Do Domestic tortoises can hibernate. For domestic tortoises, hibernation has a certain risk, and the necessity is not great, because hibernation is mainly to promote the sexual maturity of tortoises, if it is not prepared to breed, it can not hibernate, but pay attention to heat preservation, in case the temperature is too low to affect its appetite, causing it to enter hibernation. But also regularly change the water, every day at noon can be put in the sun to bask in the back.
? 1. Before hibernation: The tortoise should supplement nutrition after autumn, so that it can accumulate energy to survive the winter. Wait until two weeks before hibernation, it is best to stop eating, and then soak it in warm water, so that it can digest and discharge the food in its stomach, so as to avoid residual feces in the intestine, affecting its health.
2. When hibernating: When hibernating, tortoises usually get into sand or coconut soil. In order to maintain humidity, they need to spray water on it regularly. In addition, attention should be paid to temperature control, the temperature should not be higher than 15 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will wake up ahead of time, but it should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius, so as not to freeze to death.
3. After hibernation: Tortoises hibernate at different times in different regions, but they basically don't wake up until spring. The tortoise that just woke up should not be fed immediately, nor should it be put into water. It needs to be adapted slowly first. After a few days, it can be fed with soft food so as not to hurt the normal temperature.
