What if the leopard tortoise does not eat as soon as it gets home? How should it be treated?

Many friends are happy to wait for their favorite leopard turtles, only to find that leopards begin to diarrhea and do not eat, even if they eat a little. What should we do in this situation? How to treat it? In fact, there are many ways to treat leopard turtle diarrhea, the focus is not to feed a large number of drugs, but will cause further damage to the leopard tortoise body. Not only after diarrhea appears, but after the leopard turtle arrives at your house, it is necessary to recuperate. Let's take a look at the conditioning methods of the editor.

First, treat leopard turtle diarrhea

1. Feed every other day.

Don't put water plates in the box for raising leopards. On the one hand, do not let them drink too much water, control diarrhea, on the other hand, let them take more water in the vegetable leaves when soaking and feeding.

two。 Feed a little bac at a time

Be sure to watch them eat. At the same time, every time you put a small amount of berberine powder in the bath, you must have a small amount of berberine powder. After all, too many drugs are harmful to the internal organs of turtles. Almost the powder you put makes the water in the bath so yellow that you can take a bath after that, then according to the first rule, leopards will drink water during the bath because they have no water supplement, so they will drink berberine. The best reason for this is to save the refusals caused by our forced feeding. After taking a bath, dry them, especially the gap between the four legs, and then give some vegetable leaves with bac in conjunction with the previous method of boosting appetite. The whole bottle of bac is very expensive, and you will definitely not be able to use it. There are bags of bac sold on Taobao, 10 yuan a pack, enough for you to take care of.

3. Serious situation

If it is found that leopards eat vegetables and pull vegetables, or the poop is frozen or almost watery, it means it is still quite serious. Eating vegetables shows that there is an obvious lack of digestive enzymes in the tortoise. The best way to supplement digestive enzymes is to feed them. If they eat feed, give them feed, or cooperate with Cai to increase their appetite. It is best to use toilet paper to dry the feed after soaking, or it will contain too much water. If you shit into jelly or almost water, there should be worms in the body. I forgot exactly what kind of worms, but what you have to do is metronidazole. Go to the drugstore to buy some metronidazole, the specific feeding method can be made into a powder bath or sprinkled on the vegetable leaves for them to eat, if there is a state of refusing to eat, then take it with water and chopped powder. The effect of metronidazole is so fast that you will be exposed to this severe diarrhea on the second or third day. But note that this is also a cautious drug, do not give too much, if diarrhea is not so serious, it is better to be the same as the above method, bac+ berberine powder + feed + do not put water basin.

4. To fight insects

If you are a leopard of 9cm and 12cm, you'd better beat the worm when you get home. In the same way, use the intestinal worm to make a powder and sprinkle it on the dish. If you give it repeatedly for a few days, you can see that there are disorderly bugs in the defecation. Just don't give too much, but don't give it at once.

5. Manufacturing sun spot

The temperature is controlled at 2832 degrees. It should be higher under the hot lamp. You can put the tortoise under the hot lamp every day and give him no more than 35 degrees sun. If the lamp is too hot, don't put it at the bottom, put it a little to the side. Or you'll die of dehydration in the sun.

See if he can crawl away after basking in the sun. If it will, it will be fine. If not, you will have to remove him from the lamp and continue tomorrow after 30 or 40 minutes of exposure. And then soak in water every day. Pay attention to the water temperature when soaking, and you can put the basin under the hot lamp to keep the water from getting cold too fast.

6. Keep the ambient humidity at about 70-80%, never lower than 60%.

The reason is that tortoises need ambient temperature to keep their metabolism normal, but with high temperature and low humidity, the tortoise will soon become dehydrated, making the problem even more serious. High humidity can ensure that there is enough water in the turtle body, so there will be no danger.

7. Rapeseed and lettuce don't have any nutrition, but they have a lot of water.

Turtles and people, people eat bad food at noon, immediately have diarrhea in the afternoon, is the rapid peristalsis of the stomach, the bad things excreted out. Turtles also have diarrhea because of stress. So the corn shoots fed are likely to be pulled out the next day. The reason why the turtle has diarrhea is that the intestines and stomach of the tortoise peristalsis too fast. High-fiber grass powder will slow down the gastrointestinal peristalsis of turtles.

