The tortoise is usually fed once every one to three days. As an omnivorous animal, it can accept many kinds of feed, including small fish and shrimp, fruits and vegetables. In order to ensure balanced nutrition, food needs to be matched so as to grow healthily. In addition, because it needs to eat in the water, it is better to clean up after eating and change the water to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the water body.
if you don't eat? 1. Change the feed: The reason why the turtle doesn't eat is probably because the feed itself is not good. Although its feeding habits are miscellaneous, it does not eat everything, especially turtle food, which may not be eaten for the first time. In view of this situation, it is better to starve for a period of time, and then feed it, so that the turtle can accept it.
2. Raise the temperature: Because the tortoise is a poikilothermic animal, its appetite will also be affected by the temperature, and it does not like to eat when the temperature is low. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to raise the water temperature properly, at least above 15 C, preferably around 20 C, so that it can be eaten.
3. Treat the disease: When the tortoise is sick, the factors of the disease will also affect its eating. At this time, the tortoise needs to be treated first, and then re-fed after recovery. During the treatment period, the tortoise needs to be kept dry, but it should be soaked in water several times a day, otherwise long-term dehydration will lead to the death of the tortoise.
