It's very cold. Why doesn't my turtle move?

When the weather is cold, many reptile pets will have some problems, such as loss of appetite and reduced activities. For turtles, winter is their dormant period, so it is not necessarily an abnormal phenomenon that turtles do not move.

But still need to pay attention to some details.

First of all, keep the temperature around the turtle stable. If the temperature is too low, the turtle will go into dormancy, and if the time is too long, it will lead to the loss of vitality and the decline of immunity. At the same time, turtles should not be exposed to excessive temperature, which will overheat their bodies.

Secondly, observe the tortoise's appetite. If the appetite drops, we can shorten the feeding time, reduce the feeding times, increase the feeding times and pay attention to the nutritional balance.

Finally, if the turtle is found to have abnormal conditions, such as swelling, difficulty breathing, etc., it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and seek professional veterinary help.

To sum up, it is normal for soft-shelled turtles to stay still in winter, but attention should be paid to keeping the temperature stable and observing their appetite. If there is any abnormality, you need to see a doctor in time.
