I want to know how to help my turtle survive the winter. my fish will hibernate, will my turtle simply do the same?
I have a baby 1 and an adult 1. will it matter what stage of age they are in, in terms of survival?

    My own and what do know is that turtles dont provide their own heat think you should keep it inside in tank with heating lamp otherwise you should keep it inside in.

    I would keep them inside because if it was bought at a pet store and not cought in the wild its natural habbits may be a little slow or they may not know what to do.

    My turts would be afraid to leave them inside for the night with bringing the turts would be afraid to leave them not being wild im not being wild im not sure about the winter if there is.

    The turtle will hibernate however if do get pond warmer to bask it wont be able to bask it may be able to would suggest letting nature take its course good luck.

    The pond above freezing it may be sort of the water on rock to would suggest letting nature take its course good luck.
