SOS My newly raised baby turtle doesn t eat or drink, and sleeps all day, what s going on?

First of all, you need to figure out what kind of turtle it is, right? The most common is the Brazilian tortoise. If it's a Brazilian tortoise, it's an amphibian tortoise, it can stay underwater, and it's not that it can't stay in the water when it climbs out.

If your turtle eats when it arrives at home, it is actually a good thing, indicating that it does not recognize life, but then does not eat, if it is not a sudden drop in temperature, down to below 20 degrees, then it should be sick. I think what you're talking about is a bit like a precursor to white eye disease.

It should be quite small, and it is best not to let it hibernate in the first winter, buy an electric heating pipe for fish farming, and put it in the water to warm it.

The water quality must be paid attention to, and the tap water should not be used directly, and the tap water should be left for two days before use.

It's best to buy a bottle of chloramphenicol eye drops and give it drops when it opens its eyes, three or four times a day. If you don't open it, peel your eyes open and drop it again. Although it is not necessarily white eye disease, it doesn't matter if this one is dropped, prevent it.

If you're in the north, it's probably going to hibernate.

Hibernation??? It's also possible that it's sick, because I can't see it, so I don't know, if you really like it, you should take it to the vet (maybe it's more expensive than a turtle), but that's how you like it. Although I can't help you, but I also raised it, and died...

I don't want you to die ...

Use a small bowl to put some cold boiled water (preferably clean river water) The water depth can not be taken to the sun to give it sunbathing, do not dry it in a dark place, feed some river shrimp (peel and feed meat) Jingchai meat will be good slowly, and it will hibernate after 1 month.

I also have one. There is no such problem as yours, and it is recommended that you take him to the veterinarian. Check it out. It's a pity if you don't die!

I'm wondering, is it hibernation? Hibernation doesn't seem to eat or anything.

Well, it is still advisable to go to the veterinarian. The sooner the better.

Sleeping is a normal habit and preference of turtles.

Reasons for not eating and **:

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. For this kind of turtle that does not eat due to the incorrect feeding method, as long as the turtle is fed food according to the correct feeding method, it will eat.

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's the turtle that doesn't eat because it's sick. Some diseases such as white eye disease, pneumonia.

Gastrointestinal diseases, etc., will make the turtle lose its appetite, anorexia and refusal to eat. In this case, the turtle will only eat after the symptomatic ** disease.

There are two possibilities, one is because it is winter, it is normal for the baby turtle not to eat, and it has a little bit of a state of hibernation. You can raise the temperature moderately to wake him up from hibernation. The other is because he has just arrived in a new environment and he is not used to it, so you can let him sit for a few days.

If this is the case, it is likely that the newly bought baby turtle has just arrived in a new environment, so it is not adaptable, so it loves to sleep and does not eat. Then in a few days, he will eat when he is hungry.

What should I do if I love to sleep and don't like to eat? It's cold now. It has entered the tortoise's hibernation zone, and it may be about to hibernate.

Is it too cold in your house? When the temperature is low, it will not eat.

There are several reasons why baby turtles always sleep and don't eat:

1.Temperature issues: Baby turtles are cold-blooded animals, and their metabolism and activities are affected by the ambient temperature.

If the water temperature is too low or too high, the small Doupao Mountain turtle may go into a dormant state, reducing appetite and activity. Make sure the water temperature is right, generally between 20-30 degrees Celsius.

2.Disease Problems: Baby turtles may suffer from certain diseases such as digestive problems, respiratory infections, etc., which causes loss of appetite and increased sleep. If other abnormal symptoms are observed, such as difficulty breathing, swollen abdomen, etc., it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.

3.Environmental problems: There may be problems with the environment in which baby turtles are kept, such as unclean water and lack of light. Ensure that the water in the air is clean, and that proper light and UVB light are provided to help the baby turtle to move normally and appetite.

4.Adaptation issues: Baby turtles may be in the stage of adaptation to their new environment, at which point they may have less appetite and activity and more time for rest and adaptation. Give enough time and a quiet environment to help the baby turtle adjust to its new environment.

There may be several reasons why baby turtles always sleep and don't eat

1.Temperature issues, especially in winter, can cause baby turtles to go dormant if the water temperature is too low, reducing appetite and activity. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the water temperature is suitable, generally between 20-30 degrees Celsius.

2.Disease problems, especially digestive problems, respiratory infections, etc., can cause the baby turtle to lose its appetite and become drowsy. If you observe other abnormal symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swollen abdomen, etc., it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.

3.Environmental problems, especially unclean water and lack of light, can affect the normal activities and appetite of baby turtles. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the water is clean and that proper light and UVB illumination are provided.

4.Acclimatization periods, which may be required if baby turtles are just entering a new environment. During this time, they may have less appetite and hail activity and more time for rest and adaptation.

5.Mollosis is a disease of nutritional metabolism that is mainly caused by prolonged malnutrition or lack of sun exposure. Symptoms include loss of appetite and frequent sleep. **Ways to do this include providing nutritious foods first or increasing the number of hours of sunlight.

If the baby turtle is persistently lethargic and does not eat, it is advisable to seek the help of a professional veterinarian to determine the specific cause and take appropriate ** measures.
