    If you find that the turtle that you have just bought at the store is not eating food for some reason, and the food in the turtle tank has not moved at all, the owner will be very worried and wonder if the turtle is sick. What to do if a turtle doesn't eat? In fact, there are many reasons why turtles don't eat, such as unfamiliar with the environment, low temperature, dislike of certain foods, etc., which will cause turtles not to eat.

    There are roughly four reasons why Brazilian turtles don't eat:

    1. The temperature is not high enough. The tortoise will only eat when it is about 20 or above, but it will occasionally have the desire to eat when it is about 17, so don't feed it, otherwise it will cause indigestion.

    2. Brazilian turtles may have gastroenteritis. If you need medicine**, if you don't eat all the time, you need to soak it with glucose and some vitamins to replenish his energy and at the same time cooperate with medicine**.

    3. The water depth is not enough. In addition to tortoises, whether it is a water turtle or a semi-water turtle, turtles like to be in deep water, not as many people say to him dry or shallow water raising, this is a misunderstanding of many people, the water is at least over the back, when the water is too shallow, the turtle would rather starve to death than eat, the water depth is at least 10 15cm, but it also depends on the size of the turtle turtle, your turtle thinks it is no problem, but there must be something that protrudes from the water surface, so that the turtle can come up to rest and breathe, the turtle and turtle breathe with lungs in the water, It's much more enjoyable than dry or shallow water. Don't worry about the turtle turtle drowning, he originally lives in the water, the general grass turtle flower turtle lives in lakes and rivers, 3 4m of water is not a problem for turtles and turtles at all, not to mention the depth of our own water.

    In short, the shallow water may also be one of the reasons why the turtle does not eat.

    4. Changes in the environment. The new unfamiliar environment can cause the Brazilian turtle to eat abnormally and it will take some time to get used to.

    The Brazilian turtle has a beautiful pattern and is very adaptable to the environment. The ability to reproduce and grow is very good, and it is recognized as an ecological killer. In general, except for hibernation, Brazilian turtles have a good appetite.

    If your Brazilian turtle refuses to eat, it may be sick. Today, I will take you to understand what to do if the Brazilian turtle does not eat? What are some reasons why Brazilian turtles don't eat?

    What to do if the Brazilian turtle does not eat: due to temperature, the Brazilian turtle will only eat at a room temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, when the temperature is too low, it will not eat, and occasionally it will beg for food at low temperatures, but the owners should not give it food, which is easy to cause indigestion. Feeding time should be mastered.

    In summer, the weather is hot, and the turtle is "sleepy" at noon, so it is not very active at noon, so it is recommended to feed in the afternoon in summer. In spring and autumn, the turtle is inactive in the morning and evening, and the feeding time is changed to noon. Analyze the specific situation on a case-by-case basis, find out the habits of your turtle, and feed it the most appropriately.

If the water is too shallow, they would rather be hungry than eat.

    Eating in the water does not include tortoises. Raising Brazilian tortoises requires a moderate depth of water. Create a good living environment for him.

    If there is not enough water, or there is no water, the turtle will not move, become lethargic, and starve to death after a long time.

    In addition, the amount of food given to the turtle should be the same each time, and no more or too little should be given. The turtle itself is very resistant to hunger, so there is no need to give it many things. It's good to fix it every time.

    Ensure that the food given to the Brazilian tortoise is fresh, as it pleases, and that the food you like can be given often, and every time the tortoise finishes eating the food, the water tank should be cleaned and the water should be changed to ensure that the water quality is clean. Disinfect regularly to avoid germs.

The reason why I say this is mainly that they are now in the domestic population has been very large, not that they have strong reproductive ability in the wild in our country but that there are too many artificial releases and abandonments, the most common ornamental turtle species in the market is Brazil, so people buy the most Brazil Once the owner has an accident or its disease, most of the owners will choose to abandon and release, so that the number of wild animals is increasing year by year Once in the wild, they will compete with native species for living space and materials, and will also prey on protozoa But the influence of this thing is almost minimal, its predatory ability is very limited, and there are only a handful of species it can kill in the wild In addition, some experts say that Brazil has had a devastating impact on the survival of native turtles and turtles, which is simply nonsense, and China's native turtles were caught by people, blaming Brazil, which is more ignorant and more shameful.
