What should I do if a baby turtle only eats meat and not turtle food?

Are you wrong Just eat one food is not nutritious Food is not good Except for feeding shrimp meat, the turtles sold for more than a dozen pieces are generally Brazilian turtles, and Chinese grass turtles and pearl turtles are more common and belong to the water turtle class. Tortoise semi-water turtles are more expensive and are not easy to keep for novices.

1.Turtle feeding problem: Turtles will increase and decrease their exercise with the temperature and water temperature, and so does their appetite.

Most of the water turtles eat in the water, and the healthy and disease-free water temperature does not fall below 22 degrees Celsius turtle food will be found in the water, and the food can also be placed in the shallow water at the junction of land and water or near the slope of the water. However, sick turtles, low water temperature, wrong food, or newly bought turtles for a few days may not eat. The amount of food is set according to the size of each turtle's head, 1-2 times a day Terrapins like to eat raw meat.

Don't feed the same food for several days in a row, or malnutrition (except for shrimp meat) Turtles should feed raw small fish, shrimp, meat, etc. preferably in small pieces, and do not feed people cooked food, seasoning and a lot of fatty food. It is best to feed shrimp meat, and eat calcium supplements to make the turtle shell tougher. Feed the shrimp skin with water for 10 minutes first, because the shrimp skin bought is salty.

Do not feed when the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion. The most adapted temperature of the turtle is 25-30 degrees, when the fastest growth is 2Water Level Water Quality Issues:

The water level can be at the edge of the turtle shell The water quality must be remembered not to use directly connected tap water to raise turtles, especially in winter, where there is more bleaching powder. The water should be put on for at least one day, because there is chlorine in the direct tap water, and the turtle will be poisoned if used for a long time, and the eyes will have problems 3Turtle hibernation requires temperature conditions, and the ideal hibernation temperature should be between 7-10C.

When the temperature drops below 15C, the turtle will go into hibernation, and if you are not ready to let it hibernate, you should keep the temperature at 22C-30C. Generally below 20 degrees, the turtle's activity begins to decrease, the amount of food also decreases, eat less or do not eat before preparing for hibernation, the turtle must be healthy (the disease of the turtle has these, the eyes are white and swollen is white eye disease, ** or the turtle shell has ulceration is rotten skin disease or rotten nail disease, the turtle shell is soft nail disease, the turtle mouth and nose have mucus, breathe wide, mouth with a sound is very painful, it is a cold or pneumonia).

Sick turtles, young turtles (turtles larger than 6 cm), or turtles bought for the first year can not hibernate. The system is too weak, hibernation is easy to s, and physical strength cannot keep up. These 3 types can't hibernate, so you should consider buying a warming rod or don't want to buy semi-dry raising, and you can also survive the winter.

Heating rods are sold in the ornamental fish market, ask the store to pay attention to the usage. The price is about 20 for glass and about 50 for stainless steel. Semi-dry cultivation is to soak in water 3 times a day for about 15 minutes each time, the water temperature can be warm to the touch of your hand, the breeding box must be covered with a small slit to breathe It can play a role in heat preservation If you don't add a warming rod, soak the water for 15 minutes and it will be almost cold Take out the turtle Dry and put it in the breeding box Wait for the next soaking Pay attention to the water temperature Be careful of the turtle cold.

Turtles do not eat turtle food only meat, first simulate the wild living environment of turtles, and then give turtles to eat meaty food, such as fish, lean pork, snail meat, etc., choose a turtle with a strong appetite to "cohabit" with it, or be a "neighbor", use the animal's ability to imitate, or if it doesn't work, to observe whether the turtle is sick. Simulate the wild life environment of a turtle. That is, put some live fish, aquatic plants, stones, etc. in the tank, and you may be able to complete it and make the turtle eat.

Give the tortoise food with a strong smell of meat. For example, fish, lean pork, snail meat, etc., tie the food to a red thread, hold the other end in your hand, and let the food shake slightly in front of the turtle's nose, which may make the turtle "drool and can't stop". Be careful not to feed the turtle with metal tweezers with food, as doing so may prick the turtle's mouth.

Choose a turtle with a strong appetite to "cohabit" with it, or be a "neighbor", that is, keep it in a glass tank next to it, and use the animal's ability to imitate, maybe it will also "gobble" at this time.

If these tricks do not work, you must carefully observe whether the turtle body is thin, especially whether the eyes and dorsal armor are sunken, if there is this phenomenon, then most of the turtles have been sick, should be early **.

First, the food is single.

1. Reason: Grass turtles are omnivorous carnivores, and if they are fed turtle food for a long time, then they are likely to be bored. Not only because the nutrients of turtle food are limited, but also because grass turtles are tired of eating.

2. Treatment method: Feed the grass turtle more fresh bait they like to eat, such as water fleas, water earthworms, blood worms, etc. However, it should be noted that the live bait should be sterilized and disinfected in advance to reduce the chance of grass turtle disease.

Second, the water quality is too poor.

1. Reason: When the water quality environment is not clean, a large number of harmful bacteria will breed in the water. These bacteria can infect the body of the turtle, making the turtle sick and causing the problem of not eating turtle food.

2. Treatment method: change the water in time and add an appropriate amount of coarse salt to the water. At the same time, when feeding, the water should be changed two to three times a week, and about one-third of the water should be changed each time. It is also necessary to add an appropriate amount of coarse salt to the water, so as to have the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

3. Gastrointestinal accumulation.

1. Reason: If they eat too much, there is a lot of undigested food in the stomach, which will also cause them not to eat new food.

2. Solution: In this case, you only need to stop feeding the food and let them rest for a few days. When they have digested the food in their stomach and start foraging, they can be fed food.
