The flame turtle is a kind of turtle that is easy to raise. They are not picky about food. They can eat many kinds of food. However, in the process of breeding, they may not eat. First of all, we should make clear the reasons, which are mainly divided into the following two situations:
1. The newly bought flame turtle: If the newly bought flame turtle does not like to eat, then it may be that they have not adapted to the surrounding environment, so they do not eat. This phenomenon is relatively common, is a normal phenomenon, do not worry too much. It takes 3-5 days for them to adapt to the environment, and then they will start eating slowly.
2. Flame tortoise raised for a long time: If the flame tortoise raised for a long time suddenly does not eat, you need to find other reasons. It may be that the water temperature is not suitable, if the water temperature is too low, it will affect the appetite of flame turtles, leading them not to eat. It may also be because they have gastroenteritis, gastrointestinal problems, at this time they may not eat, in this case, they have to use special drugs.
Just bought the flame turtle is the need to eat, after eating, their appetite is very good, food is also very large. After they are familiar with their surroundings, it is easier to start feeding, so they have to adapt first. When eating, you need to adjust the water temperature to be higher, about 30 degrees is better, and it is better to have light at this time. The type of food is also very important, it is best to use special feed, or meat as a starter food, because the flame turtle is interested in meat when it is relatively young.
