    Solution: 1. Turtles and turtles are naturally timid, and turtles that have just arrived at home do not like to eat because they are relatively unfamiliar with the environment. Rest them and let them get used to it;

    2. After resting, when the turtle is hungry, place earthworms, mosquito-eating fish, dried shrimp and other foods in front of its mouth and wait for it to eat.

    3. If you have not eaten and sneezed after half a month, and you have large breathing symptoms, you need to use amoxicillin soaking in time.

    Turtles are slower to adapt, so please be patient.

    1. The temperature is low, the pet turtle is an ectothermic animal, and the activity of enzymes in the body is between 28 degrees and 32 degrees, so the best temperature for feeding is also in the range of 28 degrees and 32 degrees, including growth, disease, injury recovery, as long as it is related to metabolism, then the limit of hand temperature.

    2. Stress reaction: When the new turtle arrives at home, it may be caused by the problem of stress, and the turtle is unfamiliar with the new environment, which will produce uneasy and even fearful emotions. In this case, it usually takes 3 to 7 days for the turtle to eat, and some turtles that are not well accommodating to the new environment may not eat for 1 or 2 weeks.

    There are two main reasons why Brazilian turtles don't eat:1. On the one hand, there are environmental factors, such as unsuitable temperature, unclean water quality, etc.;

    2. On the other hand, there are diseases, such as gastroenteritis, pneumonia and other diseases, which lead to a decrease in appetite due to physical discomfort.

    Why don't Brazilian tortoises eat in the summer

    The Brazilian tortoise (chelonoidisdenticulata) is a common tortoise that tends to stop eating during the summer months. What is it that makes them reluctant to eat?

    1. The temperature is too high in summer

    The main habitat of the Brazilian turtle is the Amazon rainforest of South America, and its suitable temperature is around 25. High temperatures in summer can easily cause turtle heatstroke, causing digestive disorders. Therefore, high summer temperatures are one of the main reasons why Brazilian turtles do not eat.

    2. The amount of summer activity decreases

    As temperatures rise, Brazilian tortoises choose to reduce their activity to avoid excessive exertion and hydration. Less activity means less energy to expend, so you won't feel hungry if you don't eat in the summer.

    3. Alternative moisture**

    Brazilian tortoises are born with burrows that dig in the soil, which are important for storing water**. In summer, there is more rainfall and there is more water in the soil, so you don't necessarily need to replenish it. Therefore, the Brazilian turtle can maintain the water balance of the body by absorbing the source of water in the summer.

    4. The influence of breeding environment and biological clock

    For those Brazilian tortoises that are kept indoors, although the temperature changes in the outside world will affect them, the breeding environment also has a certain impact on their resting and eating. At the same time, the artificial light source in the breeding environment may disrupt the biological clock of the turtle, thus affecting its feeding habits.

    The main reason is that the temperature and water temperature during the hibernation period are low, especially in the northern region, the turtle can hardly tolerate long-term low temperatures, resulting in gradual weakening of the physique and death. There are also some aquatic turtles, such as the Brazilian tortoise, which die of lack of water indoors due to the drying of the air due to heating indoors in northern regions. In addition, the turtle fails to replenish nutrients in time in the autumn, and the nutrients stored in the body cannot meet the needs of its hibernation period, which will also lead to the death of the turtle.

    Therefore, before hibernation, it is necessary to pay attention to the observation that if the turtle has thin limbs and light weight, and the aquatic turtle often floats on the surface of the water, it is necessary to pay more attention to take measures. Before the turtle hibernates, increase the amount of feeding, and add nutrients and antibiotics to the turtle's food, such as multivitamin powder, vitamin E powder, epimycin powder, etc., to enhance the turtle's resistance and cope with the hibernation period. For particularly weak turtles, they can be raised alone, and if necessary, the temperature must be strengthened so that the turtle does not hibernate and the turtle eats normally.

    When the Brazilian turtle spends the winter in a heated room, pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the turtle's body, wrap the turtle body with a damp cloth, and sprinkle some water appropriately every day. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the turtles and turtles can survive the winter.

    Brazilian tortoises hibernate every year.

    Brazilian Turtle Breeding Methods and Precautions:

    1. Brazilian tortoises like to be in pools. The Brazilian turtle has a lively personality and does not like to live in a very small space like a fish tank, he likes to live in a large pool, which needs to be planted with some aquatic plants, and it is best to put some toys for him.

    2. The room temperature of breeding should be kept above 20 degrees Celsius. Because the Brazilian turtle likes a hot environment, it is still relatively sensitive to temperature, and the temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the Brazilian turtle will enter a dormant state, and will remain for a long time.

    3. You need to take it out when you change the water. Because the Brazilian turtle is more active, it always likes to stretch its neck, so be sure to take it out when changing the water to avoid choking on it.

    4. It is necessary to change the water-based flush once a day. Because the Brazilian turtle loves to be clean, so it is necessary to change the water for him every day, which will also help it grow brightly, and the water temperature must be controlled above 20 degrees Celsius, and the difference in water temperature between the two water changes cannot be very large.

    5. Give him frequent sun exposure. The Brazilian turtle is a small animal that likes to bask in the sun, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun also help him kill bacteria, and can also give it calcium, so there are many benefits of sunbathing.
