Flame turtles are relatively hungry. After they enter hibernation, they can persist in not eating for several months and will not die. However, under the condition of normal breeding, how long they can persist depends on their environment. Generally speaking, if the water temperature is about 25 ℃, they can persist in not eating for 1-2 weeks, and if they exceed 2 weeks, they will be at risk of death.
However, there are also flame turtles with good constitution, which can last for one month. If the water temperature in which they are raised is lower, they can last longer. Although flame turtles can persist in not eating for a long time, long-term non-eating will have a great impact on their health and growth and development.
Second, what should flame turtles do if they don't eatFlame turtles are not picky about food and eat a lot. If they don't eat, it may be because they suffer from diseases, such as enteritis or cold, and breeders need symptomatic treatment according to their different conditions. It may also be because the feeding environment is uncomfortable, such as poor water quality and low water temperature. Breeders need to adjust the feeding environment immediately to ensure their comfort, and then try to feed them after they adapt to the new environment.
