Many pet turtles will refuse to eat when they first arrive in a strange environment, but most pet turtles will get rid of this problem after adapting for a period of time. Some pet turtles will continue this phenomenon for a long time, which requires us to open food for them. Then let's talk about how to feed pet turtles.

1. Natural feeding: Shrimp is the most commonly used food for water turtle seedlings. When heated in summer, autumn or winter and spring, the shrimp meat is mashed and put into the water, and there is no hurry to change the water. Wait patiently for a while, and healthy turtles will generally try food in a short time. In the meantime, please be careful not to move too much, so as not to affect the mood of the new turtle. ?

2. Food attraction: Use chopsticks, tweezers and other long tools to hold the shrimp and gently shake it in front of the turtle's nose. At this time, turtles generally have two reactions. First of all, they are afraid to avoid. At this time, don't worry, don't chase shrimp, and slowly shake around 1CM in front of the tortoise. Even if the tortoise runs again, don't lose heart! Patience is the key to raising turtles! It usually takes several hours for turtles to eat. Second, I looked at it a little and ignored it. At this time, don't just hold your breath, continue to shake it gently, and don't lean on its mouth. When the tortoise approaches itself, it will quickly bite the food.

3. Stimulate eating: More than two turtles are easy to eat. Experience shows that turtles have the characteristic of trusting their peers. As long as it sees the same kind of food eating, it will generally think it is safe food and will rob it. So you can find a turtle about the same size that has already started eating to stimulate the new turtle to start eating.

4. Eat in a different environment: After entering a new environment, most turtles will be afraid and wary of new things around them. If the turtle's new residence is far from the sun and the environment is poor, it will suddenly stop eating and eat less. It is recommended to move to his residence, and the balcony is the best. Where there is sunshine, turtles are the same everywhere. Then take other ways to eat, turtles generally eat.

5. Lighting method: The first condition for implementing this method is darkness, and a flashlight is needed. Wait until night or in a dark room to create a dark environment. Wait for half an hour or so, after the tortoise falls asleep. Take the tortoise's food and flashlight into the tortoise jar, turn on the flashlight and shine it on the tortoise's face, and the tortoise will slowly open its sleepy eyes. At this time, put the prepared food in front of the turtle and shake it about 1cm. Turtles' eyes will soon focus on this place, and healthy turtles generally bite people.
