Why don't Brazilian turtles eat? what's going on with Brazilian turtle peeling?

At present, Brazilian tortoises are very common in the market. So, some people who raise Brazilian turtles will be troubled by Brazilian turtles. Are you troubled, too? Is it normal for Brazilian turtles not to eat? Most people will think that the Brazilian tortoise peeling is changing its shell, because the tortoise changing its shell is a normal growth phenomenon. In fact, peeling is different from changing its shell. How is desquamation going on? Now let me talk about how to solve the two problems that Brazilian turtles are bothering people.

Why don't Brazilian turtles eat?

1. It is normal for the tortoise to hibernate when the temperature is less than 13 degrees.

2. Some little turtles have eye disease, because they can't see anything, so they can't see what they eat, so you must check their bodies. In the past, there was an accident in which the turtles starved to death with eye disease.

3. It is still related to the body of the little tortoise. There may be something wrong with the intestines and stomach or other problems. It is better to see a doctor as soon as possible.

4, the so-called "special turtle food" is generally best not to feed, because it is impossible to judge the pros and cons. It's not good to eat it.

5. A tortoise that is too small can not eat. If it is hungry for a long time, it will sleep, while a turtle that is too small will often never wake up when it is dormant, so it should be fed more to avoid dormancy. When it grows bigger than a matchbox, it usually eats by itself.

6. There are other reasons for not eating: strange environment; cold, do not eat; have not eaten fish, meat.

Brazilian turtle peeling. What's going on?

Brazilian tortoise desquamation should be observed to see whether viral desquamation is still normal. Are there any signs of further festering. You can add some antibiotics to the water, such as erythromycin, penicillin and so on. The turtle's scales will peel first, just like pieces of fish scales affixed to it, pay attention! Don't help him take those scales off! The ripe pedicel of melon will fall naturally, and my tortoise will hurt its shell because it has removed some scales that seem to be falling off. It will only grow well for a year or two. After growing well, there will be a scar there, and there will no longer be a beautiful pattern. It will kill it if it is infected with bacterial turtle shell and rot, and its old skin will fall off when it molts, just like a snake, but it will not be replaced with a new one at once. But hanging on it is like wearing a wedding dress, it's interesting, and of course don't tear it down for the same reason as above, so what you need to do when the turtle molts is to keep the fish tank clean and change the water frequently. Molting is a sign that turtles grow up, and the color and pattern of the turtles become worse after molting.

How to handle the peeling of Brazilian turtles

1. Judge what is the real reason for the tortoise peeling. First of all, the real reason for the turtle's peeling should be carefully judged. The reasons for turtle peeling are various, and most of the time it should be a normal growth phenomenon. If you lose your skin normally, you don't have to be too nervous, indicating that the turtle is healthy and growing. If the skin of the turtle is flocculent filaments or even rot and inflammation, it may be a skin infection and must be treated in time.

2. Membrane peeling is a normal phenomenon of tortoise peeling. Pay attention to ensure that the tortoise peeling off naturally. Membrane peeling is the shedding of the turtle, which is an inevitable sign of the growth of the tortoise. This kind of tortoise shed its skin like a snake, not all at once, but gradually. At this time, owners must not be in a hurry to tear it down, which will definitely hurt the skin of the turtle, causing inflammation and even decay.

3. When the turtle peels off, keep the water tank clean and pay attention to the correct way to change the water. When the baby turtle molts, there will be a lot of dead skin in the water, which will affect the water quality environment. In order to keep the water tank clean, it is necessary to change the water tank every day, and the frequency of water change must be regular. When feeding the turtles, feed them little by little. Don't try to pour the food into the water at one time, resulting in too much food residue in the water and poor water quality.

How to deal with the turtle peeling?

4. Pay attention to basking the turtles in the sun and controlling the water temperature of the water tank. When the turtle peels off, you can give the turtle moderate sun exposure, which can give the turtle timely calcium supplement and prevent the turtle from suffering from osteomalacia. Usually pay attention to control the water temperature of the water tank, it is best to keep it at about 20 degrees, and pay attention to the temperature difference of the water not exceeding five degrees every day when changing water. If the temperature difference is too large, the turtles will not adapt and get sick.

5. Determine whether it is water mildew, and then dry the affected area to the turtle in time. If the skin of the tortoise is a floc filament, it should be determined to be water mildew. Water mold exists in the water, as long as the turtle is temporarily out of the water mold environment, and then the affected area of the turtle is dried, the disease will slowly disappear. The turtle tank should be thoroughly disinfected before putting the turtle back into the tank.

6. for serious decay, it is necessary to apply medicine in time to sterilize and reduce inflammation. If the skin of the turtle is thick and opaque, and the wound is red and swollen, this condition should be treated in time, regardless of the fact that the wound will become more serious and even rot to the flesh. First of all, wash the wound of the turtle with warm water, apply anti-inflammatory medicine to the affected area with a clean cotton swab, twice a day, and rest in a cool place for a few days. In this case, do not put the turtle in the sun, which will aggravate the infection of the wound. When the wound is healed, the turtles will be raised in a normal environment.

How to distinguish between decaying skin and molting of Brazilian turtles

1. Rotten skin is not flaky, and it is not in the way of falling off, but in a state of erosion.

2, molting how the skin is piece by piece, the texture is relatively hard, translucent.

3. Skin rot is caused by Monobubble bacillus infection. Due to the high feeding density, the turtles bit each other, and the bacteria invaded, causing skin tissue necrosis at the injured site. Water pollution is also easy to cause turtle disease, if not immediate treatment will lead to death in the later stage.

Do you understand me? Generally speaking, in many cases, it is normal for Brazilian turtles not to eat, but when the ambient temperature is right and the living environment is healthy, Brazilian turtles still do not eat, so the owner must pay attention to it. and find a way to solve the problem. And desquamate, it may be a fungal infection of the skin, is also more troublesome.
