The round Australian turtle can hibernate, but it needs to meet certain conditions.
If the water temperature is always high, they will not hibernate.
They only hibernate when the water temperature is low
Therefore, they can spend the winter in cold water.
Of course, there is a limit to cold water. If it is in water below 0 degrees, it will not work. At this time, the water may freeze and damage the health of the round Australian turtle.
1. Can Australian tortoises spend the winter in cold water? Australian round turtle is a kind of turtle that can be raised at home.
We need a special winter when raising them.
Round Australian turtles can hibernate, but they need to meet certain conditions if they want to hibernate.
If the water temperature in their living environment is always high, they will not go into hibernation.
They only hibernate when the water temperature is low
Therefore, they can spend the winter in cold water.
However, the water temperature should not be too low. If it is below 0 degrees, the water may freeze directly, endangering the health of the round Australian turtle.
In short, there are two choices in winter.
If the water temperature is kept in a relatively high range, the round Australian turtle will not hibernate, and it can be maintained normally at this time.
If you want them to spend the winter, you can let the water temperature be lower and let them spend the winter in cold water.
Second, how do round Australian turtles spend the winter? There are some problems that should be paid attention to when round Australian turtles spend the winter.
You can just put them to sleep.
When the water temperature is lower than 15 degrees, they hibernate; When it is below 5 degrees, the round Australian turtle will enter a deep hibernation state.
When they hibernate, the water should not be too deep, but it should not be too dry; At the same time, you can also prepare a fill light lamp to fill the light properly.
In addition, if the water temperature is always high, then the round Australian turtle may not hibernate.
Then, they need to provide some food in winter, but their appetite may not be too big, just feed a little, and they need to ensure the water quality, change the water regularly, or clean the containers.
