Anonymous users2024-02-12The temperature is not enough, so stop eating, probably prepare for hibernation. Proper heating, 25-28 degrees is fine. Don't let the turtle hibernate if it's small, it will die, and the baby turtle is not suitable for hibernation.

Anonymous users2024-02-08Turtles also hibernate for short periods of time, and it's cold-blooded, so you could freeze it.

Anonymous users2024-02-06First, the ambient temperature has not yet reached the temperature at which they are eating. Turtles do not eat for a while 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 wait until the water temperature is above 20 degrees, and most healthy 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. Turtles have reduced resistance and immunity while hibernating, and they still have 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 of the sick pure turtles are sluggish 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 for food will slowly recover.

Anonymous users2024-02-04Raise the temperature: Turtles do not eat at the end of hibernation may be due to the temperature of the surrounding environment not meeting their requirements, although they will end hibernation at 15, but usually do not open their mouths to eat until 20, and the keeper needs to raise the temperature to 20 if they want to feed.
Waiting for adaptation: It is also possible that the turtle has not yet adapted to the environment, and it will take 2-3 days for the turtle to fully acclimatize after waking up from hibernation, and it can wait for them to adapt before feeding.
After the tortoise hibernates, the keeper can let them adapt to the outside environment for 2 days, and when they adapt to the external environment, they can choose some fresh shrimp meat, fish, etc. to feed them. These foods can not only give them more protein and fat, but also facilitate digestion without burdening their stomachs. You can also pair it with some turtle food, which will be more effective.
After they wake up from hibernation for about 2 weeks, they can be fed according to their normal feeding methods.
The first reason why turtles don't eat is that the temperature is low. In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the appetite of the turtle decreases, and when the temperature is below 20 degrees, it generally does not eat much. Now the autumn equinox has long passed, and it will be cold dew soon, the temperature is dropping in many places, and the turtle friends in the northern region are preparing to let the turtle hibernate, and my turtle has not been fed for more than 20 days, and I am ready to let them hibernate, and the southern region can still be fed for a while. >>>More
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. >>>More
Newly bought turtles and turtles that have just hibernated will be very afraid of life, and they will refuse to eat for a while... Of course, it's okay if the turtle doesn't eat for half a year.,You won't see God.,Don't worry.。。。 As long as you keep it for a while and get familiar with the environment... >>>More
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 tortoise has suddenly stopped eating recently, and the owner should rest the tortoise. During the period of resting turtles, remember to keep the turtle away from strong light, put it in a dark place, and the owner should also control the temperature and keep the water temperature as constant as possible, if the temperature difference is too large, it will be detrimental to the turtle's health. >>>More
