Crocodile turtles

Crocodile turtles are usually raised as meat turtles, but there are also many as pets. Crocodile turtles are fierce, so you should pay special attention to safety when raising them. What if your crocodile turtle suddenly stops eating?

The giant snapping turtle can grow up to a great size. Generally, the adult size will be 61-76 cm. At one time, the largest snapping turtle was 79 cm and weighed 17 kg. Crocodile turtle needs to eat a lot of food when it grows up. If it suddenly stops eating, we must see why it doesn't eat, and treat it in time to help it return to a normal diet.

Crocodile turtles are carnivorous creatures, but this is not absolute. Like fresh pigs, sheep, cattle and lean meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, they are all edible. However, there are many reasons why snapping turtles don't eat. To solve the problem of snapping turtles' refusal to eat, we should first find the cause and then prescribe the right medicine, so that snapping turtles can return to a normal diet.

The big snapping turtles who just bought home will not eat or eat less because they are unfamiliar and unaccustomed to the environment. At this time, they may prefer to forage in the dark and quiet place. At this time, it is best to give the crocodile turtle a long adaptation process, put it in a dark and quiet place for 1~2 days (or longer), so that it can gradually adapt to the environment, and then it will eat normally after it adapts.
