Turtles don’t like to move. Do you really think so?

Our friends who raise turtles will find that after your turtle becomes familiar with the environment, it will be noisy and even energetic in the water. When the light is dim at night, there are always high-spirited guys. There are also various jailbreaks. In the blink of an eye, you can no longer find the trace. Even if you find it later, it is likely to be in a place you never thought of before.

So turtles don’t like to move. This is not a correct understanding. Well, it is true that sometimes we find that turtles don't like to move, and they just stay in a corner or stay on the shore, not moving for a long time. This depends on the situation. The first reaction is not that the turtle is sick. How to treat it is more reasonable.

If our breeding container is not large enough and the breeding environment is small, then the turtle will naturally not like to move if it lives in such a space for a long time. After all, no matter how it moves, it will not help, and it is still within a small range. Although the turtle can be kept in a palm-sized container, it is not happy because they usually don't move much and can't move much. Over time, they will lose their active expression and become lazy all day long.

Furthermore, turtles that are too fat also don’t like to move. We just care too much about the livelihood of our turtle sons, so we have to feed them enough. If things go on like this, many turtles will start to become obese. Obesity not only oppresses various organs within the turtle shell, but also makes the turtle less active. Once you stop moving, you will become even more obese and enter a vicious cycle. Once they do not exercise and are fed a lot, turtles are prone to gastroenteritis or other complications caused by obesity. This is not caused by environmental discomfort, but by real illness.

Some turtle lovers like to raise turtles in a large environment, while others advocate raising turtles in deep water, and firmly believe that these methods can raise turtles well. Undoubtedly, the characteristics of these environments provide turtles with ample space for them to fully develop their active nature.

Of course, the activity and quietness of a turtle are also related to the turtle species and the individual personality of the turtle. Everyone calls the map turtle the "husky among turtles" because it is as active and energetic as a husky. Generally speaking, maps are quite energetic, but there are also some timid little guys who like to be quiet. Maple leaves are quieter than saw blades. Ha, this is also my personal opinion. Different turtle species will have slight differences. There are also personality differences between tortoises, and each individual is unique.

Don’t say that turtles like to be still. That’s because you haven’t raised a turtle yet. Turtles are also small animals that love to move. We must provide a good "fitness" place for turtles as much as possible. If an individual who was active before becomes relatively quiet suddenly, you should pay attention and judge its specific situation based on whether the temperature is suitable; whether there are major changes in the environment; and whether there is any disease.

When the temperature is low, the turtle will definitely not like to move; if the environment changes greatly, it will have to adapt again and become more cautious; dirty water quality will also affect its activity level. If there is rotten skin and rotten armor, or if the turtle becomes inactive due to cold or enteritis, this requires our owners to observe the healthy behavior of the turtle.

A turtle that doesn't like to move does not mean it is sick, but if it is sick, it probably means that it doesn't like to move. You need to analyze the specific situation.
