    Just bought back Unfamiliar with the environment It's normal to not eat food for a week But you have to understand how your turtle is raised Habits Raising turtles is not so simple Especially in autumn and winter Turtles are easy to catch colds because of the water temperature Turtles will eat fish Turtles eat meat but not tender Cooked food and food with seasoning Turtles are best fed shrimp meat It is very calcium Taste fishy They also love to eat Eat food in the water The same is true for bowel movements The water level can be added to the edge of the turtle shell.

    As long as the water quality is kept clean (the water quality is best exposed to direct sunlight for more than 1 day, it can prevent turtle white eye disease and water mildew, nail rot, rotten skin disease, etc.) and the water temperature is constant (keeping the water temperature good can prevent turtles from getting colds and pneumonia and other diseases) These two points are mastered well, and the turtle is not easy to get sick.

    If you don't have a filter at home, it's best to change the water once a day, and feed it once a day, don't feed too much, the turtle doesn't feel full, and the vitamin will not digest well, causing swollen legs. The amount of food a turtle eats is determined by the size of each turtle's head. Turtles defecate after eating, so it is easy to get rid of the meat tank if it is not cleaned in time.

    The water is clean, and the turtle is easy to stay in the water, and the turtle can't be in the deep water of the fish All the time because the turtle is not like the fish to breathe all the time in the water As long as there is no lack of oxygen in the water, you don't need to breathe on the surface of the water But the turtle can't It is to breathe on the surface of the water from time to time Not tender to stay in the deep water for a long time Unless you have a pig-nosed turtle Long-necked turtle Pure water turtle Brazilian turtle and grass turtle Pearl turtle, which we often raise, Although it belongs to the water turtle class, it does not completely belong to the pure water turtle It is to bask in the sun and go ashore to rest, bask on the back, and breathe.

    Newly arrived turtles will not eat because they are not adapted to the environment.

    To feed it, put it in a tank of shallow water, throw the food away, and go away, and after 30 minutes, go back to see if it has eaten

    Usually give them a basking in the sun, it helps to start eating, give it half of the sunny place and half of the shade, and there should be water and land in the tank of the turtle, don't bask for too long, 20 to 40 minutes is enough.

    Don't feed turtle food, that stuff is not nutritious.

    The baby turtle should remove the shrimp shell and cut it into small pieces to feed the shrimp meat.

    If you feed the fish, feed the freshwater fish.

    Turtles can become edematous if they eat something salty.

    So everything cooked and salty can't be fed!

    And don't overfeed every meal.

    Turtles can be swollen if they eat too much

    Baby turtles are fed once a day, and large turtles are fed once every 2 days.

    Feeding it a large portion of food the size of its head is enough at a time.

    When I feed my baby turtles, I put them in a separate basin with water so that the water can go up to the turtle's back.

    At this time, the water in the original tank is replaced.

    When it finishes eating, it will be put back in the tank, so as to ensure the water quality, but sometimes it will not pull after 30 minutes, I will put it back in the tank, don't give it too long to soak in dirty water.

    Do not use tap water directly for turtle raising

    Tap water must be dried for 2 days before it can be used directly with cool boiled water.

    The most common wounds and ulcers caused by water turtles are poor water quality, and then they will invade and spread to the body, even if the effect of medicine is not good. Therefore, the most effective thing is to keep the environment clean and clean, change the water frequently, or use the drip method, but it is more wasteful of water. If the bacteria attach to the surface of the body, you will smell a bad smell and feel slippery, which is a warning sign.

    1.Bacterial or fungal infections can be treated with medicated baths**.

    2.If the water temperature is too low or too high, resulting in a decrease in resistance and injury, adjust the water temperature to the appropriate range.

    3.If the water quality is not good, it is too dirty! Be diligent and change the water cleanly.

    4.If you are bitten or injured, you can treat the wound with betadine or anti-inflammatory ointments.

    Unfamiliarity with the environment 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.

