In general, there are many reasons why the yellow-margined box turtle does not eat. First of all, the yellow-margined box turtle belongs to a poikilothermic animal, and its physiological activities are closely related to temperature, especially the digestive system. The most suitable temperature for its life is between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is lower than 18 degrees Celsius, it will directly affect its eating. Secondly, the newly bought turtle seedlings will not eat by themselves, which will also cause the phenomenon of not eating. Thirdly, the newly bought turtle seedlings are relatively timid and will not eat because they do not adapt to the new environment. Finally, if gastrointestinal diseases occur, it will also affect its eating.
In view of the problem that the yellow-margined box turtle does not eat, we need to analyze the specific situation. First of all, if it is a newly bought turtle seedling, the breeder can wait for it to adapt to the environment before feeding, bait can choose red worms, earthworms and other live bait. If the turtle is too young, it can be fed artificially. Secondly, if it is because of the temperature, we should adjust the temperature in time and control it between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius. Finally, we should always observe its physical condition, if the disease occurs, we should treat it in time.
