As a poikilothermic animal, the turtle's activity is affected by the environmental temperature, especially the temperature in the water. If the water temperature is relatively low, it will affect its appetite, causing it not to eat, or even have no vitality. In this case, as long as the temperature is properly raised, it will begin to eat.
Although the tortoise is an omnivorous animal, it also has requirements for feed. If it is fed something that is not palatable, it will often not eat it. Generally, according to the turtle's feeding habits, choose the right feed, but also pay attention to the mix, so as to provide a more comprehensive impact, so that it grows better.
If the tortoise is sick, it will be affected by the disease, and its appetite will be greatly reduced. In general, this situation will be very obvious, such as white eye disease is white eyes, rotten nail disease, rotten skin disease will have a rotten taste, pneumonia will let it breathe. For different conditions, we need to find the right treatment.
If you just bought a turtle home, because of the environment is not adapted to and fear, it will not eat, this situation will generally last 3-7 days, and so it is not so anxious, you can feed. If it is more than 7 days, it may be due to other reasons and need to be checked again.
