The wintertime hibernation of turtles is to adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions and to “self-help†methods in order to maintain energy in the body and avoid freezing and hunger. In the process of hibernation, turtles can reduce 98% of their metabolic activity due to lower body temperature, resulting in a "sleeping" state of the entire physiological and biochemical activities, that is, the life process is relatively prolonged. Researchers at the leading museum of amphibians and reptiles in Haining City, Zhejiang Province, have found that hibernating turtles are immune to pathogenic microorganisms. The reason is that low temperatures have inhibitory effects on the reproduction of pathogens. Therefore, turtles not only live long, but also rarely get sick. However, hatchlings usually do not spend more than 2 months in the breeding season. Individual growth is very limited, and their cold tolerance is far inferior to hatchlings and adult turtles. This is because young turtles are small in the year and have less fat and other substances stored in the body, and thus have poor adaptability to the environment and have a high mortality rate during the long winter. Therefore, letting young turtles safely pass winter is the key to success. During the wintering season, scaffolding is given to the hatchling ponds and 20-30 cm thick weeds are placed on the scaffolds to prevent wind and frost. Add 10 centimeters thick sandy soil to the bottom or land around the scaffold or spread 30-40 centimeters thick straw on land to create a suitable wintering place for the hatchlings. Practice has proved that taking such measures is effective for ensuring the safe wintering of hatchlings.
