Back to the topic, it makes sense that turtles can live long. So, if it doesn't eat, can it live that long? Or in other words, how long can a turtle live without eating? First of all, analyze the current weather. It is winter now, and many animals are hibernating. If you give me a warm room, I can hibernate. We all know that the tortoise has a "home", and it naturally hibernates. It is normal not to eat when hibernating, but if the tortoise doesn't eat when hibernating, it will basically die.
You can think about it, do we consume more energy when running or lying in bed? Of course, I don't need to say more about the answer. So is the tortoise. The speed at which the tortoise usually moves may also reflect its longevity. Since the consumption is small, if you don't eat for a long time, you should be able to last for a month or two. So, if you can't feed the turtle in a far place, please make preparations in advance. Don't force your little turtle to run around the house, put the food in front of it, and it's best to lock it in a small box with the food, so as not to let it find out where the food is, and then starve to death, and you will be cheated to death by it.
It must be mentioned here that the tortoise's food intake is not only related to itself, but also related to the environment. Turtles sleep for ten months a year. When they are asleep, their metabolism will be slow, which is one of the reasons for their longevity. In addition, the life rhythm of turtles is very slow, which means that turtles need and consume energy, so they don't need to spend too much energy on hunting and hunting. This stress-free leisure life has also extended their life span to some extent. Turtles also eat a lot for a long time because of temperature, moisture, light and other reasons. It's all the same, but at least there are differences.
