? Map tortoises hibernate. They are poikilothermic animals. Their body temperature is not constant and will change with the outside world. When the outside temperature drops, so does their body temperature. At this time, their body's metabolism will slow down and their mobility will slow down. When the temperature is below 16 C, they will stop moving and stop eating. Go into hibernation without moving.
does the tortoise hibernate? Every winter, the temperature will drop. The temperature in the home is relatively high relative to the outside world, so they usually go into hibernation in November every year. But before that, if the temperature is below 16 degrees Celsius, they will also go into hibernation. Before entering hibernation, they need to be fed a lot of food, preferably some high-fat food, which can make them accumulate energy for hibernation metabolism. They
usually wake up in April of the following year, and if the temperature is too low, they can prolong their hibernation. During their hibernation, the temperature should not be lower than 4 degrees Celsius, when it is lower than 4 degrees Celsius, they will freeze to death. Also do not warm up during this period, warming up will make them wake up early, after waking up, they will consume more energy, hoarded food can not maintain the whole hibernation process.
