    There can be several reasons why baby turtles are active but don't eat, and here are a few possible scenarios:

    1.Changes in environment: The baby turtle is accustomed to its original living environment, and moving to a new environment may cause it to be uncomfortable. At this time, you may experience a loss of appetite and it will take some time to adjust to the new environment.

    2.Effect of temperature: Baby turtles digest and absorb food differently at different temperatures. It is possible that the ambient temperature is too low or too high, causing it to have a bad appetite.

    3.Illness or infection: If a baby turtle is infected with diseases, parasites, etc., it will lose appetite or skip meals, and may even have symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting.

    4.Food choice: Baby turtles have different food needs during different growth periods and living environments. If the food served is not suitable for its taste or is not nutritious enough, skipping meals will occur.

    If the baby turtle has been showing loss of appetite, it is necessary to understand the cause in time and take appropriate measures to solve the problem, such as adjusting its living environment and changing the food suitable for it. If the situation is severe, it is best to seek the help of a professional veterinarian.

    According to the current climate, if your GG is not newly bought, you should be sick.

    Turtles not eating will affect their health and growth, the main reasons for turtles not eating and the corresponding treatment methods are introduced as follows, for the reference of turtle friends:

    First, the temperature is low.

    In general, when the temperature is below 25 degrees, the turtle's appetite will be reduced to a large extent, or even no appetite. Therefore, under normal circumstances, after the turtle wakes up from hibernation, it is necessary to analyze whether the turtle should eat according to the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), it is generally normal for the turtle not to eat; If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees for a long time (more than 3 days), the turtle still does not eat, it is not normal.

    For turtles that are caused by low temperatures, the treatment is to go with the flow, and when the temperature rises, the turtles will naturally eat.

    Second, improper feeding.

    It is the incorrect feeding method that causes the turtle not to eat. For example, feeding the turtle food that it does not want to eat, or placing the food in a way that makes it inconvenient for the turtle to eat, etc.

    Third, the ground is not familiar.

    It is the unfamiliarity of the environment that 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.

    Fourth, don't eat when you're sick.

    It's the turtle that doesn't eat because it's sick. Some diseases, such as white eye disease, pneumonia, gastrointestinal diseases, etc., can cause the turtle to lose appetite, anorexia and refusal to eat. In this case, the turtle will only eat after the symptomatic ** disease. Seek adoption.

    1.When the air temperature drops to about 15 degrees Celsius or below, the turtle enters a state of hibernation, at this time the turtle does not eat or move, slowing down the metabolic activity. At this time, you need to prepare a box for the turtle, spread three to five centimeters of sand or fine soil in it, put a small basin of water, maintain humidity, spray water in the box once every five to seven days, and then look forward to waking up next year.

    Remember, never disturb the tortoise while hibernating.

    2.Turtles hibernate when their winter limbs touch the sky, and they do not eat from October to November of the first year to about March of the following calendar. They generally have an increased demand for food in the month leading up to hibernation to support their energy expenditure.

    The owner can add some food to the turtle in September when there is a lot of noise.

    3.When the weather is cold, the turtle does not eat, and it may be preparing to go into hibernation.

    First of all, when the temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius. The turtle will slowly eat less and less, and eventually it will not eat and fall asleep, so it is actually normal for the turtle not to eat when it is cold.

    Secondly, when the weather is cold and the turtle is not eating, it is best for the owner not to feed the turtle and try not to disturb it.

    First, 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.

    In winter, turtles are reluctant to eat, which is a normal phenomenon, mainly because the temperature is low and does not reach the temperature for active feeding. Turtles are ectotherms, and the engine of various organs in the body is temperature, and their activity and digestion are directly related to temperature. When the temperature is high, the turtle is active and has good digestion; When the temperature is low, the turtle is inactive and has weak digestion.

    In terms of eating, turtles love to eat in the summer high temperature season, and they begin to become less like to eat in autumn; When the temperature is low to a certain level, they directly stop eating and enter a state of hibernation.

    As can be seen from the above table, when the ambient temperature is lower than 20, the turtle begins to eat less or stop eating in its natural state. When the temperature is lower than 15, they will stop eating completely and gradually enter a state of hibernation.
