Do you have a stage view of turtles that have been hibernating for a long time? A newbie turtle friend asked the blogger, how do I tell if the turtle is hibernating or not? It’s actually quite simple, two methods will do the trick.
1, observation: in the hibernation of the turtle body will remain moist, the epidermis is flexible, the most intuitive is to see the turtle’s eyes are closed, but the round drum is not shriveled.
2, touch: gently pull the turtle’s limbs with your hand, focus on gently, remember not to pull hard. Hibernating turtles will have a slight retraction, if there is no retraction reaction, it is dangerous.
As a final reminder, checking the health of hibernating tortoises is essential, but once a month is sufficient. The second method should be used as infrequently as possible, as there is a chance that it will disturb the turtle’s hibernation; after all, if it causes the turtle to come out of hibernation in an unnatural way, it is very likely to cause a violent death.
Have you checked the status of your hibernating turtle recently? Feel free to let the blogger know in the comments section.

Such clear advice! I’m always careful. Any thoughts on how specific turtle species might show different hibernation signs?
@CriticX：Thank you for your thoughtful question, CriticX! It’s a great point that different species might have unique hibernation nuances. We encourage consulting a vet or specialized resources for species-specific advice. We’ll also consider this for future content!
It sounds like a cool topic! I think it’s super important to know how to check if a hibernating turtle is alive. Maybe include more tips on how to safely check without disturbing them? ???
