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, baby painted turtles do hibernate, typically during their first winter. They usually enter a state of brumation, a type of hibernation, where their metabolic rate decreases, allowing them to survive in cold temperatures. During this period, they may bury themselves in mud or find shelter in the substrate at the bottom of ponds or lakes. Hibernation helps them conserve energy until warmer spring temperatures return.

My desert box turtle in hibernation was dug up by my dog so will he be able to resume hibernation if I dig a hole for him below our frostline?
If your desert box turtle has been disturbed during hibernation, it may be challenging for it to resume hibernation effectively. Turtles rely on specific conditions to enter and maintain hibernation, and being dug up can disrupt their metabolic state. If you dig a hole below the frost line and place the turtle back in, ensure it is in a quiet, dark, and stable environment. Monitor its condition closely, as it may be too stressed to re-enter hibernation properly.
