    What a coincidence that we also have two Brazilian tortoises at home! Just to exchange experience, in fact, due to the discovery of modern industry, the temperature will be abnormal, so that people feel the advent of spring and the turtle hibernation is a long-term evolution, according to the previous way of life, so don't worry, I have been a week for both of them, and the amount of food has not doubled from the original to double, maybe due to the different varieties, you are also fast! This is the recovery period, at the same time, during this time, try to use a transparent glass plate to fill the water (not a mineral spring, not purification, is tap water) and try to put it on the windowsill where the sun shines the most, the moonlight at night is the same, the turtle is transparent and bright, and this is also its best life and environment, remember that the water should pass through the back shell, and at the same time on the edge of the plate when the turtle is on the ground, the head is slightly tilted to get out of the water, the disk ** ensures that the turtle floats, and at the same time pays attention to the kind of turtle species, Try to adjust the environment equal to its climatic zone, remember to play with a degree, only five minutes a day, otherwise the consequences are very serious, recently disinfectants have been added before, but now it is becoming more and more non-standardized, may be harmful, some senior turtle farmers have planted heels, I dare not try now anyway, now such a good environment has a very low probability of disease, if you are sure to appear, go directly to the veterinarian, these conditions and measures add up, the turtle can not eat, I hope it will help you! ^_

    The change in temperature is likely to cause the turtle not to eat, and some gastrointestinal diseases will also cause the turtle not to eat, so it is recommended to add antiviral drugs to the turtle's water and frequently disinfect the turtle's breeding place.

    1. The turtle that has just woken up is sluggish, resulting in not eating.

    The tortoise has just woken up and has a dull sense of taste, silly, at this time you can take something to quickly replenish fat, fat, lean meat, cut into small pieces, shake in front of their eyes, and soon the tortoise will slowly eat. After that, all you have to do is chop the meat or something, chop it into small pieces, and throw it into the water, just like before.

    2. Put the turtle in warm water.

    Turtle feeding is largely dependent on the temperature of the water. To control the temperature of the water, you only need to be hotter than the cool water, and the best way is to put the turtle in the sun-dried water.

    3. Raise turtles that don't eat with turtles that have a strong appetite.

    Animals have imitative behavior, and if the turtle refuses to eat, it may be driven by other turtles to eat. The tortoise hibernation consumes all the calories it used to have, and once it is used up, it will die, because the tortoise that does not eat after the deadline must find a way to make it eat.

    Turtle hibernation after the awakening of nutrition supplement in the turtle into hibernation 1-2 months before the turtle into hibernation, the owner will concentrate on supplementing its nutrition, in preparation for its hibernation period can not eat physical exertion, even if the turtle's physical consumption during this period has been minimal, but after all, the time is relatively long, the turtle will inevitably become thinner, from the hibernation of the turtle, the first thing the owner thinks of must be supplemental nutrition, but in fact, the supplement nutrition must not be in a hurry, pay attention to step by step, to avoid damage to the turtle's digestive system.

    The tortoise hibernate and does not die without eating, because its body can store sufficient nutrients, and the large tortoise will not starve to death after 5 months of eating. However, before the tortoise hibernates, they need to be fed protein-rich meat, vegetables and fruits to accumulate fat for the winter. Half a month before hibernation, it needs to be soaked in warm water to expel impurities produced in the body.

    The tortoise hibernates and does not die without eating, the tortoise's appetite will be significantly weakened in the low temperature environment of winter, and its body can store a sufficient amount of fat. In general, large turtles will not starve to death if they do not eat for 5 months, and small turtles will not starve to death if they do not eat for 2 months.

    However, in order to prevent the turtle from dying during hibernation, it is still necessary for the keeper to stock up on enough fat for the turtle to overwinter after the temperature drops in autumn. After autumn, you need to increase the amount of feeding every day, feed more protein-rich meat, with carrots, vegetables and other foods, so that the turtle can survive the winter smoothly.

    And half a month before hibernation, you need to stop feeding, soak the turtle in warm water, so that it can discharge the impurities produced in the body, avoid food fermentation in the intestines, so that it suddenly dies during hibernation. It should also be placed in water during hibernation to stabilize the water temperature below 15.

    There are 2 possibilities for turtles to skip food after hibernation.

    First, the ambient temperature has not yet reached the temperature at which they are eating. Turtles do not eat for a period of time after hibernation. The main reason is the temperature!

    Generally, turtles enter hibernation at about 15 degrees, and when the air and water temperatures are higher than 15 degrees, turtles will go out of hibernation to eat. However, the best feeding temperature for turtles is above 20 degrees. As a result, turtles rarely or do not eat at 15-20 degrees Celsius.

    So when the water temperature is above 20 degrees, most of the unhealthy turtles will naturally eat. So in this case, the owner doesn't have to worry.

    The second scenario is when the turtle becomes ill during hibernation. The resistance and immunity of the stool laughing turtle decreases during hibernation, and there is no energy intake. So the chance of getting sick is greatly increased.

    This is also the reason why large turtles are rarely seen in the wild) Most sick turtles are depressed and lose their appetite. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as floating. As for what the disease is, it is up to the owner to observe and understand.

    After the diagnosis of the disease, the right medicine is prescribed to restore the turtle's health, and the appetite will slowly return.

    Increase the water temperature: The turtle does not eat after hibernation, which may be caused by the temperature being too low, and the keeper needs to turn on the heating device to keep the temperature at around 20. When the turtle is at a comfortable temperature, its appetite will increase, and the chance of eating through its mouth will be greater.

    Check your body: If your turtle doesn't eat for a long time after hibernation, it may be because you're sick while hibernating. Breeders need to check their bodies first, and then observe their performance to judge**, and in time**.

    1. Provide food: Before the turtles go into hibernation, the keeper needs to feed them enough food so that they can store a lot of energy so that they can survive the winter safely. However, two weeks before they hibernate they need to stop feeding.

    2. Soak in water: Two weeks before the turtles enter hibernation, the keeper can soak them in warm water for several cherry blossoms, so that the food in their bodies is bright and clean, so that entering hibernation will not affect their health.

    3. Lower the water level: When you are ready, you can lower the water level below the dorsal carapace to expose the turtle's nose, so that it can go into hibernation.
