Pig-nosed turtles may not eat because they have not yet adapted to the environment. At this time, without special treatment, adjust the water temperature and water quality, and so on, they will naturally open their mouths to eat. It may also be because the water temperature is too low. At this time, it is necessary to slowly adjust the water temperature to 26-31 C with a heating rod. It may also be because the water quality is too bad. At this point, they need to change the water. The PH of new water should be controlled at about 8, and it should be kept clean and not dirty.
Pig-nosed turtle does not eat feed what reason, how to treat?

1. Not adapting to the environment

1. Reason: It takes a period of time for the pig-nosed turtle to adapt to the new environment when it first changes to the new environment. At this time, they do not eat.

2. Treatment: Adjust the water temperature and quality, and slowly maintain for a period of time. When the pig-nosed turtle finds the environment suitable, it will naturally open its mouth to eat.

2. the water temperature is too low

1. Reason: Pig-nosed turtles like to grow in water of 25-31 ℃. If the temperature of the water used to raise them is very low, their vitality will decrease and their appetite will decrease. If the water temperature is too low, they may not eat.

2. Treatment: At this time, the water temperature should be increased appropriately. It is recommended to install a heating rod in the cylinder and use it to keep the water temperature between 25-31 ℃. When the water temperature returns, they will eat. However, it should be noted that the water temperature should not rise suddenly, but should rise slowly, otherwise the turtle may not be able to adapt to the growth problems.

3. The water quality is too poor

1. Reason: If the water used for breeding is too poor in quality, contains a lot of sundries or is too acidic, they will not eat it.

2. Treatment: At this time, it is necessary to improve the water quality by changing the water and provide them with a better living environment. The PH of new water should be controlled at about 8, and it should be kept clean and not dirty.
