Does The razor tortoise can hibernate or not, and the breeder can decide according to his own wishes. Many breeders believe that tortoises need to hibernate in winter so that they can live longer. But razor turtles are native to lower latitudes, where temperatures are not very low all year round, so they do not have the habit of hibernating in the wild.
If breeders want them to hibernate, they can lower the water temperature to 15 degrees Celsius, and they will slowly enter hibernation. After hibernation, the breeder only needs to ensure that the water temperature is between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius. If you don't want them to hibernate, you need to keep the water temperature above 22 degrees Celsius, and then raise them as in other seasons.
do razor turtles need to pay attention to in hibernation? If breeders want razor turtles to hibernate, they need to feed them a lot of food in advance so that they have enough energy to survive the winter. When hibernating, it is best to use shallow water. Note that there is no need to feed after hibernation. Moreover, when they enter hibernation, their metabolic capacity will be reduced a lot, and the frequency of water change does not need to be too high. If the water in the container evaporates a little, the humidity can be increased by spraying water. After the razor turtle hibernates and wakes up, the breeder should not feed it immediately, but wait for them to adapt for a period of time before feeding it.
