Friends who like to raise turtles may have this confusion. Their beloved turtles have unformed feces, like mud. What's going on? It turns out that turtles, like humans, also have poor digestive systems. So what if a turtle's stool doesn't form properly? Don't worry, the editor has a way to help you solve this problem. Come and watch together.
We can observe our beloved turtles from the following aspects to determine whether they have suffered from gastroenteritis:
1. Cleanliness of the turtle's ejaculation hole: When a turtle's feces are in strips, they can be completely pulled out of the body without any fecal adhesion in the ejaculation hole. But when the stool is irregular or contains a lot of abnormal content, it will stick to or around the ejaculation hole during the process of being pulled out of the body.
2. Turtle stool shape: If turtle stool is formed, even if there is only a small amount of food residue, it does not constitute gastroenteritis and can only be judged as indigestion. There are many reasons that can cause indigestion, including low feeding temperature, large changes in feeding temperature, and unsuitable food types for turtles.
3. The content of food residue in feces: Under normal circumstances, if feces are completely digested, there will be no food residue. If there is food residue in the feces pulled out by the turtle, it indicates that the turtle has not digested the food it has eaten.
4. Content of abnormal contents in stool: abnormal contents refer to jelly, tofu dregs, small Rolls of dried bean milk creams pieces, etc. A healthy turtle's feces will not have any abnormal secretions. These abnormal secretions are all caused by various intestinal lesions.
