In southern China, when the water temperature drops below 18°C from late November to early December, the soft-shelled turtle stops feeding and enters the hibernation period. When the water temperature drops to 12 ℃, it burrows into the bottom sediment for hibernation. The length of the hibernation period varies from place to place. Generally, after the sting (mid-late March to early April in the south), recovery begins when the water temperature reaches 15°C or higher. When the temperature is above 20°C, activity and food intake gradually increase, and then gradually return to normal. Life.

For the yellow sand soft-shelled turtle, the ideal hibernation temperature should be 7℃~10 If the temperature is too low for a long time, the turtles will die, and if the temperature is too high, they may not enter the hibernation state at all. When the temperature is lower than 18 ℃, the turtle will enter the hibernation state. If you are not ready to let it hibernate, the temperature should be kept at 22 ℃ ~ 30 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 18°C and you don't want to let the yellow sand soft-shell turtle hibernate, then the temperature should be gradually raised, and the temperature should not be raised too fast, and it should not be fed during the transitional period when the temperature is neither too high nor too low, only 20°C ~ 30°C Let the yellow sand turtle eat in the environment.
