Yes, just make sure that he has eaten enough to see him through the long cold months ahead.

Three-toes come from a range where not all hibernate, and many will only do so for a few weeks.
You can hibernate if you wish. It does make it easier to breed them, but it is also very, very risky if you do not do it right.
If you want to try, here is a good article: http://boxturtlesite.info/hib.html

I dont think you have a choice. i think all turles hibernate. Ours does. We have a box turtle. Around Sept his eating slows down and he's not as active, and his eyes stay shut..........around April he perks back up again, and he's back to normal. The first year it scared us, but i think he is just hibernating.

Yes if you do not let them hibernate then they will become stressed and sick.

If you do, don't let him get frostbite....he can't afford to lose anymore toes!
