I'm in Dongguan. When does the red-eared slider start to hibernate?

The time is different in different places, generally around October, but the key point is the temperature.

When the temperature drops below 13℃, the turtle will begin to hibernate. During the entire hibernation period, the head, tail and limbs will be retracted into the shell, the eyes will be closed, and the turtle will not eat, move or excrete until it comes out of hibernation. If the environment is not suitable, it will be difficult for the turtle to hibernate. The hibernation temperature of the turtle is suitable between 1-10℃. Above 10℃, it is easy to cause the turtle to wake up, thereby consuming physical strength, causing the turtle's physical condition to decline, which is not conducive to growth and reproduction in the next year. Repeated hibernation and awakening during a hibernation period can also cause the turtle to die. Temperatures below 0℃ will freeze the turtle or even freeze it to death. Therefore, when setting up a hibernation place for turtles, possible temperature changes must be considered.

Also, look at how old your turtle is. If it is a hatchling, do not let it hibernate. Use a thermostat to let it spend the winter safely!
