    Stop eating for a few days, if it is a water turtle, bask in the sun more, the metabolism in the body will also speed up when the temperature is high, it is not recommended to use medicine for the time being, but I see that some people will feed the medicine we eat to the turtle, this is the last step, don't take medicine first, the amount is not easy to control. But I'm curious, do you feed it with the shell, the shell is too hard, and many people say that feeding insects is easy to get gastrointestinal infections, it is recommended to feed it less, don't use it as a staple food, as an occasional adjustment of food. I'll give you how I feed the turtle, if you like it, you can refer to it:

    1. If there is shrimp or beef in the meal bought at home, I will take a little bit and cut it into cubes (the smaller the turtle meat, the smaller it is, but don't chop it, the minced meat will spread out when you put it in the water, and the turtle will stink if you can't eat it).

    2. I usually buy some turtle food (I buy the lifeline) or bread worms, dried shrimp and the like, and feed them when there is no fish and shrimp meat.

    3. Or take cooked rice, put it in plastic wrap after it cools, crush it, knead it into a puree and it is very sticky, then add all the above I said, (crushed fish and shrimp meat, vegetable radish cut into small shreds, crushed turtle food, all and rice puree together, but don't add too much, so as not to eat diarrhea) and then make it into very small balls, turtles love to eat, and the nutrition is balanced. In fact, the main thing is to use the stickiness of rice to make all the food sticky, and then it can't be picky, and eating it all is good for its health.

    Usually bask in the sun and replenish calcium. Wishing you a healthy turtle! My three are 6 years old, so fat and fat, haha, I usually feed them too much. Feeding once a day in the summer, baby turtles eat about the same amount of food as their head, with the big turtles having their neck plus their head.

    Turtles eating snails should remove their thick shells, otherwise they will get stuck in their throats.

    First of all, you can't eat snails with their shells closed, and if the shells are not bitten, there is a high chance that they will get stuck in the turtle's throat. Secondly, the adult turtle can remove the snail's shell on its own, while the young turtle needs the owner's help to remove the snail's shell and then give it food because it is inexperienced.

    Finally, if you feel that it is more troublesome to feed snails to turtles, you can choose dried fish, shrimp skin, etc., which is relatively convenient and safe. It is necessary to pay attention to the diversity of ingredients fed to the turtles, and avoid letting the turtles eat the same kind of feed, resulting in a single nutritional intake.

    Precautions for keeping turtles

    When preparing the fish tank, be sure to give the turtle a larger tank. Don't give a pot to the tortoise. Because tortoises are amphibians, but live in water most of the time, be sure to put them in a larger pool with a stone on the surface of the water for them to rest.

    If you want to raise a turtle, it is best not to use tap water, but to use water from a pond or a small lake, because there is also chlorine hidden in the tap water, and if the turtle lives in the tap water for a long time, the life of the turtle will be shortened.

    Turtles can eat snails. Snails are pests, he eats plants and vegetables, and there are often snails on the wall in my community, and I pick them up for turtles to eat in the summer. The tortoise eats the meat like a melon seed, chews the shell and leaves it behind.

    If you give it snail meat, of course it will eat it, but if you let it eat it in its shell, it doesn't seem to be able to eat it.
