It is better for Brazilian tortoises to hibernate and release water, because they are aquatic tortoises and live in water all the year round. Wild tortoises also hibernate in shallow water. When cultured artificially, it is best to hibernate them in water. Although they can hibernate in water, the water level should not be too high when hibernating. Because they don't move during hibernation, if the water level is high, it will affect their breathing, so it is best for breeders to keep the water level below the carapace.
Brazilian tortoise hibernates to release water or sand, what should I pay attention to when hibernating 1. Brazilian tortoises release water or sand when hibernating

Brazilian tortoises release water best when hibernating, because they all live in water under normal circumstances. Although they occasionally climb to the shore to bask in the sun, they will not leave the water for too long. Moreover, when wild Brazilian tortoises hibernate, they also choose a shallow water area, so artificial Brazilian tortoises should also hibernate in water.

Although Brazilian tortoises hibernate in water, breeders need to pay attention to the water level during hibernation. After they hibernate, they will no longer move, and the breeder needs to control the water level below the carapace to ensure that they can breathe normally.

2. What should Brazilian tortoises pay attention to when hibernating

1. When Brazilian tortoises hibernate, breeders should first feed them some high-nutrition foods, so that they have enough energy to spend the winter. When you are about to enter hibernation, you need to stop feeding food. Let them empty the food in the digestive tract before they go into hibernation.

2. When Brazilian tortoise hibernates, breeders should pay attention to water quality. Although they don't pollute the water seriously, breeders need to change the water once a month. When changing water, pay attention to gentle movements to avoid disturbing their hibernation.

3. Finally, pay attention to check their bodies to avoid illness and death during hibernation. But it can't be checked frequently, which easily disturbs their hibernation.
