If domestic turtles do not hibernate in winter, they can be put in water, but they should not be put in water if they are hibernating. Hibernation is one of the habits of most turtles, but this does not mean that it must hibernate. If it can be kept warm, the turtle can still survive the winter, but it will affect its development speed, causing it to enter the breeding state more slowly. If you want to hibernate, you need to prepare sand or coconut soil, and get into it to keep warm and moisturizing.

The requirements of turtles for water are 1. Water temperature: The first requirement of turtles for water is water temperature. The temperature cannot be too low. Low temperature will affect its appetite and make it stop eating. It should usually be kept at Above 20℃. However, in winter, if the turtle wants to enter hibernation, it is best to control the temperature at around 10°C, neither too high nor too low. 2. Water quality: Since turtles spend most of their time soaking in water, the quality of the water is also particularly important to their health. Pay attention to changing the water at ordinary times, usually once before and after feeding, and also clean up food residues in the water. It is best to keep the temperature consistent before and after changing the water. 3. Water level: Generally, deep water is not suitable for raising turtles. The water level only needs to cover the back of the turtle so that it can breathe when it raises its head. If it is a deep-water turtle, it is best to prepare a place where it can land so that it can rest when it is tired from swimming. In addition, if you hibernate, it is best not to soak in water, but prepare sand or coconut soil.
