    The baby turtle will not starve to death if it is not fed for a month. Of course you can't do without feed.

    You can feed it meat or earthworms and other small insects, meat and bugs are rich in protein, and meat is generally fed to meat.

    If possible, you can feed small fish, small shrimp. Shrimp are rich in calcium, which is good for the growth of Brazilian turtles.

    None of the people who can raise turtles are fed turtle food feed. Generally fed: earthworms, bread worms, fish and shrimp, lean meat.

    Herbivorous turtles can be fed vegetable leaves + dried shrimp.

    Turtles not eating will affect their health and growth, the main reasons for turtles not eating and the corresponding treatment methods are introduced as follows, for the reference of turtle friends:

    First, the temperature is low.

    In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the turtle's appetite will be reduced to a large extent, or even no appetite. Therefore, under normal circumstances, after the turtle wakes up from hibernation, it is necessary to analyze whether the turtle should eat according to the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), it is generally normal for the turtle not to eat; If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), the turtle still does not eat, it is not normal.

    For turtles that are caused by low temperatures, the treatment is to go with the flow, and when the temperature rises, the turtles will naturally eat.

    Second, improper feeding.

    It is the incorrect feeding method that causes the turtle not to eat. For example, feeding the turtle food that it does not want to eat, or placing the food in a way that makes it inconvenient for the turtle to eat, etc.

    Third, the ground is not familiar.

    It is the unfamiliarity of the environment that causes the turtle not to eat. The main manifestation is that after some turtles are bought, the new environment will make the turtles feel unfamiliar, uneasy and even fearful. In this case, it usually takes 3-7 days for the turtle to eat, and some turtles with poor acceptance of the new environment even take 1-2 weeks to eat.

    For turtles that do not eat due to such reasons, the treatment method is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the turtle as much as possible, minimize the interference to the turtle, and let the turtle adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

    Fourth, don't eat when you're sick.

    It is the tortoise that does not eat because it is sick. Some diseases, such as white eye disease, pneumonia, gastrointestinal diseases, etc., will make the turtle lose appetite, anorexia and refusal to eat. In this case, the turtle will only eat after the symptomatic ** disease.

    2.Give it nutritious food (fish, shrimp, raw pork).

    3.After feeding it to the celery, it is best to change the water immediately, especially when feeding pork, pork will form a layer of oil film on the water surface after soaking for a long time, and the turtle will be bad for the eyes after soaking for a long time, you will see that there is a white film on its eyes, and it is good to give it some eye drops at this time. (If it doesn't get better, remember to take it to the doctor!)

    4.Don't let it soak in water all the time, just half of its body.

    5.Change the water once a day.

    6.It is very important to stick to it every day and cultivate feelings!

    7.When you have free time, you can wait to bask in the sun with it, or let it go to the big tank to swim after dusting.

    8.When changing the water, remember to use water to flush it, if the water quality is not good, with a strong smell of bleach, it is best not to use.

    You should also pay attention to the time of feeding the turtle food, under normal circumstances, you can feed the turtle 2-3 times a week. It is usually fed once a day in the summer, once a few days in the fall, and no feeding is required if it hibernates in the winter.

    In summer, the turtle is generally fed in the morning or afternoon, and in other seasons, the best time for the turtle to eat is at noon, and it is more appropriate to feed at noon.

    The age of the turtle is different, and the amount of food eaten is not fixed, but the old thing can be based on the amount of food twice the size of the turtle's head.
