I have two box turtle's(fall is coming, how do I hybernate them)?

Question

They are very healthy and are doing well? Please help if you can, I want to make sure they are healthy and I'm doing the right thing for them. They were given to us knowing we have other animals. Now Fall is coming and it's time to hybernate them soon. Do I need to dig a hole in their habitat we built for them with coverage on half of it. or do I not hybernate them at all. One is a male who is about two years old and the small female was born this last spring. I heard it's important to hybernate them.

how do they do it n the wild? They say if I hybernate them? They need water? Well if they hynernate in the wild in a dirt pile or a mound, how do they get water there? OK, so help if you can as I will study more.

..Or do I not hybernate them at all and keep them insude? Please help? Anyone who knows, as I'm still looking on the web?

Answer 1

You don't need to hibernate them if you aren't planning on breeding them, just keep them inside.  Even if you do insist on hibernating them, you need to have a vet check them out first even if they appear completely healthy as some tiny thing that escaped your notice would mean that they'd die.

Answer 2

Do not hibernate them. It's not necessary. If you do it wrong, you may lose your turtles. Keep them warm, and feed them normally.

Answer 3
