European tortoises hibernate. European tortoises can be regarded as a species that can endure hardship. Due to the climate type of their origin, they have the habit of hibernating, so they can adapt to the low temperature that ordinary tortoises cannot tolerate. The temperature during feeding is 18 degrees Celsius - 30 degrees Celsius. In terms of humidity, as long as it is not too wet, it is not a big problem if it is soaked in water regularly. However, as long as it is ventilated, the humidity of 40-80 is acceptable. If it is not within this range, it will feel a little uncomfortable.

European tortoises are not picky about food, as long as other tortoise species eat dishes acceptable. In terms of feeding, because it is not as strong and ferocious as its close relative Herman Sipa, nor is it shy and fragile like the same genus Zhongyilu, it has better interaction, so it can be safely mixed with other turtles.

European tortoises urinate a lot and have a lot of uric acid. Soil can be used for the bedding material (because they like to dig holes), but the closed ones are always easy to get dirty, and it is very troublesome to change them frequently. The available tiles are convenient cleaning.