    There are generally two situations when turtles do not eat food, one is that they are too sleepy, and the hot weather will cause the turtle to be weak and lose its appetite. The second is that the turtle is sick, and at this time, you have to go to the pet hospital for a check-up.

    1.This is a mistake that many novice owners make in breeding. Do not enter the water on a daily basis or the water level is very shallow. Only a few semi-water turtles and tortoises can feed on land, so the lack of water level is not because the turtles themselves don't want to eat, but because they can't eat.

    2.This is also a misunderstanding of many novice masters. In fact, for turtles, water temperature is also crucial.

    Because turtles and turtles do not have a fixed amount of food, they are all based on changes in temperature and physical condition, which is the physiological characteristic of all turtles. Therefore, the water temperature is not up to the feeding standard, and they will not eat even if they starve to death.

    3.If you've successfully avoided all of the above pitfalls, it's time to move on. We can simulate the wild life environment of turtles, and put some live fish, aquatic plants, stones, etc. in the tank.

    4.We should also be careful about the food we feed, and do not feed them cooked food or ham sausages and other foods that we eat. You can feed some foods with a strong smell of meat.

    For example, fish, lean pork, snail meat, etc., wrap a thread in front of the turtle's nose to attract it to eat. Be careful not to use a metal camera, which may puncture the turtle's mouth.

    5.You can also choose a turtle with a strong appetite and eat a lot as a neighbor, and use the animal's imitation ability to gobble up your turtle.

    Dear will be happy to answer for you. Feeding is an important factor when breeding newly purchased baby Brazilian tortoises. In the beginning, baby Brazilian tortoises have not yet adapted to their new environment, and it is normal for them to not eat at this time.

    In general, it takes 3-5 days for baby Brazilian tortoises to acclimatize to their surroundings. If they are not eating at this time, it may be that the food is not to their liking, so you can choose the animal feed that interests them the most, or special turtle feed. It is also possible that the environment is too bright for them to eat, because they will feel insecure at this time, and they can adjust according to the specific situation.

    I hope the above is helpful to you If you are satisfied with me, please give me a thumbs up

    The turtle has just been bought, and if it does not eat, the turtle will affect its health if it does not eat, and it can grow. The turtle has just been bought, and the ambient temperature may be relatively low now, and the turtle is generally below 25 degrees Celsius when the temperature is low. The appetite will be greatly reduced, even without appetite under normal circumstances, after the turtle hibernates after sleeping.

    To analyze whether the turtle should eat according to the temperature? If the temperature is revealed in every detail, the attack is generally normal, and the result is that the temperature is worse than 35 degrees Celsius. It's not normal for things that are caused by low temperatures.

    I went with the flow of temperatures, and it was natural for me to eat.

    There is also the incorrect method of feeding the food, causing the turtle not to eat, giving the turtle the turtle to eat, the food he does not want to eat or the unknown turtle that places the food is inconvenient to eat, and the unfamiliar is the environment is not familiar, causing the turtle not to eat and not eating, and it will be uneasy to come back and come back. In this case, the tortoise will not eat until it passes through Shenzhen, and some tortoises with poor acceptance of the new environment will not even take a week or two to bear fruit for all this kind of reason. Like a tortoise.

    It is to provide safety and comfort for the turtle as much as possible. The environment is checked for interference as much as possible, so that the turtle can adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.

    If you buy a turtle and don't eat it, you can leave it alone, because the turtle can go without eating for a long time, but if it lasts for a long time. You can ask. Meat to see if you eat offal or something?

    Turtles. Temperatures are high in summer. The turtle has a fast metabolism and can be fed once a day, but it is generally recommended to go back every other day, because the turtle does not need me too often.

    If you are very busy, there is no problem with the electromechanical level and timely, we are very difficult children, I even ask you to travel as long as you ensure that it is sufficient, and the water ** They don't eat for half a month It's no problem, it's a little aggrieved. My autumn turtle doesn't eat. Because in the wild, they may have to give their food in advance, so they are born to eat a lot at a time, and they don't have any food for us.

    So my taste is very big, so don't give in. Don't feed so much at once.
