1. The food is too single: The yellow-headed side-necked turtle is an omnivorous animal, and they can eat more kinds of food. When feeding, only one or two kinds of food, and only this for a long time, will cause them to be not interested in food, so they do not like to eat.
2. Illness: During the breeding of yellow-headed side-necked turtles, some diseases such as gastroenteritis can also cause their loss of appetite and dislike to eat.
3. Environment inadaptability: Newly purchased yellow-headed side-necked turtles are not adapted to the new growth environment, and it is normal for them not to eat for 3-5 days.
4. Too low water temperature: When breeding yellow-headed side-necked turtles, too low water temperature will also reduce their appetite, causing them not to eat. You can see if the water temperature is too low.
1. Regulate the types of food: When breeding yellow-headed side-neck turtles, we should pay attention to the diversification of food, the organic combination of animal food and plant food, avoid too single food, and find some food they are interested in to feed alternately.
2. Treatment of diseases: If the yellow-headed side-necked tortoise does not eat due to illness, it is necessary to find out the cause and treat it in time. The most common disease that causes loss of appetite is gastroenteritis, which can be seen from their feces, find the cause, and buy special drugs in time for treatment.
3. Suitable environment: If the yellow-headed side-necked turtle does not like to eat due to inadaptability to the environment, do not worry at this time. Do not feed it first. Maintain a suitable environment. After 3-5 days, they adapt to the surrounding environment and will naturally eat.
4. Raise the temperature: Check the water temperature in advance. If the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, it means that the turtle does not like to eat because of the low water temperature. Need to turn up the water temperature to at least 20 degrees. If it is in winter, they can naturally enter hibernation without raising the water temperature.
