several times. The tortoise begins to eat at 18-20 degrees Celsius. As a poikilothermic animal, its appetite is closely related to the outside temperature, if the temperature is relatively low, its appetite will become less vigorous, or even completely stop eating. Therefore, when the temperature is low, it needs to be properly warmed so that it will be vigorous. You can also bask in the sun at ordinary times, so as to promote metabolism, accelerate digestion, and have the effect of sterilization.
1, do not adapt to the environment: tortoises do not eat, it is likely that they have not adapted to the environment. This kind of animal just bought back, because to the new place, will inevitably have a certain fear, it will take some time to accept the new environment, so will not eat for a while, after a few days to recover.
2. Not in the water: At present, all the turtles that can be raised are terrapins. One of the characteristics of terrapins is that they must eat in the water. They can't eat on land, so they need to be put into the water before feeding, and then they can continue to feed. In addition, after it is eaten, the food residue should be cleaned up as soon as possible.
3. Unpalatable food: Although the tortoise is an omnivorous animal, it doesn't eat everything. It can't eat anything that is not palatable, so it must choose the right food according to its feeding preferences. Most tortoises prefer meat, but yellow-headed and pig-nosed tortoises like vegetarian food.
