In the wild, Hermann's tortoises have the habit of hibernating in winter. For first-time keepers, it is recommended to warm the tortoise for the winter, and it is not recommended to hibernate the tortoise. Tortoises less than 5 centimeters in size are more sensitive to resistance. If something goes wrong during hibernation, the Hawksbill Western Hermann tortoise will die.

Precautions for hibernating Hermann's tortoise:

1. The most suitable temperature for Hermann's tortoise to hibernate is between 5 and 10 degrees. It is best not to let the temperature get too low.
