| My turtle is on an oral antibiotic and hasn't been eating. We recently bought a heater as cold water kills their appetites. I need to give him his meds and some food in the dear soul's belly. |

If your climate never gets too cold, they will probably not hibernate, it is the cold weather that triggers their hybernation.
