Do turtles hibernate in cold weather?

When the temperature drops below 13℃, the tortoise begins to hibernate. During the whole wintering period, the head, tail and limbs all shrink into the shell, close your eyes, and don't eat, move or excrete until you get rid of the sting. If the environment does not adapt, it is difficult to enter a dormant state. The hibernation temperature of turtles is 1- 10℃. Above 10℃, it is easy to wake the turtle, which will consume physical strength and lead to the decline of the turtle's physique, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction in the coming year.

Repeated hibernation and awakening during hibernation can also lead to the death of turtles. Temperatures below 0℃ will frostbite turtles and even freeze to death.

I hope I can help you and adopt it.
