to raise tortoise winter is not to release water commonly, release water to be able to affect its hibernation. Hibernation is a habit of turtles, although not all species will hibernate, but most of them will take this way in winter. Because of the lack of food in winter, low temperature will also affect its activities. Artificial feeding, because it can be heated, so it is also possible not to hibernate, but this has a certain negative impact on its development.
1. Hibernation: For most tortoises, hibernation is the best way to survive the winter. On the one hand, it can reduce the cost of feeding, on the other hand, it can also promote its development and maturity. However, hibernation also has certain risks, if the temperature and humidity are not well controlled, it will also cause it to freeze to death. Usually, in order for it to survive the winter safely, it needs to supplement its nutrition in autumn, stop feeding two weeks before hibernation, cool down and provide sand for it to get inside. It usually takes three months for the tortoise to come out of hibernation.
2. Heating method: If the tortoise is small or thin, it may die from hibernation, so it is better to heat it for the winter. Heating the winter is to raise the temperature of the environment, like the previous season of normal feeding, feeding, water change, so that we can also survive the winter. However, the tortoises raised in this way are not very strong, so it is better to hibernate in the second year.
