1. Reason: The yellow-headed side-necked turtle may not adapt to the new environment if it doesn't eat. Generally speaking, this situation will occur when it changes to the new environment or just buys it home.
2. Solution: This situation is relatively normal. Breeders only need to ensure that their living environment is comfortable and wait for about 5 days before they can adapt. After they adapt to the new environment, try to feed food.
2. The water temperature is too low1. Reason: Yellow-headed side-necked turtles don't eat because the water temperature for raising them is too low. They prefer to live in high temperature. If the water temperature is too low, it will affect their appetite and activity.
2. Solution: Breeders need to adjust the water temperature to 24-28 ℃ immediately, so that they can move normally. When adjusting the temperature, the breeder needs to raise the water temperature slowly, and try not to raise it to 24 ℃ at one time, otherwise it will make them uncomfortable. After they adapt to the temperature, breeders can try to feed food.
3. Illness1. Reason: The yellow-headed side-necked turtle does not eat and may be caused by illness. The more common disease is enteritis or cold. The manifestations of these two diseases are different, and enteritis usually has abnormal stool. The cold will cause respiratory tract infection and other problems.
2. Solution: Breeders can judge by their symptoms. If it is enteritis, they need to be fed some norfloxacin, probiotics and other drugs. If it is a cold, they should be fed some amoxicillin and other drugs. If they can no longer be fed medicine, they can be dissolved with water and let them take a medicine bath.
4. The food is single1. Reason: The yellow-headed side-necked turtle doesn't eat, or it may be that the food fed is too single or they don't like the food fed.
2. Solution: Breeders can change other foods for feeding, such as live bait that they are interested in.
