Turtles and Brazilian turtles are all water turtles. In about11-April, when the temperature was below 15 degrees, the turtle gradually stopped eating and began to enter the hibernation period. Water turtles had better not leave the water when hibernating, otherwise they will get sick and die of dehydration. When entering the hibernation period, the room temperature should not be too high, and 0-5 degrees is the most suitable, so that the turtle will be less active and reduce physical energy consumption. If the temperature is too high, the turtle will keep crawling and consume a lot of physical energy, which is unfavorable to the turtle. The turtle should be put in a tank with water for the winter, not too much water, just put the water on the turtle's back, and you can also put a square brick or stone in the tank. Turtles can climb on it when they want to get some sunshine. Be sure not to freeze the water by ice, otherwise, the turtle will freeze to death. You can move the turtle tank indoors and put it in a place where there is 1-2 hours of sunlight, which can sterilize it. As long as you do this, there is generally no disease in winter.
Pay attention to keep the room temperature above zero, and you can spend the winter safely. My neighbor's turtles spend the winter in this way, which has been 10 for many years. They can all spend the winter safely.
