Should you be concerned if your turtle has not eaten for days?

If it gets cold where you live during winter time, then your turtle will most likely slowly stop eating, and become much less active. This is a sign that conditions are becoming increasingly difficult for him to cope with. It is natural for him to want to go into hibernation. They should burrow into the soil to wait out the unfavorable cooler months in a deep sleep. It is important for you to discover where he intends to burrow so that you can look in on him every once in awhile. He still needs to have his enclosure sprayed to maintain humidity to keep his skin from drying out. If your turtle is looking sickly, do not let him go inactive for the winter. It is likely that he will not survive. Take him to a veterinarian that specializes in reptiles to decide the best course of action.
