Default Box Turtle hibernation in captivity (turtle)



It's a mixed bag in this case...the turtle WANTS to brumate so his feeding
response is diminished; however he's being kept at room temperature so the
digestive process should continue (as opposed to cooling the animal which
tends to stop digestion and leaves food in the gut to cause problems). I
wouldn't worry about feeding the turtle as much as I would hydrating the
turtle.
