How long do turtles live without eating?

Turtles can live for 3-5 months without eating or drinking. Turtles can live for about 3-5 months without eating or drinking, of course, turtles of different sizes have different levels of hunger, and smaller turtles may not live for so long.

The reason why these animals are hungry is because they have a low metabolism, and as ectotherms, turtles have turtle shells on their bodies, mostly meat, and can store excess nutrients and energy.

Even if the owner does not feed the food regularly, it can survive for a long time.

But if you want the turtle to grow well, you still need the owner to pay attention to nutritionally balanced feeding.

It depends on the size and fitness of the turtle.

Turtles are larger, store more calories and fat, and naturally starve longer than ordinary baby turtles when they don't eat or move, and they can even go without eating for months when hibernating; Secondly, if the turtle itself is sick or not, and the influence of the disease, the turtle will die of the disease not long before it does not eat.

However, even if most turtles are not hibernating, they can starve for months without suffering from disease and will not die, after all, turtles have a strong endurance.

What to do if the turtle doesn't eat.

1. If it is caused by a disease, first of all, we must determine what disease it has, and then according to the symptoms, and the appetite will naturally recover after being cured.

2. If the lack of sunlight leads to not eating, feed the turtle a full-price feed that is preferred and nutritious, add calcium tablets to the feed and enhance the sunshine hours, irradiate sunlight 2 to 3 times a day, and the baby turtle will slowly resume eating.

3. Adjust the water depth according to the size and species of turtle, for example: grass turtle.

Flower turtles themselves live in lakes and rivers, even if the water level is 3-4m, it is not in the way, turtles can breathe with lungs in the water, but generally ensure that the water depth of turtles is at least 10-15cm.

4. Don't feed food when the temperature is lower than 15, the turtle won't eat. Normal phenomena can be left untreated, but attention should be paid to insulation, such as covering straw around the pool and in the open space between the pool and the fence. If the temperature is too high, you can put the turtle indoors for maintenance, or take some shade measures, do not expose the turtle to the sun for a long time, and gradually the turtle will resume eating.

Common turtles do not eat, they can live for about 3-5 months, and some may live for three years (depending on the species). If he is in a state of hibernation, he can last for half a year without eating or drinking, and it will be especially dangerous if it is long term.

Turtles can live for 3-5 months without eating, and the owners who are too lazy to feed often can plant some plants in the tank, turtles eat miscellaneous food, and will eat algae without food. However, it should be noted that turtles cannot be raised for a long time without changing the water, otherwise the turtles will have died of water pollution before starving to death.

Turtles can also survive for 3-5 months without eating. The hibernation period of tortoises is generally from November to April, during which time tortoises do not need to feed at all, which shows that they are indeed very resistant to hunger.

Turtles have a wide range of diets, fish and shrimp, snails, insects and algae can become their feed, the owner planted duckweed, goldfish algae and other algae in the container, three or five months do not feed, the turtle will not die because of lack of food.

Some people find that their turtles die after less than a month without feeding, often due to poor water quality. It should be noted that the owner can go months without feeding, but not for such a long time without changing the water.

In the cold autumn and winter, turtles will have a poor appetite and even refuse to eat, and they are very hungry at this time. In the summer when the temperature is warmer, and in the spring when the turtle wakes up after hibernation, the appetite is unusually high, so it should be fed on time.

<> baby turtles can live for about 3-5 months without eating. Although this animal is very hungry tolerant, it cannot be completely unfed. Usually young turtles should be fed once a day, if they are adults, they can be fed once every two days, too much feeding may make the turtle become too obese and not good for its health.

In addition, food must pay attention to the combination, both meat and vegetarian, so as to ensure a balance of nutrition.

Turtles can live for 3 to 5 months without eating, small turtles can generally go without food for 3 months, and large turtles can go without food for 5 months. When raising turtles on a daily basis, it is necessary to adjust the feeding amount according to the temperature change, and when the temperature rises, you can feed in large quantities, and the water temperature is low and the feeding amount needs to be reduced. When the temperature is higher than 24, it can be fed 1 or 2 times a week, and when the temperature is lower than 20, it can be fed once a week.

Turtles can live for 3 to 5 months without food. Turtles generally enter the hibernation period in November and April, and store a lot of calories and fat inside, during which they do not need to eat, and have a strong hunger tolerance. In addition, smaller tortoises can generally go 3 months without eating, and larger turtles can go 5 months without eating.

When feeding the turtle daily, it is necessary to adjust the feeding amount according to the change of temperature, when the temperature rises, the turtle's appetite will rise, and the metabolism speed is also called fast, so the feeding amount can be increased. If the water temperature is low, the turtle's appetite will decrease, so the amount of food can be reduced appropriately.

When the room temperature is higher than 24, the breeder can feed 1 2 times, and when the temperature is 20 24, feed every 2 days. When the room temperature is below 20, the turtle's appetite will be greatly reduced, and it is sufficient to feed it once a week. You can choose to feed turtle food as a staple food, with meat, vegetables and fruits.

After each feeding, the food residue at the bottom of the tank should be cleaned up in time.

Turtles belong to the reptiles of the animal kingdom, and there are many wild turtles in Hainan Island, and there are more than 150 kinds of turtles, including money turtles, grass turtles, flat-chested turtles, Hainan closed-shell turtles, ground turtles, spotted turtles, green turtles, mountain turtles, etc., accounting for more than 50 percent of the turtles in the country.

The folk are known as the millennium tortoise and the turtle for ten thousand years, which shows that the life span of the turtle is long, and ancient people often use the "turtle age" as a metaphor for high life. Guo Pu, a Jin person, has a poem that says: "Borrowing a mayfly generation, I would rather know the year of the turtle and crane."

Turtles can live from a few hundred to more than 1,000 years. "Historical Records" records that there was an old man in the south who used a turtle to pad the foot of the bed, and a cushion was 20 years, and after the old man died, people moved the bed away, and the turtle could still crawl. In 1984, a giant turtle was exhibited in Nanyang, Henan Province, with a turtle age of more than 1,000 years old, which can be described as "the longevity star of the turtle", and I am afraid that such a long-lived animal can no longer be found in the world.

More than 200 million years ago, they were found on the earth, and with the continuous evolution of nature, there are very few reptiles left in the world, and there are still many turtles.

Turtles can live long because they have a hard carapace, and in the cold or hot season, they can enter "hibernation" and "summer hibernation", so that the metabolism is very slow, the energy consumption is very small, and its ability to withstand hunger, thirst, and hypoxia is particularly strong. The weather of Hainan Island is mild, and the wild food is abundant, which is very suitable for the breeding of turtles, and turtles grow in the mountains, streams, rivers and ravines, coastal marshes, and deep mountains and dense forests in various parts of Hainan.
