Can turtles go into hibernation?
Yes turtles can hibernate. If you choose to hibernate your turtles, only hibernate the healthy and the well fed. If your turtle is very skinny and/or sick, do not hibernate them. A problem that can occur with hibernation is if the temperature is too warm (around 60 degrees Fahrenheit) your turtle will not hibernate. At this same temperature it is too cold to eat. Your turtle will use too much energy and will starve to death. For more information on hibernation – water turtle hibernation or land turtle hibernation.
