Turtles generally enter hibernation around November, but the hibernation time of turtles may also vary depending on the local temperature. This is mainly because they are cold-blooded animals. Generally, in the cold winter, it only needs to be lower than 15 degrees. At this time, they will begin to hibernate. At this time, they will begin to hide in the loose soil of sand or grass to hibernate.

Things to note when hibernating turtles

1. Humidity. The humidity needs to be maintained within a certain range, it cannot be dry, and water needs to be added regularly.
2. Avoid light. Strong light will affect the hibernation of turtles, so you need to pay attention to placing turtles in a dark environment for hibernation.

3. Quiet. Although turtles are hibernating, they are still sensitive to vibrations, so the hibernation environment needs to be kept as quiet as possible.

4. Feeding. Turtles need to clean their gastrointestinal tract before hibernating. The turtle can only start hibernating after it has completely metabolized the food in its body.

5. Temperature. During hibernation, be careful to keep the temperature constant and not fluctuate high or low, as this will cause the turtles to become disordered. In addition, never put turtles to hibernate in air-conditioned rooms.

6. Take shelter from the wind. The main purpose of shelter is to reduce temperature differences. When the cold wind blows straight in winter, the temperature in the turtle's hibernating environment will inevitably be greatly affected, and this temperature difference can easily cause the turtle to get sick.
