Many breeders believe that all turtles go into hibernation during the winter. In fact, not all turtles have to hibernate. Razor tortoises are a species of tortoise that do not hibernate. Of course, they can also hibernate. Whether the razor turtle hibernates depends on the water temperature. If the water temperature is kept above 20 degrees, suitable for the growth of razor turtles, they generally do not hibernate, at this time to maintain normal breeding methods on the line, with other seasons and no difference. If the water temperature is below 15 degrees, the razor turtle will slowly enter a state of hibernation.
Therefore, whether or not to let the razor turtle enter the hibernation stage depends on the wishes of the breeder, who can achieve the goal by adjusting the water temperature. However, if they hibernate, they need to pay attention to some problems. First of all, the water temperature range can be 10-15 degrees, not too low. In addition, we need to pay attention to the water level, the water should not be too deep, to provide a shallow water, relatively humid environment can be.
During the hibernation stage of razor turtles, they can be raised in shallow water, or they can be placed on wet sphagnum moss or coconut soil. Generally speaking, there is no need to change water, because at this time the metabolism of razor turtles and other life activities are very weak, water is not easy to dirty. However, the water may evaporate part, so you can check every week, if the water is very little, the environment is relatively dry, you can spray water to properly humidify, do not let the surrounding too dry.
