When breeding map turtles, sometimes they do not like to eat. There are many reasons for this phenomenon.
May be caused by low water temperature, only in the case of high enough water temperature, generally above 15 degrees, the map turtle will eat, otherwise it will affect their appetite. It is also possible that the food is too single, and the map turtle loses interest in this food. If they are fed only one kind of food for a long time, this may be the reason. One of the most likely reasons is that the map turtle is sick. Specifically, there are many kinds of diseases, such as pneumonia, gastroenteritis and so on, which are possible.
The map turtle appears does not eat the situation, needs to take the measure processing promptly. If the water temperature is too low, it needs to be adjusted properly, using heating rods is also possible, it is best to adjust to 26-28 degrees within this range, their appetite is the best.
If the food is too single, you can choose some food that makes the map turtle more interested, such as insects, shellfish, snails and so on.
If the disease is caused, then the first thing we need to do is to determine the type of disease. Generally speaking, if they are sick, they must have other symptoms besides not eating. If you find that their breathing sound is relatively loud, and runny nose, that is, pneumonia, at this time need to be treated with special drugs; If you find that their feces have problems, or even with blood, then you have gastroenteritis, if serious, you need to consult a special doctor, and then treat it properly. In this case, timely measures should be taken, otherwise the symptoms will be further aggravated.
