1. Natural hibernation: When Brazilian tortoises hibernate, breeders can choose to simulate the native environment and let them hibernate naturally. When hibernating naturally, you need to prepare a container first, and the bottom of the container should be covered with a thick layer of soil and water. You don't need to add too much water, just 2-3 cm higher than the soil, and finally put the Brazilian tortoise in the water. This method simulates the native hibernation environment, which can reduce the discomfort of Brazilian tortoises. However, this method can't guarantee clean water quality, so breeders need to change water frequently.

2, hibernation in water: Breeders can also choose to hibernate them directly in water. This method is relatively simple, and there is no need to worry about humidity and water quality, so most breeders will choose it. But breeders need to pay attention to the water level below their carapace and ensure that their carapace is exposed.

How long do Brazilian tortoises hibernate depends on the feeding temperature. Wild Brazilian tortoises hibernate from November every year, and they will gradually recover from hibernation until April of the following year.

But farmed Brazilian tortoises are affected by temperature. Generally speaking, when the temperature is lower than 15 ℃, they will go into hibernation. When the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, they will go into deep hibernation. Therefore, how long they hibernate depends on the temperature in the breeding area.
