What to do if a Brazilian turtle doesn t eat? What causes it not to eat?

We all know that turtles are not allowed to eat during hibernation, except for hibernation, it is normal to go without food for ten days and a half. But when your turtle is healthy, living in a suitable environment, and not eating during non-hibernation periods, you should pay attention. Let's talk about what to do if a Brazilian turtle doesn't eat.

What causes it not to eat?

One, temperature. The Brazilian turtle will only eat at a room temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, and will not eat if the temperature is too low, and occasionally beg at low temperatures, but the owner should not give it food, which is easy to cause indigestion.

Second, the depth of the water. Turtles and semi-turtles like to forage in the water, and turtles breathe with their lungs, so they prefer deep water and don't have to worry about drowning, at least the water is deeper than their backs. If the water is too shallow, they would rather be hungry than eat.

This point of feeding in the water does not include tortoises.

Third, the environment. Brazil tortoises are very uncomfortable when they suddenly change their environment, so they don't eat, and when they are familiar with everything around them, they do.

4. Gastroenteritis。If all of the above are ruled out, then the health of the turtle should be considered. If the turtle has gastroenteritis, it will not eat either. This condition requires medication**.

1. The water volume is sufficient and the water depth is moderate. Create a good living environment for him. If there is not enough water, or if there is no water, the turtle will not move, become sleepy, and over time will starve to death.

2. Master the feeding time. In summer, the weather is hot, and the turtle is "sleepy" at noon, so it is not very active at noon, so it is recommended to feed in the afternoon in summer. In spring and autumn, soft-shelled turtles are inactive in the morning and evening, so the feeding time is changed to noon.

You should analyze the specific situation, understand the habits of your turtle, and give it the most suitable feeding method.

3. The amount of food fed to the turtle should be the same each timeNot more, not too much. The turtle itself is resistant to hunger, so you don't need to give it a lot. Fix it every time.

4. Make sure the food fed to the turtle is fresh, can be fed ad libitum, and each time the turtle finishes eating its food, the tank is cleaned and the water is changed to ensure that the water is clean. Disinfect regularly to avoid bacterial infection.

If, after doing the last few things, your turtle still doesn't eat, you should go to the hospital and have the doctor check it out to see which part of your body is uncomfortable.

Don't force feed the Brazilian turtle if it doesn't eat, let it rest for a while, it may not eat because the weather is getting cold, or it may be because it is sick.

The turtle will only eat at room temperature of about 20 degrees Celsius, when the temperature is too low, it will not eat, occasionally it will beg for food when the temperature is low, but the owners should not give it food, it is easy to cause indigestion.
