It is generally believed that hibernation is a kind of nature of turtles, and it is better to let turtles hibernate if they can hibernate. Because during hibernation, the turtle's metabolism almost stops, which helps the turtle live longer. At the same time, hibernation can promote the development of female and male hormones in turtles and is conducive to reproduction. Some people think that hibernation is beneficial to the pigmentation of turtle shells, and turtles will look better. These are generally considered to be the benefits of turtle hibernation.
It may be beneficial for turtles to hibernate, but it doesn't necessarily mean how harmful it is not to hibernate. Hibernation is actually an adaptive mechanism of animals to severe winter and food shortage. In nature, hibernation is not a patent for turtles, and many animals also have the habit of hibernation. Warm-blooded animals such as bears and squirrels hibernate. However, warm-blooded animals hibernate mostly because of lack of food. Many bears wander and hunt in winter when there is plenty of food, but when there is no food, they hibernate in caves.
