Yes. They really like the sunlight, so its not a bad idea to take a turtle outside for a bit. The temperature in a Box turtle's cage needs to be between 75 and 85 degrees. They also need a source of light for at least 14 hours during the day, and you can turn it off for the night.
To keep it warm during hibernation.
If a turtle is cold, it will slow its movements and metabolism in preparation for hibernation. Please make sure you have a water heater and a hot basking lamp, and keep your tank away from doorways and cold-leaking windows.
It should be left on all day, and off all night.
You shouldn't ! Part of their natural cycle is to hibernate during the winter months ! Why deprive a tortoise of it's natural behaviour ?
When animals wake up during hibernation, their body temperature and metabolism increase, leading them to become active. This often occurs in response to disturbances in their environment, such as loud noises or changes in temperature. Waking up too frequently during hibernation can deplete their energy reserves and make it harder for them to survive the winter.
First of all it's called Red-EARED slider. Secondly if you keep it home he shouldn't hibernate. Unless you really need it, then you have to keep the water always clean and provide the turtle with enough food. Red-Eared Slider should go into hibernation state when the temperature of air drops below 10 degrees. But still I advice you to keep him out of getting into hibernation.
No ... Its illegal to keep star turtle in India
During hibernation, a woodchuck's body temperature drops significantly, which lowers its metabolic rate. Despite this decrease in oxygen demand, a small amount of oxygen is still needed for basic physiological functions to keep the animal alive during its winter sleep. This is why woodchucks are not completely oxygen deprived during hibernation.
Hedgehogs go into hibernation, like bears in the winter. If you have a pet hedgehog, it should NOT go into hibernation, for it can lead to health problems. If your hedgehog pet is going into hibernation, stop it and warm him/her ASAP. A sign him/her might be going into hibernation is a cold belly.
During hibernation, frogs have very low metabolic rates, which reduces the need for oxygen. They absorb oxygen through their skin and membranes in the mouth, while releasing carbon dioxide. Their respiration slows down significantly to conserve energy during hibernation.
It is best not to keep a turtle as a pet. Rather sponsor the survival of a turtle in the wild.
No you,will kill the turtle.
