Just bought a turtle unfamiliar environment shy suggests that you do this, from time to time to pay attention, it can be raised to avoid holes for a long time, it blatantly out of conditions permitting, it can also be floating islands basking (the sun increases calcium mass absorption) the first 3 months is my turtle opened the way, turn on the temperature of the water to adjust to 26-28 to feed the fish, too lazy to feed the shrimp dried turtle food to eat heating rods (light).

There are many reasons why grass turtles may not eat. First of all, the grass turtle is a relatively timid animal, and suddenly entering an unfamiliar environment may cause it to not eat. At this point, you can wait for it to become accustomed to the environment before feeding.

If the newly bought grass turtle is too young, it may not take the initiative to eat. In addition, if the ambient temperature is too low, it will cause it to fall into a dormant state and not eat. Finally, if a grass turtle has a disease, it can also affect its appetite and even not eat.

Treatment method 1 water temperature: The water temperature is too low to reach the temperature at which the grass turtle feeds, which will not only make the grass turtle feel uncomfortable, but also make them eat less. At this time, you can increase the water temperature appropriately and keep it at about 23.

2. Environment: Grass turtles are generally unable to feed on land. If the food is not placed in the right place, the water level is shallow, or it is placed directly on land, the grass turtle will not be able to eat. At this point, the feeding position should be changed and the food should be placed in the water.

3. Food: Some foods are not suitable for the appetite of grass turtles, so you should feed some fresh foods such as small fish and shrimp instead.

4. The age of the turtle is too low: At this time, keep the environment quiet, and feed it every day, and wait for it to take the initiative to speak.

5. Physical factors: Sometimes grass turtles will be unable to eat or eat less due to eye diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. At this point, it should be done for the condition** so that it can be restored to health as soon as possible.

It is not normal for a newly bought grass turtle to not eat for a month, because the grass turtle still has a relatively strong ability to adapt to the environment, even if it is transferred to the new environment, it only takes about half a month at most to adapt, and then open its mouth to eat.

If the grass turtle has not eaten for a month, it may be because the surrounding environment is not suitable for them, or it may be because the former defeat balance is sick. Breeders need to adjust to the environment or disease according to their performance.

1. Maintain the environment: After the newly bought grass turtle enters the new environment, the keeper can increase the water temperature appropriately, preferably at about 28. This increases the rate of their metabolism and also increases the chances that they will open their mouths.

It is best not to change the water until they have adapted to their new environment, but they need to clean up the garbage from the water.

2. Choose the right food: When feeding them, the breeder can choose fish or shrimp meat, so that it will be easier for them to speak. If they don't open their mouths, they can also use a fishing line to make food and shake it in front of them, which can also encourage the grass turtles to open their mouths.

Turtles generally need to feed in water, so it is recommended to feed them after adding water.

The turtle has changed to a new environment, and it may be a little uncomfortable after a while, and it will gradually become familiar with the food.

If the turtle he bought doesn't eat for a month, he won't die if the turtle he bought doesn't eat for a month, and the turtle's words are like this, if the turtle doesn't die, he can't die in one hit, he hibernated at that time, isn't it?
