When preparing to hibernate, the Annan turtle gradually stopped eating, liked to sleep, and moved slowly. When the tortoise hibernates, don't put water in the tank. You can put sand. The sand should be kept moist. The sand on the construction site should be the finest. It must be washed repeatedly before laying it on the tortoise. Sufficient nutrition is given to the tortoise, and the nutrition supplemented in the early stage of hibernation determines whether the tortoise can pass the hibernation period safely.

Additionally, soak the tortoise in warm water a few days before hibernation to stimulate defecation, otherwise The food in the gut can ferment and deteriorate, causing the accidental death of the Annan turtle. If it is very cold at home, cover the tortoise with a layer of towel, and then put the tortoise in the closet, or other places where there is not too much temperature difference in the leeward wind.
