When does the tortoise start eating?

Generally, around April, when the weather gets warmer, the temperature lasts for 7~ 10 days, and the temperature is around 20 degrees, the tortoise will start crawling continuously and stop lying still. You can feed some shrimp properly.

When the weather gets warmer in March and April, the hibernating turtles will start to move. At this time, the first thing to do is to give the turtles who have slept for several months a warm bath, so that they can drink water for a long time to replenish the water lost during hibernation. In a week or two, they will start eating, exercising and sunbathing again.

Extended data:

Wild turtles usually dig a hole to hide themselves in it, or find another hiding place. For domestic turtles, we can prepare a box for them, cover them with a pile of fallen leaves, or knead newspapers. If the turtle's native climate is humid and its breeding environment is dry in winter, we need to sprinkle some water on it every few days to maintain a certain humidity, but don't let them drown.

During the hibernation of turtles, we need to check them irregularly, touch their legs, and they should respond. If they wake up from hibernation when the temperature is still low, we should take some measures to encourage them to continue hibernation, such as covering newspapers or sand again. At present, most of the turtles we see can't fall below 5℃ during hibernation, otherwise they will freeze to death. They can also be raised by heating to prevent them from hibernating. However, the frequency and quantity of their eating in winter will be reduced to some extent.
