The arrival of a new tortoise is an exciting time for many new tortoise owners. However, if you don't pay attention to a few details, it can have adverse effects on your new turtle's health. Here are six key things that can lead to the unfortunate demise of your new turtle.

First of all, when your new turtle arrives, don’t rush into putting it into warm water. New turtles are very sensitive to temperature changes, and sudden increases in temperature may make them sick. Therefore, it is very important to allow your new turtle to acclimate to the room temperature upon arrival, and then gradually adjust the water temperature.

Secondly, do not feed your new turtle immediately. Turtles need time to adapt to their new environment and may become too stressed to eat. Therefore, it is best not to feed a new turtle during the first few days after its arrival to allow it to gradually become familiar with its new environment.

Third, don’t expose your new turtle to sunlight right away. New turtles are not accustomed to the intensity and duration of sunlight, and sudden exposure to direct sunlight may cause damage to their skin. Therefore, after a new turtle arrives, it should be placed in a cool place to allow it to adapt to the environment, and then gradually provided with an appropriate amount of sunlight.

Fourth, avoid excessive touching of your new turtle. Turtles can be sensitive to human touch, and excessive touch can make them anxious and uncomfortable. Additionally, human hands may carry bacteria that may be transferred to turtles upon contact. Therefore, it is best to avoid removing your new turtle from the water after it arrives and allow it to live in a peaceful environment.

Fifth, do not soak new turtles in glucose. Turtles don't need glucose supplements like humans do, and excess glucose can actually harm their health. Therefore, after your new turtle arrives, it is important to avoid soaking it in glucose and allow it to acclimate naturally to its new environment.

Finally, don’t overfeed your new turtle. A turtle's digestive system is not adapted to overfeeding, which can lead to digestive problems. Additionally, overfeeding can cause water quality to deteriorate, adversely affecting the turtle's health. Therefore, after a new turtle arrives, it is important to feed it in moderation and avoid overfeeding.

In summary, owners must pay special attention to these six key things after a new turtle arrives to ensure it doesn't die. The correct approach is to let the turtle rest for 2-3 days and then gradually begin to adapt to the new environment.
