The tortoise must hibernate. The tortoise likes warmth and fears the cold. When the ambient temperature is 19°C, it will enter hibernation. However, when the tortoise is about to hibernate, it is best to prepare for hibernation in time. . Healthy strip-necked turtles should stop feeding after entering hibernation, so as to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by temperature changes after eating.

The tortoise has the ability to resist hunger and thirst under normal circumstances. Even if you do not feed for 4 to 5 months, it is not easy to starve to death. When the temperature in summer is higher than 32 ℃, the tortoise will enter aestivation. At this time, direct sunlight should be prevented, and corresponding cooling measures should be taken. When cooling, it should be gradually reduced. At this time, the tortoise does not eat, so there is no need to force-feed it. When the temperature cools down, it will be fed again.
