Reasons why turtles don't eat

1. Low ambient temperature leads to: Generally, when the temperature is lower than 2℃, the turtle's appetite will gradually decrease, or even become completely lost. Therefore, during the hibernation period of non-turtles, pets mainly pay attention to keeping the temperature of turtle breeding environment suitable, and keep the temperature at 2~25℃. In addition, after the tortoise's hibernation, we should also pay attention to analyze whether the tortoise is suitable for eating according to the temperature. Generally, the tortoise is not suitable for eating just after hibernation. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the tortoise will gradually start eating. However, these are normal conditions and will not affect the health of turtles. Pet owners need not worry more.

2. Improper feeding methods lead to: If the turtle is inadvertently fed with mildew-proof and corrupt food or the feeding area is inconvenient to eat by mistake, it will also lead to the turtle not eating.

3. Unfamiliar and uneasy about the environment: The tortoise will not eat even if it is unfamiliar with the environment. This situation often occurs when turtles have just been taken home to raise. When the tortoise comes to a new environment, the strange environment will make the tortoise feel strange, uneasy and even afraid. In this case, the tortoise will not eat. Generally, after 3~7 days, the tortoise gradually adapts to the new environment, and when it is no longer unfamiliar with the environment, it will gradually start eating. In this case, the pet owner does not have to intervene too much to ensure a good breeding environment and let the tortoise adapt to the environment slowly.

4. Don't eat because you feel uncomfortable with a certain disease: Not eating is a common manifestation of turtle's illness or physical discomfort. Usually there will be loss of appetite, anorexia, refusal to eat and other manifestations. If this happens, it is necessary to help the sick turtle cure the disease and restore its appetite in time.

5. Tortoise indigestion: Although tortoises are suitable for nutritious foods such as eat small fish, shrimp, screws, raw lean meat, etc., pet owners should cut up the food before feeding it, and don't feed it too much lean lean meat and other indigestible foods at one time, otherwise it will easily lead to tortoises indigestion, resulting in a situation of not eating. Be sure to control the feeding amount.
