The round Australian turtle is a species of turtle that can be raised at home. When they are bred, they need a special period of winter. Tortoises can hibernate, but certain conditions must be met to get them into a state of hibernation. If the water temperature in their living environment is always high, they will not enter hibernation. Only when the water temperature is low, they will hibernate. So they can survive the winter in cold water. However, the water temperature can not be too low, below 0 degrees, the water may freeze directly, which will endanger the health of the turtle.
In short, there are two choices in winter. If the water temperature is kept in a relatively high range, the turtle will not hibernate and can be maintained normally at this time. If you want them to survive the winter, you can let the water temperature be lower and let them survive the winter in cold water.
Round Australian turtle in the winter, need to pay attention to some problems. You can send them straight into hibernation. When the water temperature is below 15 degrees, they hibernate; Below 5 degree, that turtle goes into a state of deep hibernation. When they hibernate, the water should not be too deep, but it should not be too dry; At the same time, a supplementary light can be prepared to properly supplement the light. In addition, if the water temperature has been relatively high, then the turtle may not hibernate. So, in the process of their winter also need to provide some food, but their appetite may not be too strong, feed a little on the line, and also need to ensure water quality, regularly change the water, or clean the container.
