my turtle wont eat what do i do?

Question

i got it yesterday

Answer 1

1. New turtles are often so stressed by the move and new habitat that they do not eat for about a week. Let it get used to things for a few more days before you worry about it.

2. The most common reasons they don't eat are:
- cold water, aim for 75-80F
- stress
- wrong diet

Answer 2

I used to have 2 turtles, so i will relate to what you're asserting. Did you get your turtle from a puppy shop? I have been given mine from a puppy shop, and considered one of them became into ill when I have been given it (i did not realize it on the time however). It would not eat something the two, or maybe however I spent countless funds determining to purchase countless issues (like fancy warmers and eye drops), it did die truly immediately. My suggestion could be to take the turtle to the vet ASAP and notice what he recommends, somewhat than do what I did and attempt a gaggle of random issues XD desire this helped!

Answer 3

You need to figure out why it's not eating.
First, read some books on basic turtle care- most of the askers here don't keep them correctly.
You also may just need to give it a little time to adjust to its new enclosure.
