Can the saw-edge turtle hibernate and how to hibernate

Sawblade turtles can hibernate, and when the temperature is lower than 19 ℃, they will go into hibernation. But they live in an environment where the temperature is higher in winter, so they don't hibernate when they are in the country of origin. Rearing saw-edge turtles in captivity can't keep the temperature above 19 ℃ all the time, so they will go into hibernation. Although they can go into hibernation, it is best not to hibernate in childhood, because they have poor physique in childhood and may get sick or die after going into hibernation.

1. Can serrated turtles hibernate

Serrated turtles can hibernate. They like the growing environment with higher temperature. When the temperature is lower than 19 ℃, they will go into hibernation. However, wild saw-edge turtles have no hibernation habit, because when they are in the country of origin, the temperature is relatively high in winter, so they generally do not enter hibernation.

There is no way to keep the water temperature above 19 ℃ all the time, so when the temperature is lower than 19 ℃, they will naturally go into hibernation. Although serrated turtles can hibernate, it is not recommended that serrated turtles enter hibernation in infancy. Because their resistance and immunity are poor in childhood, if they go into hibernation directly, they may get sick or die.

2. How does the serrated turtle hibernate

The serrated turtle enters shallow sleep at 12-18 ℃ and deep hibernation at 6-12 ℃. After they go into hibernation, the breeder needs to keep the water temperature above 4 ℃.

When hibernating, breeders need to lower the water level. If conditions permit, they can prepare cushions and spray water regularly. As long as the cushions are moist, they can survive the winter safely.

After hibernation, the metabolism of serrated turtles will be extremely low, so the breeder does not need to feed or change water. As long as they live in a stable and humid environment.