If he doesn't eat anything, he just eats oil and wheat, and we have to feed it a little bit, but we have to feed it yesterday and dry it all night, otherwise if he is fed with rape that is too fresh, he will pull even longer. Then sprinkle a real little bit of grass powder on the rape, or crushed, powdered tortoise food, at the beginning, to really a little bit, to see if he eats? At first, it was so small that he could hardly detect it, and then slowly increased. Be psychologically prepared, for you have entered the stage of a long-term war of resistance. You have to be very patient. Slowly increase the amount of grass meal and tortoise food until he is willing to eat tortoise food.

8. Try other foods

You can try mulberry leaves and grape leaves. Keep it dry and crisp.

Second, preliminary recuperation and feeding at home

In order for the leopards to adapt to the environment smoothly when they get home, and begin to take care of them.

1. The first day when I got home

No matter what the state of the leopard is when you buy it, no matter how edible it is, don't give it just because it looks so good that it is likely to overeat and die. I used to have a four claws. When I got home, I could eat more obviously than the other four claws, but after two days of such unscrupulous food, I died in the water plate inexplicably. Be sure to control the amount of food, because we don't know how often the merchants feed it. If you don't feed it for a long time, it's only once a few days. If you suddenly give too much food, it's easy to block or refuse to eat too much food. Therefore, on the first day of arriving home, we give a little bit of vegetables, a piece, or a little more than one piece step by step every day according to the size of the individual, adding a little amount every day, and don't be distressed, using the method of feeding every other day. In this way, I guarantee that the state of the leopard will gradually stabilize.

two。 Leopards don't eat when they get home.

Don't worry, it may be due to physical discomfort caused by bumps in the course of transportation, or because you don't adapt to the environment and refuse to eat. What we need to do is to make a hidden place or a cave or nest for it in advance, so that it has a certain sense of security. If the state of the leopard itself is fine, then we should not stare at it too carefully during the first feeding, and do not fill it in our mouth because we do not eat, which will make the leopard nervous and less adaptable to the environment. The only thing we do when we don't eat is to try to make a piece of apple or other fruit and put it in front of it. if it eats, that's good, and then gradually feed it with apples and vegetables. Then slowly reduce the amount of apples, slowly, it will recover and eat vegetables.

3. Using the conditioned reflex ability of animals to promote appetite

At the same time of the above feeding methods, wash the vegetables and put them outside the box every day so that they can see, so that they will definitely want to come and eat, and you will see them moving anxiously around through the glass. At this time, don't rush to put the food in, take a dish to tempt the leopard through the glass, let it walk with your dish, over time, you will find that this is a good way to maintain the leopard's appetite. Just like the experiment in which dogs drool when they see a red light, they do the same to animals many times, even if you don't feed them. When the vegetables are put in less water, you will put the vegetables in, and you will find that the leopards will rush over and eat all of the following. "We must pay attention here, feed less but not more, they will look for food after eating, that is a good thing, do not feed to death every time, that will hinder the appetite for the next meal."

4. About feeding feed and calcium powder vitamins

I suggest giving some in moderation. After all, those things contain a small amount of nutrients that are not found in the vegetables. It is not easy to give more, but the right amount is good. There are not only many nutrients in the feed, but also digestive enzymes, which can help leopards exercise their intestines. If the intestines are beautiful, the leopard is beautiful. Some people say that eating more feed will cause back augmentation, which may be due to eating too much feed, leading to the rapid growth of turtles, in which there is no good calcium supplement, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of calcium and phosphorus, so there will be back augmentation. And just buy turtles to feed them, will be very good to promote their digestion and control of diarrhea.

Therefore, we must have a good understanding of the habits of turtles and a heart that is willing to spend time and energy on them. Only in this way can the leopards be kept healthy!
