How long can a turtle live when it is upside down?

Answer 1

They don't, at least not immediately. But if placed on their back they often can't flip themselves back, and since they can't move they'll eventually die of starvation, dehydration, exposure or after being attacked by some other animal.

Answer 2

Well first of all if your turtle is stuck upside down then HELP HIM BY FLIPPING HIM OVER! If a turtle is upside down and can not help him self it causes a lot of stress. Also, it can cause organ damage or failure. So always help out turtles that are upside down. A turtle could live that way for several hours to a day, it just depends on how long their organs last.

Answer 3

Yes it can die. It will suffocate because everything will put pressure on his lungs and it will put too much weight on his lungs therefore he will suffocate to death.

Answer 4

no it will create too much pressure on his/her lungs therefore it will suffocate

Answer 5

having your turtle upside down can cause organ failure and/or organ damage. if you found it upside down flip it over and see if it lives. it may not live

Answer 6

No.
