What do large tortoises eat? What do turtles eat?

It has nothing to do with the size of the turtle.

Do you know what kind of turtle you are buying? Terrapids? Tortoises? Semi-aquatic turtles?

Different species of turtles have different diets and different living habits? You don't even know what a turtle is, so you buy it back impulsively, which is irresponsible for life.

The size of the turtle has nothing to do with the fact that he eats meat and is a vegetarian. The only thing that affects is the amount of food. And not food.

You try the vegetables he eats or not. Some turtles are vegetarians.

I really recommend LZ to ask the shopkeeper what is going on with this turtle. Now the weather is also warmer. After the sting, the turtle has no reason not to eat.

Why do I have a feeling that lz has been pitted.

If it's a tortoise you should eat vegetables and fruits, if it's a tortoise, you should raise the water temperature (with a warming stick) and then you will eat!

Just because he became a "turtle bastard", he didn't think about tea or food, you found his favorite for him, let them stay together, and he must have a great appetite!! Do you still need me to teach you?

Don't be afraid, it's not time to eat yet

Grass turtles that feed in the water are hungry for a few days.

Turtles have a wide range of food, rice, wheat, peas, small fish, shrimp, insects, snails, etc., and the 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.

The life of the turtle is closely related to the climate, and it begins to feed in early April every year; From June to August, the feeding activity reached the highest peak, and the weight gain rate was the fastest. In October, when the temperature gradually drops, the amount of food begins to decrease, and when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius, it stops feeding and enters the hibernation period. Therefore, feeding should be carried out according to the growth characteristics of the turtle, and the general requirements are as follows:

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 o'clock in the morning. 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 in the afternoon 17-19 o'clock active rock dry foraging, so feeding should be carried out at 16-17 o'clock in the afternoon.

Timing allows the turtle to eat on time, get more nutrients, and also ensure that the feed is fresh.

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.

4) Quantitative. The amount of feed depends on the temperature, water quality, appetite and activity of the turtle, depending on the appetite and activity, and it is advisable to have a slight surplus in the meal. Generally, the disfigurement is fed once every 1 to 2 days.

Small turtles eat small fish, shrimp and other animal or mausoleum feed, rice, grains and other grain feed, vegetable leaves, rhizomes and other foods, and also eat artificial compound feed. When the baby turtle is smaller, give it some turtle food. As the baby turtle grows up, you can add small worms, small fish, mud barons, etc. to the ingredients, and you can also cut the internal organs of pigs, cows and other animals into small dices to feed the baby turtle, and the baby turtle eats 1-2 times a day.

Feeding of baby turtles.

Baby turtles that have gone through the first winter are called hatchlings. Because the turtle grows very slowly, weighing only 100-150 grams at the 3rd instar, the hatchlings are reared with 2nd and 3rd instar turtles, and the feeding method is basically the same.

Particularly small baby turtles can be fed turtle food, not meat, at this time the digestive system of the baby turtle is not fully mature, which will cause indigestion, or even not eat or diarrhea.

The small turtle eats very mixed, as long as it is a little bigger, it can be separated from the turtle food, at this time, the nutrients in the turtle food are not enough to supplement the energy consumed in the body of the small turtle, you can add some small shrimp, small fish and other meat in the food of the small turtle to feed, these fish and shrimp are rich in calcium, which can supplement the calcium required by the small turtle in the growth process. Pigs, cattle and other offal are what little turtles like to eat, and animal underwear contains a lot of vitamins, proteins and fats, which is conducive to the healthy growth of baby turtles.

The baby turtle belongs to the meat and vegetarian animals, and the baby turtle cannot only be allowed to eat meat, which will cause nutritional imbalance and is not conducive to the growth of the baby turtle. All kinds of vegetable leaves, rhizomes, etc. are the favorite food of the little turtle, and you can feed the little turtle. And feed some grain feed in moderation, such as rice, cereals, etc.

Effect of water temperature and water quality on the food intake of baby turtles.

The amount of food eaten by baby turtles varies greatly depending on the water temperature and water quality, and the higher the water temperature, the greater the amount of food eaten. The suitable temperature for baby turtles is between 23 and 28 degrees, and when it is cold, you can add headlights or heating rods to the breeding tank to increase the water temperature.

Keeping the water clean is an important part of turtle farming, and the deterioration of water quality will affect the turtle's food, and even disease and death. Especially in the hot summer, turtles eat a lot of food and feces, which can easily deteriorate the environment, so it is necessary to change the water frequently.

A suitable place for baby turtles.

The baby turtle likes to bask in the sun, and it can be put on the balcony and other places where the sun can shine, which can not only increase energy, but also disinfect and sterilize, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium by the little turtle and has a good effect on the growth of the baby turtle.

The small turtle box is not suitable for the house, although the baby turtle will also be very active and active, but it may not see the baby turtle grow up because of the lack of sunlight all year round, and the baby turtle is also prone to various diseases after a long time. Trouser shed.

Meat and cabbage minced meat, bread, noodles, green vegetables, sandworms (the kind eaten by fish), dried shrimps, turtle special grains, of which only minced meat and green vegetables are not eaten, and the others are eaten, and the dried shrimps, sandworms, and turtle special grains are super loved.

Although it is said that turtles eat any food, they must be especially careful because they are always fed cheap foods with low nutritional value, which may cause nutritional disorders.

