Hamilton's turtles should be strong, lively, and tractable. As long as the conditions are right, they will quickly eat on their own initiative. They should be fed once a day, mainly fish, shrimp, and lean meat, and the water should be kept cool. When the temperature reaches 15 degrees, it should be moved indoors for the winter. The room temperature should be maintained at 10 to 14 degrees. Keep this range to allow it to hibernate. Freckle Pond is not cold-resistant and cannot be kept below 9 degrees for a long time.
