Can turtles be kept in water in cold weather?

When the weather is cold, you can raise turtles in the water, because the low temperature and water temperature in winter will make turtles freeze to death and frostbite. If the tortoise is strong, it can be put into the water to overwinter naturally; If you are in poor health, you need to keep the water temperature above 20℃ for the winter. Before hibernation, turtles need to feed protein-rich meat and accumulated fat to spend the winter.

It's so cold that the tortoise can't put water in it.

You can't put the tortoise into the water in cold weather, because the temperature itself is low and the water temperature is low in winter, which may lead to the death and frostbite of the tortoise. Generally speaking, it is suggested to put the soft-shelled turtle in wet sand, which will not cause frostbite while ensuring humidity and temperature, and can make the soft-shelled turtle grow better.

If the tortoise is strong and the temperature is relatively stable, it can also be put into the water for natural wintering. If you are in poor health, you need to put a heating rod in the cylinder, keep the water temperature above 20℃, feed normally and dry your back, so as to survive the winter smoothly.

Pay attention to that turtles can't eat during hibernation, and they should be fed meat with high content of protein to supplement their nutrition two months before hibernation. Stop feeding two weeks before hibernation and soak in warm water to discharge impurities produced in the body.
