It is possible for turtles to freeze to death in winter. Turtle, as a temperature-changing animal, has limited adaptability to temperature. When the temperature is very low, it will enter hibernation, and if it is lower than 5 ℃, it will freeze to death. Therefore, during hibernation, the environment should not be too cold. It is best to provide certain heat preservation measures and spray water regularly. In addition, in order to prevent it from Allen Su, the temperature during hibernation should not be higher than 15 ℃.

2. How does tortoise hibernate

1. Supplemental nutrition: In order to make tortoise have enough energy to spend winter, it needs to be supplemented with nutrition after autumn. Choose its favorite food, such as small fish, shrimp, etc., and feed it twice a day, so that it can accumulate nutrition, so that it can consume during hibernation and spend the winter safely.

2. Stop feeding and soaking in water: Stop feeding it two weeks before preparing for hibernation, and let it enter hibernation at this time. It should be noted that it will not be excreted during hibernation, so if food remains in the stomach, it is also bad for its health, so it is best to bubble water to promote defecation.

3, cool down and hibernate: When it's time to hibernate, you can cool down properly and let it enter hibernation. Usually, the temperature should be kept below 15 ℃, but the minimum temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, otherwise it may freeze to death. In addition, water should be sprayed regularly to keep the environment moist and prevent it from dehydrating.
