    No, the turtle just entered your house and can't eat, it's best not to feed it with meat, it's easy to get white-eye, it's very dangerous, so you can feed it with dried bread worms or live, and the feed should be put in front of his eyes or get to the bottom of the water, he will eat it, don't feed it with pork, white-eye is difficult to treat, you can take a look at the precautions.

    Excuse me, it. Is it a water turtle? Still is. What about tortoises?

    Terrapids (they basically eat meat).

    You can feed it small fish, small shrimp, screws, raw meat (preferably not in a fatty area).

    Tortoises (they are basically vegetarians)...

    You can feed it greens cabbage ...Green vegetables are not only like celery, coriander, etc., which have a medicinal taste).

    ps: My little tortoise still eats apple peels, carrot skins, and grapes (the skin should be peeled off) I wish your little tortoises and tortoises healthy

    Clean the tank thoroughly, add water until you don't put salt on your back. Buy chloramphenicol eye drops and give the turtle eye drops, and dry for at least 1 hour after the drops, three to five times a day. Turtles that have just been bought or have just changed the environment do not like to eat, some are irritable and some are shrinking and do not move, and it will be good to get used to it.

    1. The temperature is not high enough: turtles and turtles will only eat when they are about 20 above zero, but they will occasionally have the desire to eat when they are about 17, don't feed them, otherwise they will cause indigestion.

    2. The turtle may have gastroenteritis: if the turtle has not eaten, it needs to be soaked in glucose and some vitamins to replenish his energy and cooperate with the drug**.

    3. The water depth is not enough: in addition to tortoises, whether it is a water turtle or a semi-water turtle, turtles like to be in deep water, and it is not like many people say that they are dry or shallow water, which is a misunderstanding of many people, the water should be at least over the back, when the water is too shallow, the turtle would rather starve to death than eat, and the water depth is at least 10 15cm.

    The turtle that I just bought back has changed to a new environment and it is normal not to eat. All you have to do is clean the turtle tank, put a little water in it, and build a sunbath for the turtle, and after three days, he will definitely take the initiative to eat the food himself. Turtles like to eat small live fish and shrimp the most.

    If you can't buy these things, you can buy him fresh beef, chicken, and you can.

    It's okay to eat it when you're hungry, turtles can go without eating for many days, or you see if you bought the wrong feed, otherwise you don't have to worry, you will eat it when you're hungry.

    It's normal that you just bought it, and after a long time they get acquainted with the new environment, and it doesn't affect them if the turtle doesn't eat for a long time. Put some water in the fish tank, about the depth of which can expose the turtle's shell to the water, you can occasionally put a little more water to let them soak in the water, but not too long, you can also often let them out to climb, but you have to look good, don't let them do other things, because turtles like to climb to the corner, and crawling to the corner will not come out like hibernation, if you are not careful, it will be difficult to find them, a few days will be, too dry for a long time is not good for the turtle. Don't be too anxious to feed them, when the turtle is small, buy some fish food similar to earthworms or special turtle food, or chop the meat, sprinkle less on the water, don't wait for it to eat, it will eat when it is hungry, the more you look at it, it will not eat.

    When you get older, you can buy some small wild fish and throw them in, so that they can catch and eat by themselves, and when you put them in the big ones, they will bite and eat.

    The habits of the same species of turtles are also different, some turtles will eat without worrying when they get used to it, and some turtles will not eat in front of you for a year, you can put it under the sun to crawl, bask in the sun more, you can supplement it with vitamin D and sunbathe more when the shell is soft.

    Hope it helps.

    Separate raising, in this case you should go to the pharmacy to sell glucose in a tank in Brazil (separate raising) to increase the water temperature (preferably with a heating tube) (not the one that makes water) (the one for fish) warm water is good, try it, and then go to the pearl turtle bar to see the turtle disease ** and health examination (remember in the bar rules (or navigation)) It's really not okay to post in the bar, or go to the veterinary hospital (don't be reluctant to pay, to empathize).

    First of all, you have to know what breed of turtle you are, the water turtle? Tortoises? If you don't know what breed it is, it's like feeding vegetables to a lion and meat to a rabbit.

    Excluding the breed problem, the turtle does not eat is also related to the temperature and environment, now the weather is still freezing, do not rush to feed, and so the weather is really warm, the outdoor temperature is above 18 degrees, and the turtle is familiar with the new environment will start eating, it is recommended that you go to the major forums to learn about it.

    Turtles generally do not eat in the following situations:

    First, the food is not appetizing, most turtles are omnivorous, and can be fed turtle food, fish and shrimp, loaches, lean meat, beef, and bread worms.

    Some also eat water, electricity and vegetables. For example, the pig nose is very partial to cherry tomatoes.

    Second, if the temperature is not reached, the turtle will only open its mouth to feed above 20 degrees, and the most suitable growth temperature is 25-28 degrees. Below 20 degrees Celsius shows loss of appetite, below 15 degrees enter light hibernation, and below 10 degrees hibernate hibernation.

    Thirdly, the newly bought turtle often shows the phenomenon of refusing to eat, which is normal, because the turtle only needs to rest for a period of time to adapt to the new environment.

    Fourth, if you are sick, you may not eat. Careful observation for symptoms is required.

    In addition, it is okay for a turtle not to eat for a few months, but make sure that it can drink water.

    2. The owner does not understand the habits of the turtle, and the food fed does not conform to the eating habits of the turtle, resulting in the turtle not eating food;

    3. The surrounding temperature is lower than the temperature requirement of the turtle's normal life, and the turtle enters a dormant state;

    4. The turtle suffers from illness and is unwell, so it refuses to eat.

    Which species of turtle did you buy? Brazilian tortoises and snapping tortoises are carnivorous, grass tortoises and tortoises eat vegetables and fruits, if you are a carnivore, you put the meat in the water, the tortoise likes to eat in the water when eating, and it is better to cut the meat to fit its body shape.

    Because the turtle is hibernating, but pay attention to the following:

    1. Don't let it sleep at 0 degrees.

    2And put more sand in its nest, and cover it with newspaper.

    3Don't wake it up

    4 Before it hibernates (7 August), let it eat well, not hungry Oh Don't worry, my turtle has a period of time and doesn't eat anything (no hibernation), after two years, it lives very well, because it doesn't eat, so put it in the water My turtle also floated... But by the summer of the third year, it would have been fine.

    My turtle also sleeps when it's not eating.

    Look at the place where your turtle's two paws and neck are connected to see if there is any red bruising, and if so, it is best to take him to treat it quickly!!

    If not, don't worry. The turtle doesn't eat anything.

    Turtles can survive even if they don't eat for a long time.

    You don't have to worry too much.

    Take good care of it.

Parents do not need to be too nervous about their children's speech, first of all, they should adjust the environment to avoid their children from coming into contact with people who stutter, and parents or family members should be able to accept and accommodate their children's "stuttering" and eliminate interference and restrictions on their speech. At the same time, when talking to your child, you should look at the same level, speak at a slow pace (but not too slowly), use short sentences on the same topic when talking to your child. In particular, in the process of supplementing and modifying children's language, if the use method is not appropriate, children will have negative emotions towards communication, which will produce mental burden on speech, so that they will become more and more silent and do not like to talk. >>>More
