In the process of breeding the small snapping turtle, it may appear that they do not like to eat. At this time, it is necessary to first determine the reason. Specifically, it can be divided into the following situations:
1. The water temperature is too low: The water temperature has a greater impact on the appetite of the small snapping turtles. Only in the right water temperature conditions, small snapping turtles will eat. If the water temperature is too low, it will seriously affect their appetite, at this time they do not eat.
2. Poor water quality: Water quality is also one of the factors affecting the appetite of the snapping turtle. If the water is not changed for a long time and the water quality is too dirty, the small snapping turtle will not eat.
3, sick: There is a situation, that is, the small snapping turtle sick. The two most likely diseases are gastroenteritis and pneumonia, which can be judged by symptoms.
1, adjust the water temperature: If the water temperature is too low, you can properly raise the water temperature. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to keep it above 20 degrees, and their appetite is relatively strong under such water temperature conditions.
2. Change the water regularly: If the water quality is too poor, you need to change the water or use a filter to purify the water quality. In the process of later cultivation, water needs to be changed regularly, or a filter is placed in the container, so that the interval of water change can be longer.
3. Treat the disease: If the illness causes the small crocodile turtle not to eat, then we must judge the specific disease in time, and then treat it in time. In addition to timely medication, there are still some problems that need attention. For example, don't let the water temperature be too low, or small snapping turtles are prone to pneumonia or colds. If they are fed indigestible food, they are prone to gastroenteritis.
