The tortoise is fidgeting these days. What happened?

Turtles are restless for the following reasons:

1, unfamiliar environment.

Most turtles have just arrived in a new environment and feel insecure. They will continue to crawl. You can prepare a hole for it to hide, and the turtle will be quiet when it hides.

2. Is the water quality too bad?

Turtle's requirement for water is not very high, but if the water is not changed for a long time after feeding, the water quality of food residues and turtle feces will become very poor after fermentation, and turtles will also feel uncomfortable with tap water and polluted water that has not been dried. Turtles will naturally be agitated if they want to escape from such an environment. Try to dry the tap water for two days before using it, and change the water for the turtle after feeding for one hour. ?

3. Are you hungry?

Turtles are restless when they are very hungry. Develop a good habit of feeding regularly and quantitatively. It is best to feed it every evening, and the amount of food should be based on the size of the glans and neck.
