    The first reason why turtles don't eat is that the temperature is low. In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the appetite of the turtle decreases, and when the temperature is below 20 degrees, it generally does not eat much. Now the autumn equinox has long passed, and it will be cold dew soon, the temperature is dropping in many places, and the turtle friends in the northern region are preparing to let the turtle hibernate, and my turtle has not been fed for more than 20 days, and I am ready to let them hibernate, and the southern region can still be fed for a while.

    So at this time, it is normal for turtles in the northern region and even in the central region not to eat.

    The second reason is that the turtle has not yet adapted to the new environment, which is mainly manifested in the fact that some turtles will make the turtle feel uneasy and even fearful after the new environment is purchased. In this case, it usually takes a few days to eat, and some turtles that are less receptive to the new environment even need to take a week or two to eat, so we should try to provide them with a safe and comfortable environment, try to disturb them as little as possible, and let them have a sense of security, so that they can adapt to the new environment faster.

    The third reason is that the turtle is sick, many diseases will cause the turtle not to eat, such as white eye disease, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, etc., for this situation, as long as the turtle is cured, it will eat. Some turtle friends buy turtles when buying a very small seedling turtle small, the resistance and other aspects are not as good as the big turtle, and then after such a toss on the road, many mental states are not good, it takes a period of time to recover, the packaging is not good, and it is very likely that there are internal injuries when thrown around on the road. So in the fall, if you don't have much experience or equipment, if you buy a turtle, try to buy a bigger one!

    At least it's a little easier to take care of than a baby turtle.

    The fourth reason is that the turtle you feed the turtle does not like to eat, some turtles are really picky eaters, for this situation we need to try slowly, the food is as diverse as possible, so that there is always something it likes to eat, maybe it will eat.

    Can you tell me what kind of turtle you have? In fact, it is quite normal for turtles not to eat, and it is okay not to eat occasionally, because generally speaking, it doesn't matter if the turtle is two for one or two months.

    But if you don't eat for a long time, you may be sick, for example, your turtle has been. It hasn't been up for two, three or three or four weeks, and that's really wrong.

    We don't give reviews on the Internet, because sometimes the condition will be misjudged, so I recommend you to go to the local pet hospital.

    Of course, I still recommend that you starve him for a few weeks first, if he. If you really don't eat it, send it to the pet hospital. Sick pet hospitals are still quite expensive.
