely unacceptable. Under strong light, the local temperature will rise very quickly, which will wake the turtle from its hibernation state. But the winter sun is very short, and as soon as the turtle wakes up, the temperature drops again, and in this huge temperature difference, the turtle is very susceptible to disease.

    3. Frequent interruptions

    During the hibernation period of the turtle, we must ensure that the environment is stable, as little as possible to disturb the tortoise's hibernation, whether it is the aforementioned feeding, sunbathing, or looking, noise, light, etc., to avoid, let the tortoise hibernate in a stable environment, if it is frequently disturbed, the tortoise may not be able to spend the winter safely because of excessive energy consumption.

Turtles like to eat small fish and small loaches or live fish food for feeding fish (small loaches are the best), the environment should be clean, and some beautiful small stones should be placed in it for it to rest. Note that the tortoise likes to eat live food, which is also good for its growth. Don't give it meat to eat, because it doesn't like to eat dead food, the meat will easily settle in the tank, and the water will stink easily. >>>More
