    If you're worried, you can feed it 2 times a day. Usually I give them lean meat, but remember that every time you feed it, you have to break it into small pieces! It has to be very small pieces of it.

    Well, one piece of thumbnail should be enough every time, and as the turtle grows up, it can be increased appropriately.

    3.In summer, turtles are the time when they eat the most, usually I feed them twice a day, they eat a lot, I am afraid that they will not be full, so I will put more every time, if they can't eat it, I will throw it away; I want to emphasize one point here, don't put the food in the tank and leave it alone, in the summer, the food is easy to spoil, and if you put too much time, the water will be muddy, which is not good for the turtle's eyes, I usually put them in another tank to feed, and when they don't want to eat, I put them back in the original tank.

    4.Remember to change the water frequently in the summer, at least twice a day! This is important! The reason why turtles usually die is because the water is too unclean.

    5.In the fall, the turtles will eat more because they are about to hibernate, and at this time, the owner should feed them more!

    6.When the turtle hibernates, it is best not to wake them up, try to keep them in a quiet state, don't put too much water, about the edge of the turtle shell here, the owner can change the water once every 2 weeks, the water must be cold, don't add a little warm water because you want to keep them warm!

    7.Of course, in the summer, don't put them in the air-conditioned room, and don't blow an electric fan at them! In the summer, you can give them a little sun, but only for a short time!

    8.When the turtle is not hibernating, put a little more water, if your turtle tank is large, you can put a coral, or it can be used as a coral"Land"So that you can put a tank of water for the turtle to swim, but I don't like this very much, because the coral or some sand are very easy to grow bacteria, so it is too troublesome for the owner to clean these decorations every day, and it is not good for the turtle's eyes, in case it is infected! (The most taboo thing about raising turtles is that the eyes are infected).

    9.When the tortoise is not hibernating, the owner can also give the tortoise"Sterilization"You can put a tank of water and put a little cefradine or salt in the water and let the turtles swim in the water, so that the bacteria in their eyes will be killed, which seems a little scary.

    At a temperature above 24 degrees of water temperature, you can feed 1-2 times a day, each time a turtle eats about 1/10 of the turtle volume, when the water temperature is 20-24 degrees, it should be fed once every 2-3 days, when the temperature is 18-20 degrees, you can feed once a week, when the temperature is below 18 degrees, stop feeding, to prevent the temperature from being too low and the body is not digested and cause the turtle to get gastrointestinal diseases.

    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. Snapping turtles can be fed more than other turtles, have strong digestion ability, and their own metabolism in the body is faster than that of many turtle species, so snapping turtles grow faster, but the leftover bait that cannot be eaten should be cleaned up in time to keep the water clean and dry.

    Extended Information: Turtle Feeding Notes:

    1. 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.

    Hope it helps you and please thank you in time.

    Turtle feeding depends on the season, weather and turtle appetite, generally spring and autumn temperature is low, turtles are not active in the morning and evening, only around noon feeding, so it is advisable to feed at 8 to 9 o'clock in the morning.

    Extended Materials. The feed of turtles is more extensive, strictly speaking, there are more turtle feeds, and the diet is wider than that of turtles, mainly including: animal feed, plant feed and mixed feed.

    First, animal feed: 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, snails and mussels, as well as animal scraps, pig blood, internal organs, moths, insects, etc. (can be trapped by black light at night). The second is plant-based feed:

    There are a wide range of plant-based feed varieties, 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. 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. These plant-based feeds are rich in vitamins and are essential for turtle growth.

    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.

    The third is mixed feed: these feeds are nutritious and diverse, and are divided into juvenile, young and adult turtle feed according to the growth stage. Feeding turtles with these feeds has a very significant effect, and its growth rate, spawning rate, egg production, hatching rate, and survival rate have also been improved.

    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. Therefore, it is usually fed once every 1 to 2 days, so you can't feed too much!

    The tortoise shell is slightly flattened, the dorsal and ventral carapace is fixed and immobile, the dorsal carapace is 10 to 12 cm long and about 15 cm wide, with three longitudinal bulges. Yellow linear markings on the flanks of the head and neck, slightly flattened limbs, fully webbed between the fingers and toes, and claws at the ends of the toes except for the fifth hind limb. In their natural environment, turtles feed on worms, snails, shrimp and small fish, as well as the stems and leaves of plants.

    Turtles are active from April to October every year, during this period, every day at sunset, turtles begin to swim in the water to feed, until dawn before the end of the day, do not stop feeding, dive into the water, and often climb ashore from 10 am to 16 pm on a sunny day, quieter than the shore to bask in the sun. However, turtles are more resistant to hunger, and are not easy to starve to death even if they fast for several months, and they are also resistant to disease and have a high survival rate.

    There are many ways to raise turtles in captivity, such as pond culture, tank culture, wood pot culture and reservoir pond culture, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose according to local conditions. 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. Turtles do not have the habit of guarding their burrows and eggs; Another reproductive feature of it is that the maturation of the egg is not synchronized.

    Check whether the eggs are fresh and high-quality, you can observe the eggs in the sun, if the inside of the eggs is ruddy, it is a good egg, and if the inside of the egg is turbid or smelly, it is a bad egg. Temperature and humidity are the key to the success or failure of hatching, and too high or too low temperature and humidity are not conducive to the embryonic development of turtle eggs.

    Depending on the size of the turtle!

    Turtle seedlings (the size of a coin) should be fed 3 times a day, medium-sized turtles (the size of a cigarette box) should be fed once a day, and large turtles (palm-sized) should be fed 3 times a week.
