Check your body: Check your turtles' physical condition before hibernating, and let them hibernate if they are sick and need to be cured. Keep quiet: When they hibernate, keep their surroundings quiet and shade them so as not to affect them. Maintain water quality: Make sure to change water frequently when they hibernate. Temperature control: When they hibernate, keep a certain temperature, preferably 5-13 ℃, so as not to affect them if the water temperature is too low or too high.

1. Precautions for hibernation of grass turtles

1. Check their health: Pay attention to check their health and keep them in a good state, so as to help them hibernate. If grass turtles are in poor physical condition, they must be conditioned before hibernating.

2. Keep quiet: When they go into hibernation, the breeder should keep a quiet environment and keep them in a place away from light, otherwise it will be difficult for them to go into hibernation.

3. Maintain water quality: During their hibernation, the breeder should change the water for them occasionally to keep the water quality clean, and avoid freezing them in the tank.

4. Control the temperature: It is best to keep them in an environment of 5-13 degrees during hibernation, which is the most comfortable temperature for them to feel, and the consumption of their physical strength will also be reduced.

2. The hibernation time of grass turtles

The hibernation time of grass turtles raised in different areas is different, but generally speaking, when the temperature is lower than about 15 degrees, they will enter the hibernation state. If it is in the northern region, they will hibernate one after another around September, and if it is in the southern region, they will not start hibernating until November, because the temperature in the south is generally high and the temperature in the north is low.

Under normal circumstances, they hibernate and will wake up around February of next year. Of course, this is also sub-regional. When the temperature reaches 15 degrees, they will gradually wake up in April at the latest.
