Why did the tortoise pretend to be dead?

When you put a turtle in the water, it usually doesn't put its claws in. You said he was floating in the water and playing dead. I think he is tired and has no spirit to swim any more. Generally, if you throw a healthy Brazilian turtle into the water, it will swim hard, but it will consume a lot of energy. Just like your turtle, he hasn't eaten for ten days, so he certainly won't have much physical strength left. I should be exhausted after swimming for several times, so it's the first time.

The tortoise's mouth is very big, just under his nostrils. You can see there is a long crack. When it opened, it was his mouth. A normal turtle should be omnivorous and eat almost everything, but the little turtle likes meat, pig liver and small fish best. He won't eat these things, nor will he feed them to others. Turtles are seldom picky eaters. Fruit, bread and meat are all good meals in his eyes.

I don't think the turtle I just bought should be kept in the water for a long time, and the water should not be too deep. In addition, when choosing turtles, you should choose those lively turtles, and it is best to try them to see if they have an appetite. You'd better not buy turtles that you don't want to eat. The turtle with a strong appetite has a strong adaptability when it first arrives in a new place. Generally, it can adapt to the environment and eat on the first day. However, it takes a long time for sick turtles or weak turtles to adapt.
