The tortoise's tolerance to low temperature is limited, generally not less than 4 ℃, otherwise there is a risk of freezing to death. As a poikilothermic animal, its adaptability to the environment is not very strong, winter often through hibernation to spend the way. If you don't want it to hibernate, you need to keep the temperature above 15 degrees Celsius, preferably around 20 degrees Celsius, so that you can spend the winter normally.
1, reduce metabolism: As we all know, the metabolism of the turtle is very low, but after entering the hibernation state, the metabolism will be even lower, so that it will not be particularly rapid growth, more in line with the laws of nature, while its life span also has a certain impact, can let it live longer.
2. Stronger: After the tortoise experiences hibernation, the function of its own body will be restored to a certain extent, so that it becomes stronger and the possibility of disease can be reduced. However, it should be noted that the period of time after hibernation is still relatively weak and needs to be well raised.
3. Promote reproduction: Tortoises can only reproduce when they reach a certain age, but through hibernation, they can promote the maturity of gonads, improve their desire to mate, and female turtles will be more easily fertilized. The breeding season is usually from April to August, during which sand should be prepared for it to dig holes and lay eggs.
