    In the case of choosing the amount of food according to the volume of the turtle, a small turtle under 3 cm, a turtle only needs 5 young turtle food per day, 3-5 cm, you can have 5-8 small grains of turtle food, 5 cm -8 cm turtle can be 5-8 grains of medium grain turtle food, and turtles above 8 cm can generally rely on personal feelings, or feed according to 1/10 of the volume, provided that the temperature mentioned above is considered.

Choose the food suitable for the size of the turtle according to the size of the turtle, such as in the stage of juvenile turtles and young turtles, you can grind the fish and shrimp meat with a meat grinder, and then mix it with the powdered feed of the soft-shelled turtle and feed it together. Sub-adults and adult turtles can directly process fish meat and shrimp meat into lumpy feed suitable for the size of their mouths, and remove the large fish bones in the fish meat to avoid causing injuries to the turtle's esophagus, thereby causing damage to the turtle.

    2. Different foods should be processed differently, for example, for snail food, the shell should be crushed and fed. Usually, multivitamins and calcium additives can be appropriately mixed in turtle feed at intervals to meet the nutritional and physiological needs of turtles. When the weather temperature changes greatly, especially when the temperature drops by more than 3, you can feed less or no feeding, so as not to cause indigestion of turtles.

There are also fruit and vegetable plants that can also be appropriately fed to turtles, such as pumpkin, winter melon, watermelon skin, apple peel, duckweed, tender grass and potatoes.

Large pieces of plant-based feed should be chopped up before being fed in a pond or on a feeding table.

    Hello, turtles are usually fed once a day or two, but they should be fed every day during the hatchling period. This animal has a relatively low metabolism, is very hungry tolerant, and can even go without food for 3-4 months during hibernation. At the same time, its appetite is related to temperature, if the temperature is relatively high, its appetite will be more vigorous, if the temperature is low, it will not like to eat, so controlling the temperature is the key to raising turtles.

    In terms of food, baby turtles need a lot of calcium to ensure that the shell of baby turtles has enough nutrients, so they need to be fed food that contains a lot of calcium when feeding. Foods that contain a lot of calcium include fish meat and fish fillets, but only eating these substances may cause malnutrition in baby turtles, so you may need to use some foods that contain other nutrients, such as peanuts, corn, sorghum, wheat, rice, millet, etc., or pumpkin, winter melon, watermelon rind, apple peel and other foods can supplement other nutrients.
