I don t know what s wrong with my turtle that doesn t eat or drink

When the water temperature is above 15 degrees, the turtle begins to eat. From June to September, the food is in full bloom, and the amount of food begins to decline in November. When the water temperature drops below 15 degrees, it goes into hibernation.

Most of the methods of turtle wintering are to put a small wooden plate indoors, put 20-30 cm thick sand in the plate, put the turtle into the sand, and then sprinkle centimeter thick fine sand on the turtle body, cover it with gauze, spray some warm water regularly, and you can safely overwinter.

With a water temperature of 28°C, turtles are the most comfortable. Turtles with weak bodies and too small are not suitable for hibernation and are prone to sudden death under deep hibernation.

Suggestion: Either hibernate naturally (6-12° automatic entry). Either you can heat and breed, buy a heating rod, just more than 20 yuan, heat to the water temperature of 28 degrees, and then feed and raise normally.

Maybe it's about to go into hibernation.

Hehe, a turtle can live without eating or drinking. I don't know why. My mother's turtle often didn't give it anything to eat for a long, long time.

Or give it and it won't touch it at all. It's not like that for a day or two. When I asked my mom, I don't remember what she said.

Anyway, it's okay, it'll eat when it's hungry, but you'll have to put something in there. It can eat when it wants to.

The turtle is weak without eating, drinking, or moving, which may be due to the following reasons:

1. Due to the sudden change in the environment, the turtle has a feeling of discomfort, and the turtle has a stress response.

2. The temperature change of the season affects the biological clock of the turtle, and the turtle prepares to go into hibernation.

3. The turtle may be sick under unsuitable environmental conditions, usually ** disease or gastrointestinal disease.

The turtle does not eat or drink and does not move has a certain relationship with the surrounding environment, weather conditions and physical conditions, and the turtle will not eat or drink if it does not adapt to the new environment, and will not be too lazy to move. Low temperatures can also cause turtles to lose their appetite and have to wait for the temperature to rise, and diseased turtles can also have these symptoms, which need to be treated**.

If the turtle is fearful of its new environment, it may not eat or drink and remain on its stomach all the time. Try not to disturb the tortoise and provide a comfortable and quiet environment in which the tortoise can adjust to its new environment in a week or so.

It may also be because the temperature is too low, if the temperature is below 25 degrees, the turtle will lose its appetite and may not eat or drink. When the temperature rises, the turtle will also start to eat, which is not normal if it does not eat or drink for a long time.

It may also be because of illness, white eye disease, gastroenteritis, pneumonia and other diseases will make the turtle lose its appetite. The diseased turtle is also mentally deficient and often lies on its stomach without moving, and this symptom can be gradually relieved after symptomatic treatment.

Turtles that don't eat, drink, or move can be caused by a variety of reasons. First, we need to understand the possible causes of these symptoms, including temperature problems, disease problems, environmental problems, and stress problems.

1.Temperature issues: Turtles are cold-blooded animals, and their activities and metabolism are affected by the temperature of their environment. If the ambient temperature is too low or too high, the turtle may go into a dormant state, not eating, drinking, or moving.

2.Disease: Turtles may suffer from a disease that causes a decrease in appetite, water intake, and even reduced activity.

Common ailments include digestive problems, respiratory infections, etc. If the turtle does not eat or drink for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

3.Environmental problems: There may be problems with the breeding environment of turtles, such as unsuitable water quality and unsuitable feed. These problems may cause turtles to be reluctant to eat or drink.

4.Stress problems: Turtles may be affected by some kind of stressor, such as environmental changes, mating season, etc. These factors may cause the turtle to temporarily go without eating, drinking, or moving. Zhongpei.

In order to solve these problems, you can try the following:

1.Control the ambient temperature: Keep the temperature of the breeding environment stable, and determine the appropriate temperature range according to the species and size of the turtle.

2.Check food and water quality: Make sure the food and water provided to the turtle is fresh and meets the turtle's needs. At the same time, check whether the water quality meets the survival requirements of the turtle, and if necessary, change the water or clean the feeder.

3.Observe the health of the turtle: pay attention to the appetite, excretion and activity of the turtle, and seek medical attention in time if there is any abnormality.

4.Avoid stressors: reduce environmental changes, noise, etc. as much as possible to the tortoise, so that they can live in a relatively stable environment.

If these symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek veterinary advice and**.

It may be that the temperature is low, or it may be sick.

Healthy turtles: 1. Have bright eyes. Neither convex nor concave. With a light touch of your hand, your eyes will immediately close and then open again. Reacts to light, moving objects, etc.

2. There are no foreign bodies or mucus in the nostrils and oral cavity. The tongue is pink and moist.

3. The neck is flexible and contractile, no edema, no flatulence.

4. The limbs are strong, flexible and flexible, and can support the body to crawl.

5. The dorsal armor and abdominal armor are hard, the shield is intact, and there is no damage.

6. Able to hunt and eat on their own.

7. The feces are cylindrical and wrapped with a transparent film.

Once the turtle does not have the above conditions, it must be carefully observed and pay attention to the condition. If possible, it should be sent to the pet hospital for examination,**. If there are no conditions, you can also deal with it yourself.

However, the medicine should pay attention to the correct judgment of the condition and handle it properly. Sick turtles should be isolated and kept separately, and the original feeding container should be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for more than 30 minutes for disinfection and sterilization. Other turtles that are not sick should take precautions and be fed some antibiotics.

Keep the turtle house clean and do not feed spoiled food.

Supplement: Common problems of not eating: Some turtle friends say that turtle eating has a close relationship with the following aspects, environment, temperature, appetite and other conditions, generally speaking, (1) after the turtle arrives at home, the new environment, there must be a process of adaptation, turtle friends do not rush to eat after arriving home, let the turtle turtle first familiarize with the environment.

2) Some turtle friends will ask, why can't you eat for a few days, this depends on the temperature, turtles and turtles have a great appetite when the temperature is about 26 degrees, if you let the temperature of hibernation let the turtle eat is also a big joke, if the turtle turtle is not eating at about 15 degrees, it is a good thing not to wait for the turtle to eat, especially the wild turtle, to follow the physiological laws of the turtle, if you have to let the turtle and turtle eat, it is very simple, it is to heat, a 50 watt heating rod is OK, heated to more than 26 degrees, Below 30 degrees is fine.

3) Some turtle friends ask again, the environment of turtles and turtles is also familiar, and the temperature has also risen, why do they still not eat? That.

1. Don't be hungry. Turtles and tortoises that are not hungry will not eat, and when the tortoise is active and defecated, it will soon be eating. Turtle friends will ask what if they haven't eaten yet?

If the above problems are solved, this is the second reason, that is, other reasons, such as turtle and turtle stomach is not good, there is inflammation and the like, this is the right medicine, generally with oxytetracycline to soak it to reduce inflammation, with horse dinglin to strengthen the stomach, etc.
