My grass turtle doesn t eat What is the reason why the grass turtle doesn t eat and how to deal with

Reasons why grass turtles don't eat 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., can cause the turtle to lose appetite, anorexia and refusal to eat. In this case, the turtle will only eat after the symptomatic ** disease.

It's winter, hibernating.

Just make sure to drink water.

Grass turtles do not eat, often due to the overall environmental discomfort, disease, or the turtle's young age. Specifically, if it is caused by an unfamiliar environment or a relatively low surrounding temperature, it needs to wait for it to slowly adapt to the environment before feeding. If you are too young to eat, you need to feed it every day, keep it quiet, and wait for it to eat.

If it does not eat because it has a disease, it needs to be done according to its symptoms**.

There are many reasons why grass turtles may not eat. First of all, the grass turtle is a relatively timid animal, and suddenly entering an unfamiliar environment may cause it to not eat. At this point, you can wait for it to become accustomed to the environment before feeding.

If the newly bought grass turtle is too young, it may not take the initiative to eat. In addition, if the ambient temperature is too low, it will cause it to fall into a dormant state and not eat. Finally, if a grass turtle has a disease, it can also affect its appetite and even not eat.

1. Water temperature: The water temperature is too low to reach the temperature at which the grass turtle eats, which will not only make the grass turtle feel uncomfortable, but also make them eat less. At this time, you can increase the water temperature appropriately and keep it at about 23.

2. Environment: Grass turtles are generally unable to feed on land. If the food is not placed in the right place, the water level is shallow, or it is placed directly on land, the grass turtle will not be able to eat. At this point, the feeding position should be changed and the food should be placed in the water.

3. Food: Some foods are not suitable for the appetite of grass turtles, so you should feed some fresh foods such as small fish and shrimp instead.

4. The age of the turtle is too low: At this time, keep the environment quiet, and feed it every day, and wait for it to take the initiative to speak.

5. Physical factors: Sometimes grass turtles will be unable to eat or eat less due to eye diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. At this point, it should be done for the condition** so that it can be restored to health as soon as possible.
