1. Will the tortoise starve to death

? Although the tortoise has a strong hunger tolerance, if it is not fed for a long time, it will also starve to death. Usually in the non-hibernation state, hunger for one or two months is not enough, and during hibernation, because of the extremely low consumption, it can last for three or four months or even longer. In addition, because the accumulation of nutrients in the body is relatively small, the hunger tolerance of young turtles is much weaker than that of adult turtles, so they must be fed within a week.

As a poikilothermic animal, the tortoise's appetite is affected by the temperature, so when it is cold, it often does not eat. In this case, attention should be paid to keeping warm. The ambient temperature must be controlled above 15 ℃, so as to help it eat, especially the water temperature.

Generally, according to their feeding habits, choose meat or vegetables, meat with fish and shrimp is appropriate, other lean meat is also OK, do not choose too fat. Vegetables and fruits can supplement nutrition, so add a little regularly.
