The hibernation time of the spotted turtle is generally from October to March of the next year. The hibernation temperature is generally below ten degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher than ten degrees Celsius, then the spotted turtle may wake up.

The following points need to be paid attention to when hibernating Spotted Turtles:

1. When hibernating, the spotted turtle needs to be given sufficient food, meat and other high energy sources, such as chicken and fresh vegetables.

2. Before hibernation, the faeces in the intestines should be excreted to avoid intestinal diseases. The turtles can be excreted in warm water before hibernation.
