For land turtles, a simple crate of stable cardboard box, filled with moist peat or leaves, is suitable. In this box, the animals will rest from autumn to spring. To avoid disturbance, place the box in a quiet place. Protect these animals from rodents because they are completely defenseless during hibernation. In early spring, carefully bathe the awakening turtles in lukewarm water.
Turtles drink while having their bath.
