I believe that many turtle keepers will know that turtles need to hibernate. It usually takes a few months for a turtle to hibernate, so many turtle breeders choose to provide a good environment for their turtles so that they can hibernate comfortably, but many people don’t understand: do turtles need water for hibernation? For this question, today we will explain it to you.

Whether or not a tortoise needs water for hibernation depends on what species of tortoise it is. For turtles that live on land or can live in both land and water, hibernation can be done without water, as long as it is provided with a relatively moist place, such as moist sandy soil and some moistened paper scraps on top of the sandy soil, so as to maintain the moisture needed by these turtles for hibernation.

If the original turtle is living in the water, then this kind of turtle hibernation, we have to give a certain amount of water. But be careful not to put too much water, as long as the right amount can be, and must keep the water quality appropriate, and every time to a certain point, to change the water, so as to ensure that these turtles hibernate water quality.

So, whether or not a turtle needs to be put in water for hibernation cannot be generalized, but a set of professional and scientific feeding philosophy is needed, not capricious and arbitrary feeding. And also need to pay attention to the point is, when has provided a good hibernation place for the turtle, but the turtle temporarily do not have the intention to go in, do not force the turtle into the turtle, they have their own life body adjustment, to a certain point, they will enter the hibernation place for hibernation, so there is no need to worry too much.

The above is a brief introduction to whether or not turtles need to be put in water for hibernation. In fact, you should first understand what kind of species of turtles you have, and feed them differently according to the different species, because the environment required for their feeding itself will be different. In addition, after choosing the right breeding environment, you should not take it lightly, you must observe any changes in the turtle and do the corresponding treatment in time so that you can raise the turtle well.
