1, fidgeting: Turtles usually fidget before they die. They may foresee their own death, or feel uncomfortable because of abnormal death, so they will be restless. At this time, we must pay attention to the physical condition of the tortoise.
2, listless: the tortoise will be very listless when it dies normally, because its physical function is declining, so it will be very weak and have no interest in anything.
3. Smell: Under normal circumstances, turtles have a smell, but dying turtles have a pungent smell, which is a sign that they are about to die.
4. Swim askew: The turtle on one side is a signal that your animal has a big problem. One-sided or not straight when swimming, indicating that your turtle has buoyancy problems. This problem may be caused by various reasons, but usually, it means that there is liquid or air in the lungs that is not properly balanced in your turtle cavity.
5. Sleepiness: A more serious sign that your turtle is dying is sleepiness. The tortoise's drowsiness is the guarantee of knowing something is wrong. Similarly, many of these symptoms may be signs of female turtles, however, unless your turtle is a female turtle over 4 years old, these symptoms are likely to be signs of potential diseases.
