There are many reasons why the grass turtle will not eat. First of all, the grass turtle is a relatively timid animal, suddenly entering a strange environment may lead it not to eat. At this time, it can wait for it to get familiar with the environment before feeding. If the newly bought tortoise is too young, it may not take the initiative to eat. In addition, if the ambient temperature is too low, it will cause it to fall into a dormant state and not eat. Finally, if the grass turtle body disease, will also affect its appetite, or even do not eat.
1. Water temperature: If the water temperature is too low, it will not reach the temperature at which the grass turtle eats, which will not only make the grass turtle uncomfortable, but also make them eat less. At this time, the water temperature can be properly increased and maintained at about 23 C.
2. Environment: Grass turtles generally cannot eat on land. If the food is not placed in the right place, the water level is shallow, or directly placed in the land layer, the tortoise will not be able to eat. At this time, the feeding position should be changed and the food should be put into the water.
3, food: Some food is not suitable for the grass turtle appetite, this time should be fed some small fish, shrimp and other relatively fresh food.
4. The age of the tortoise is too low: At this time, keep the environment quiet, and feed it every day, and wait for it to open its mouth actively.
5. Physical factors: Sometimes the tortoise can not eat or eat less because of eye diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. At this time, treatment should be aimed at the disease in order to make it recover as soon as possible.
