No. When it begins to get cold outside, they strive to eat more and fatten themselves up... Like a bear. When they are in hibernation, their heart, lungs, metabolism, etc slows down dramatically so they can survive without food. Some captive turtles, however, don't go into hibernation because they are kept inside at a reasonable temperature. If this is the case, then they will eat, but most likely not as much as during the summer.
yes, turtles need fat to survive and t keeps them warm though summer
what months does hibernation start? Hibernation happens in winter, that's what the word means.
you can offer it but they are not likely to eat it during hibernantion. If you are worried about your turtle starving during hibernantion be sure to load him up on fatty foods before hibernation.
it is called brumation
in march the second week
No, because oak trees goes hibernation (dormant) during winter to conserve energy
Hibernation is during the winter, estivation is just like hibernation but in the summer and migration is when the move to different locations. So Im pretty sure that turtles hibernate during the winter and some turtles estivate during the summer if it is too hot.
A bear's metabolism slows to almost nothing during hibernation. Active bears do grow extra layers of hair during cold weather and the "winter fur" does grow faster than the normal summer growth.
Animals stay alive in hibernation as this is a natural process.

No
They store food as fat. This occurs just before hibernation.
