The four-clawed tortoise, also known as the dry tortoise. It feeds on the flowers, fruits and fleshy leaves of more than 10 kinds of plants, such as wild onions, dandelions, woody skins, early maturing grasses, and top ice flowers, and occasionally eats animal foods such as lizards and beetles, and also likes to drink water, and often makes a low gurgling sound when drinking water. In mid-March each year, the xerophytes of early spring have sprouted, providing them with abundant food**.

The turtle is a turtle that eats vegetarian food, generally eats grass, vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., and feeds vegetables and fruits when breeding turtles.

The turtle mainly eats wild onions, dandelions, woody skins, and occasionally some lizards and beetles, which are its food.

It mainly eats meat and seaweed, but also eats some insects, and can use wheat straw, eggshells, and bone meal to make special feed to feed it, which is also very good.

He usually eats some wild onions, dandelions, ice flowers, and sometimes lizards, beetles, and other animals, and usually likes to drink water.

Sweet potato leaves, I raise turtles here to feed sweet potato leaves, of course, occasionally feed some small fish and shrimp.

Turtles mainly eat some foods such as fish, shrimp, snails, shellfish, insects, grass leaves, fruits, etc. And the turtle is very easy to breed.

It mainly eats grass, turtle food, cabbage leaves, dandelions, and mulberry leaves. These are the main foods that dry turtles eat.

Dry turtles are tortoises, there are only three kinds of tortoises in China, and tortoises are all grass-eating, that is, general oil, wheat lettuce, lettuce, zen leaves, cabbage and plantain, dandelion, mulberry leaves, clover, alfalfa and so on.

Tortoises are a very special and fragile animal, and although they have traditionally been a symbol of longevity, most of what our ancestors saw were tortoises, because there are no tortoises in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins in China. Therefore, the saying of longevity is not necessarily applicable to tortoises.

Although tortoises are slow and resilient, this does not mean that they are easy to raise. Taiwan receives thousands of tortoise larvae a year, and about half of them do not survive the first winter. About 1 to 20 percent will die within a year.

So overall, the mortality rate of raising tortoises is as high as more than 60%, which is much more difficult than that of ordinary reptiles and mammals, and it is very challenging. In other words, more than six out of every ten tortoises live less than a year.

If you take the cheapest and most universal star turtle as an example, the mortality rate within six months is as high as 90%. Although, this high mortality rate is for young turtles under 5 cm. Larger tortoises are mostly wild caught or locally raised by hatchlings.

So if you just want to keep a pet, it's much easier to raise a box turtle or a turtle as much as possible. If you must raise tortoises, try to pick individuals over 7 centimeters, and the mortality rate will be much lower.

Baby turtles eat rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails.

Turtles eat a wide range of foods, including rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails, etc., and their favorite foods are small fish, snails, corn, and rice.

In captivity, in order to meet the various nutrients needed for the growth of turtles and avoid stunted growth and anorexia due to single feed, a variety of feeds should be used, such as fish and shrimp, snails, mussels, etc. in animal feed and rice, wheat, corn, etc. in plant feed.

In order for the turtle to fully digest the feed, the corn and peas must be crushed and soaked for about 2 hours before feeding, and other large pieces of food must also be chopped before feeding. It should also be noted that at different stages of the turtle's growth, feed with different nutrients should be given according to its growth characteristics.

Attention to baby turtle feeding

1. Timing

In spring and autumn, the temperature is low, and the turtle is not very active in the morning and evening, and only feeds around noon, so it is advisable to feed at 8-9 a.m. From the valley rain to the autumn equinox is the peak season for turtle feeding, it is the height of summer, turtles are generally inactive at noon, but mostly active foraging at 17-19 o'clock in the afternoon, so feeding should be carried out at 16-17 o'clock in the afternoon.

2. Positioning

Set up a fixed feeding point along the shore of the pond in sections, and the feeding table of the feeding point should be close to the water surface, so that the turtle can swallow water and bite the food. The purpose of positioning the feed is to make it habitual for the turtle to find food, and to observe the turtle's activity and check the feeding situation.

3. Qualitative

The feed should be kept fresh, and after feeding, the leftover food should be removed in time to prevent the feed from rotting and smelling, affecting the turtle's appetite and polluting the water quality.
