Power outage..

Can you place all of them in a closet or a small bathroom to easier regulate the warmth?

Box turtles are very hardy and in the house shouldn't effect them, they will slow down.

In a pinch, just dangle some regular, incandescent light bulbs nearby. They give off plenty of heat.

An electric hair dryer for a quick hot air touch up?

I think he's got no electric, just kerosene that is running out.

Hi, Craig.
Yup, that's what I said.
And the sliders, too, should be okay, shouldn't they ?

 

[cmacusa3]

Yes they will, mine are outside and it's raining and icing as we speak. These guys are tough.

Keep the Kerosene for the humans. Use blankets to insulate the torts if there's a risk of freezing. They'll be finr going dormant for a short while. Freak bad weather happens in the wild too.

they will be fine, they won't fully hibernate, they will slow down .

Both species you keep can handle the cool down. They are inside your house- it would take quite a long time for a reasonably well insulated house to get so cold that your turtles can't take it. Don't waste your limited fuel heating the air for temperate climate turtles.

Put them in a small container, heat some water on the stove or in the fire and place containers of heated water in the container with the turtles. They should be ok.
