The cuteness of the little tortoise can always attract a group of children or pet lovers to raise it, but the result of raising is always sad, and it is often the death of the baby turtle that does not eat during the raising. So many friends will ask: what should the little turtle do if they don't eat? What I want to say about this kind of problem is that the owners should first find the reason why the turtle does not eat, and then they can grasp the solution after finding the reason.

1. Reasons for turtles not eating

1. Turtles, like humans, have certain environmental factors that will affect their desire to eat of. Generally, the temperature is too low, which will cause the tortoise to hibernate and have no appetite. If the most basic necessary conditions such as the feeding environment and the water level are not done properly, the tortoise cannot eat normally at all. Too low or too high water level will directly affect the tortoise's feeding situation.

2. Newly purchased small turtles must be properly raised first, and the turtles should be fed normally as soon as possible; this is also the most basic condition for them to survive well. If you can't start eating normally for several days, it will become more and more anorexia, and the appetite will become worse and worse, and it will be more difficult to feed the longer it is delayed. If you can't eat normally every day, it begins to metabolize the fat and muscle tissue stored in the body, and gradually consumes and dies.

3. Turtle's illness is also an important reason for the tortoise's hunger strike. Usually, the tortoise will get sick because of the excessive temperature change, and will have anorexia after getting sick. If the owner can't impatiently find out, the tortoise is not To die is to starve.

4. Turtles do not eat or have anorexia. It may be a food problem. The main reason for raising is to check whether the food is moldy, stale, expired, or food that the turtle does not eat. You can try to feed a different food.

2. What should the turtle do if it doesn't eat?

1. Differences in temperature and light will cause the turtle to lose its appetite. The owner can Appropriately increase the water temperature. Generally, the water temperature is above 15 degrees, and the turtle will gradually begin to eat. The higher the temperature, the earlier the turtle will eat.

2. Increase the light, the light can increase the appetite of the turtle, the light can also add calcium to the turtle, and the ultraviolet rays of the sun can also kill bacteria and prevent diseases. Therefore, increasing the light time can increase the appetite of the turtle and enable the turtle to eat as soon as possible.

3. To make baby turtles eat well, they should be fed foods that are nutritious and high in calcium: such as raw fish, shrimps, screws, earthworms, insects , worms, refined meat and other foods, do not feed hard-to-digest foods such as cooked refined meat and fatty meat, otherwise the turtle will get sick, so let the turtle eat as much as possible during this period, so that the turtle can fully accumulate energy.

4. Keep the turtle tank clean and hygienic and change the water frequently; the correct feeding environment and water level are the biggest factors that determine whether it can eat normally. The minimum water level for correct feeding should be 10-15cm.

5. If two turtles are very different in size in a breeding tank, they should be kept separately.

6. The water quality for raising turtles must be pure water, not tap water, otherwise turtles are prone to white eye disease.

7. Regularly sterilize the feeding tank, get more sunlight, and add carrots, fruits and calcium tablets containing vitamin C to the food to help solve the anorexia of the little turtle.
