What if the tortoise doesn't eat?

What if the tortoise doesn't eat? Tortoise is a very adaptable animal, but also a variable temperature animal, its state will change with the rise and fall of temperature, the most suitable environmental temperature for turtle growth is 26-28 degrees Celsius, once the ambient temperature begins to change, the turtle's appetite will also change. In addition, disease and food will affect the turtle's appetite to varying degrees.

What are the reasons why turtles don't eat?

Turtles do not eat will affect their health and growth. For turtles that do not eat, the causes should be analyzed in time and targeted measures should be taken to deal with them.

1. The temperature is too low to eat.

In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the turtle's appetite will be greatly reduced, or even no appetite. Therefore, under normal circumstances, after the tortoise wakes up from hibernation, it is necessary to analyze whether the tortoise should eat or not according to the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), it is generally normal for turtles not to eat; if the temperature is higher than 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), it is not normal for turtles to eat. For the tortoise caused by low temperature, the way to deal with it is to let nature take its course, and when the temperature rises, the tortoise will naturally eat.

2. Improper feeding leads to not eating.

The incorrect method of feeding caused the tortoise not to eat. For example, feed the turtle food it doesn't want to eat, or put the food in a position that makes it inconvenient for the tortoise to eat, and so on. For this kind of incorrect feeding method, the tortoise does not eat, as long as it is fed to the tortoise according to the correct feeding method, it will eat.

3. The unripe environment leads to not eating.

The unfamiliarity of the environment causes turtles not to eat, which is mainly manifested in that after some turtles are bought back, the new environment will make the turtles feel strange, uneasy and even frightened.

What kind of food does the turtle eat?

What do turtles like to eat, and what food should they feed to raise little turtles? Turtles eat a wide range of food, such as rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails and so on, among which the favorite foods are small fish, snails, corn and rice. In artificial feeding, in order to meet the various nutrients needed for the growth of turtles and avoid growth retardation and anorexia due to a single feed, a variety of feeds should be adopted. such as fish and shrimp, snails, mussels in animal feed and rice, wheat and corn in plant feed.

Because of the variety of turtles, generally speaking, water turtles are omnivorous and partial to meat, beef and mutton and small fish, if you are willing to give them shrimp. However, after eating shrimp, basically do not eat other food. This kind of food must be raw and chopped for convenience. If you want to throw a big platoon into it, it will probably take several days. Then, when I am very hungry, I will also eat white rice, but I want cold rice, not freshly cooked rice. Tortoise is an omnivorous vegetarian, eating vegetables, leaves, tomatoes and so on.

It should be noted that if it is animal food, it is generally necessary to change the water after eating, especially in summer to prevent the water from deteriorating. Try to change the water with overnight tap water and use one night to volatilize the chlorine in the water, otherwise you may choke the turtle's eyes.

What if the tortoise doesn't eat?

1. Turtles must be in the water to eat! Or you can't swallow it. This is one of the favorite mistakes made in breeding. Raising the water level is very shallow or feeding without entering the water, so it is impossible for turtles to eat. The lowest water level should be submerged several times, at least at 10-15cm.

2. The temperature of the water is the biggest factor in absolute appetite, food and activity.

3. it will be seriously dehydrated and refused to eat if it keeps dry or at a low water level or even does not enter the water. it can only be sleepy, poor activity and dry consumption every day, and the wrong dry maintenance is very delaying. it will not only be seriously dehydrated, but also consume the body so much that it will not only be unable to eat normally without water, but can only rely on drowsiness most of the time to reduce consumption. Use up the last trace of physical strength.
