Little turtles do not like to move, the most likely reason is that the temperature is too low. Tortoises are poikilothermic animals, their activities are often limited by the ambient temperature, when the water temperature is maintained at 25-30 degrees Celsius, they tend to be more active, below 20 degrees Celsius, they will be more lazy, not very active.
If the small tortoise unfortunately got sick, it will also lead to it does not like to move. In this case, we need to pay attention to observe and see what the disease is. If the eyes are swollen, it is white eye disease, need to change water and apply eye medicine. If you breathe with your mouth open, it means pneumonia, which needs to be kept at a constant temperature and treated with amoxicillin. If the body is rotten, indicating that it is rotten skin or rotten armor, need to squeeze out the blood from the affected area, and then smear with potassium permanganate.
The types of turtles are different. Even if they are the same kind of turtle, some are more lively, while others are more timid. Therefore, their inactivity may also be caused by their personality. Generally, this situation is very difficult to change, but through training, it can be more obedient.
If you just bought a turtle home, you may also encounter this situation, especially if it can find a dark environment, it will often hide inside. General feeding, do not provide escape, otherwise this is very unfavorable for training, can let it slowly familiar with the environment.
