There are many reasons for the grass turtle's refusal to eat, which need to be analyzed in detail. It is very difficult for the newly bought grass turtle to adapt to the new environment at first, after all, the grass turtle itself is relatively timid, so it should be given a few days of adaptation period, let it slowly explore the new environment, and so on grass turtle gradually familiar with, will begin to eat. If the newly bought turtle seedlings are too young, they will not eat by themselves, which requires human assistance, such as using tweezers to help it eat.
The grass turtle is a kind of poikilothermic animal. Its various physiological activities will change with the change of temperature, especially its digestive system. If the temperature is too low, it will not eat. At this time, it is necessary to use a heating rod to raise the temperature. Generally, the temperature can be controlled between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. Finally, if the tortoise is sick, its appetite will be weakened, at this time, the breeder needs to treat it in time according to the disease, and when the condition gets better, it will slowly begin to eat.
The effect of using live bait is the best. First try to feed some earthworms, small fish, shrimp and other foods, these living bait is not only rich in nutrients, but also easier to attract grass turtles to eat. If the effect is not good, you can feed some turtle food, but pay attention to the amount of feeding should not be too much.