What do turtles eat? Turtles need a lot of calcium and should be fed food that contains a lot of calcium. Recently, a well-balanced turtle feed has recently been introduced on the market, so you can eat it with confidence.

What else do turtles eat? In addition to the above, carp feed and dog food are also popular foods for turtles. Occasionally feed some fresh food such as boneless fish, snake meat, rats, etc., which will surely win the love of turtles.

Feeding only fish and sliced meat will cause malnutrition, and water-soluble nutrients need to be added.

The above is the food provided to turtles that often inhabit the water.

What do land turtles eat? Tortoises, such as tortoises, which do not go into the water and prefer plant food, are less suitable for artificial feeding. Generally, vegetables such as leafy vegetables, cabbage, and carrots can be fed with nutrients. Turtles can also be raised using the feed of the nine-sensed bird.

Turtles, more active, strong feeding ability. Generally, feed cooked egg yolks, bloodworms, fly maggots and lean pork mince, etc., and do not feed bait with high fat content or salted bait, so as not to cause symptoms such as indigestion. In early spring, the turtle has just woken up, the activity ability is weak, the temperature is stable, not more feeding, feeding once every 3 days, it is advisable to feed at 11 14 o'clock.

In spring and summer, juvenile turtles are fed twice a day, at 8 9 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. In autumn, the temperature changes greatly in the morning and evening, and feeding should be at 10 to 11 o'clock at noon, once a day. The feeding amount should be eaten 1 hour after feeding.

When the temperature is 20 to 33 °C, the turtle can eat normally, and the maximum feeding amount is 25 to 28 °C. When the temperature is 15 17, most of the turtles have stopped eating and have little activity, and a small number of turtles only eat a small amount. As the ambient temperature gradually decreases, the turtle goes into hibernation.

How to raise turtles:

I found an accurate way to raise turtles.

Take it out and share it.

I raised it for a month last time, and I basically cooked the meat I ate at night, tore some of it and gave it to it, and ate it too.

Turtle food, there are many types of turtle food on the market, and the price difference is also very large, everyone can do what they can, but no matter how good the turtle food is, there is no rich and healthy natural food for turtles. Fish and shrimp, which is the staple food of water turtles in the wild, is very good food, but when feeding, we should pay attention to the size of the fish and shrimp not too big, so as not to scratch the turtle's esophagus with fish bones and shrimp guns.

Meat, mainly pork and beef, is also often fed as a staple food, compared to beef is better than pork, because the fat content is lower and the nutritional value is higher, but in the current environment of clenbuterol, hormones and other environments, there is still a great risk of feeding. Insects are a good snack for turtles, but too much feeding of high-protein insects such as bread worms and barley worms will cause turtles to be difficult to digest and cause inflammation.

Snails, turtles are very fond of eating snails, but the larger snails need to be broken and fed, and at the same time, we should pay attention to cleaning up the residue of the shell, so as not to hurt the stomach of the turtle. Cooked food, some friends especially like to feed cooked food to turtles, thinking that turtles are easy to digest, in fact, on the contrary, cooked food, especially foods containing a lot of food additives such as ham sausages, will bring a great burden to the kidneys of turtles, shorten the life expectancy, or die directly.

Turtles like to eat pork, small fish and shrimp, and generally turtles also eat rice. The pearl turtle I raised usually gives it fish feed, and I don't feed it often, so I can easily raise it until now. In fact, turtles are not easy to raise, especially small turtles, if they don't eat all the time, they will definitely die.

It is recommended to buy a turtle as big as possible, it is easier to raise, a few Brazilian turtles were dead before, and later I heard that Brazilian turtles have cold water turtles and hot water turtles, which is estimated to be caused by different breeding environments.

Animal feed has a high protein and fat content, which has the effect of promoting the growth rate of turtles and increasing the amount of eggs spawned, such as earthworms, silkworm pupa, snails, mealworms, small fish and shrimp, and snail mussel shellfish. Plant-based feed: There are a wide range of plant-based feeds, which can be used to raise turtles according to local conditions, such as soybean cake, peanut cake, corn, sorghum, wheat, and even rice and millet can also be fed to turtles.

Feed the turtle with dry and hard plant feed, you should first soak it in water to swell, and then feed the turtle, if possible, feed it after cooking, the palatability is good, and the turtle loves to eat more. Large pieces of plant-based feed should be chopped up before being fed in a pond or on a feeding table.

What kind of food can baby turtles eat?

Turtles generally eat small earthworms, and there are also foods that make small earthworms into pills and can be bought directly, and I usually buy this kind of thing, which I think is more convenient.

It depends on what breed of turtle you have, some are vegetarian and some eat meat, but most of them eat vegetarian and meat, so they can be said to be omnivores.

Turtles eat a lot of food, such as rice, wheat, small fish, small shrimp, pork, animal offal, insects, etc., and their favorite foods are small fish, snails, and corn.

Small fish, small shrimp or feed turtle food, as well as some protein worms are fine. Larger tortoises can also be fed some fruits and vegetables with their own raw meat.

Turtles are omnivores, meat, fruits and vegetables can be eaten, pork, duck, lettuce.

Hello, I'm glad to answer for you, turtle food: 1. Smaller shrimp: Smaller shrimp are suitable for turtles to eat, which can play a role in feeding turtles and training turtles' survivability.

2. Lean meat: Lean meat is rich in protein, fat and various inorganic salts, which can ensure the normal growth and consumption of turtles.
