Hi All,
The turltes, red ears that live in their natual habitat, do or not hibernate in the winter months? If so how do they go about hibernating.
I have noticed that they like to eat more food in late summer and early fall. I think they are trying to store up body fat of hibernation.
What would be wrong with letting them do that is natural for them, of course it would have to be done the right way.
I will never get any answers because I do not understand how to find the mail or post. I have been on other groups but this is new to me. HELP HELP. I also would like to post a photo of the turtle I have, Baby, I don't
know what kind of turtle she is.

Does your turtle have red stripes on the side of his/her head? If so, he/she is definitely a slider.
