Pit mud turtles can hibernate or not during the winter, and hibernation is not necessary for them. For wild stone mud turtles, most of them can naturally enter the hibernation state in winter; But if the winter temperature is too high, then they can not hibernate. For the fruit stone mud turtles under artificial feeding conditions, they can be directly heated in winter to prevent them from hibernating. If you want them to hibernate, you should pay attention to the time of hibernation should not be too long.
Does the nut mud turtle need to hibernate? When to hibernate?

1. does the nut-pit mud turtle need to hibernate

The nut-pit mud turtle is a kind of turtle that can be raised artificially, and it is a special period when it is raised in winter. Stone turtles can hibernate or not during the winter, and hibernation is not necessary for them. You can see the wild stone mud turtles first, in most areas, they can naturally enter the hibernation state in winter, and then in the next year when the temperature slowly rises, the hibernation state will end and slowly wake up. However, the distribution of the stone turtle is very wide, if the temperature is very high in winter, then the stone turtle may not hibernate in winter.

For breeds raised in captivity, they can be hibernated directly by adjusting the water temperature. They can be heated directly to prevent them from hibernating. Of course, they can also hibernate directly without adjusting the water temperature, but it is recommended that the hibernation time is not too long, because in the hibernation state of the fruit stone mud turtle will be at risk of illness.

2. when the stone mud turtle hibernates

The above has been improved, the stone mud turtle can hibernate, can also not hibernate. If you enter the state of hibernation, then this time is not certain. The time of hibernation and the time of hibernation are different in different areas, and the difference is quite large, because the distribution of this turtle is very wide. Even in our country, they can live in the north and south at the same time. In contrast, the stone mud turtle living in the southern region will start hibernation later and end hibernation earlier.

If they are raised artificially, they can adjust the water temperature directly. It is recommended that they begin hibernation around December and end hibernation around March.
