Can a Brazilian turtle eat about a pound of turtle food?

Feeding Brazilian tortoises about the size of their heads is sufficient. This turtle is a heterogeneous eater and is very receptive to food, eating basically anything. For young turtles that are in the growing stage, you can feed them a little more.

During this period, the turtle's metabolism will be relatively fast, and it needs more food to provide sufficient energy and nutrients, and the feeding amount is preferably 10% of body weight, and it should be fed 1-2 times a day. When you are an adult, you can feed a little less, and every 1-2 days.

1. How much is appropriate to feed the Brazilian turtle.

In general, Brazilian tortoises should be fed as little as 5% of their body weight. For adult turtles, the amount of food fed is 5%, but for turtles that are still seedlings, it must be more than 5%, otherwise they are prone to malnutrition due to poor nutrition. Usually, most turtles during the growing period will eat more and excrete more, so the amount of food they need to feed about 10% of their body weight to ensure that their daily metabolism is normal and their nutrition is sufficient.

When raising Brazilian tortoises on a daily basis, you can adopt the feeding principle of eating small meals and eating often, which can not only reduce food waste, but also effectively prevent them from eating and holding on.

2. What will happen to the Brazilian turtle if it eats it?

Brazilian turtles will not eat again after eating, and some turtles will not be very active and listless. I believe that many people who have raised Brazilian turtles have encountered this situation, obviously they have food around them, but they just don't eat it, and they may have held on at this time. In many cases, they will stay quietly in the turtle tank and slowly digest without moving, and some will not eat for several days.

If you find that the Brazilian turtle does not eat and does not like to move, you can first observe whether it is because of the food support, if it is because of the food support, then feed it after a few days.

The Brazilian turtle is a carnivorous semi-water turtle that prefers to eat meat, freshwater aquatic products, and small insects;

In captivity, Brazilian tortoises will eat turtle food;

In the event of a lack of food, Brazilian tortoises will also eat leaves, fruits, and small turtle seedlings of the same kind.

More specifically, it is: pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, snails, mussels, earthworms, moths, grasshoppers, etc.

Feeding precautions:

1. Pay attention to the water temperature.

Brazilian turtles feed in water. Like other semi-water turtles, the Brazilian turtle's digestive system becomes stronger as the water temperature increases. At 18 degrees to 22 degrees, do not feed in large quantities, try to feed once every 3-4 days.

At 23-26 degrees, it can be fed once a day. When it is above 27 degrees, it can be fed 2 times a day.

2. Pay attention to the season.

In spring, the weather changes greatly, and it is generally not fed without heating. Summer is the best time for the growth of baby turtles, and they are generally fed 2-3 times a day. Autumn is to prepare for the tortoise's hibernation, so it is also necessary to feed more to prevent the tortoise from dying in winter.

3. Pay attention to water quality.

If the water quality is not good, do not feed it. Because it can cause enteritis.

4. Bask in the sun.

When it is cloudy continuously, feed less. Because turtles need to be exposed to the sun to improve digestion and absorption. In the absence of the sun, the turtle's digestion is not optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to feed less. It can prevent diseases such as intestinal flatulence and enteritis.

Yes, but feed those with small pellets. Turtle snacks can't be eaten.

OK. I shouldn't have started eating so soon, though.

And it may have been mainly to eat fish and shrimp, so be patient and take your time.

The Brazilian turtle has a miscellaneous diet and is not particularly picky about food.

Brazilian turtles are best raised, omnivorous, and can be fed anything.

You can eat turtle food, but don't eat too much.

What to eat is basic. Eat when you're hungry. My family's is always fed. Feed picky eaters.

Yes, basically Brazil can eat anything! However, turtles that only eat turtle food will be a little sub-healthy, and it is recommended to mix fish and shrimp to feed it.

Brazilian turtles grow really fast, two years can be almost a catty, buy an inch of turtle food or other better quality turtle food, feed some fish or shrimp meat every week, really can't just chicken, don't feed pork, the fat content is too high, lean fat content is also high, don't feed salty, it will cause kidney failure and edema.

Some turtles eat and some don't, but a few of mine do.

There are differences in this individual, and each turtle has a different diet.

My family likes to eat all kinds of things, fish and shrimp, meat, turtle food, shellfish, and some fruits and vegetables.
