Anonymous users2024-02-12Turtles can be fed about 5-6 grains at a time. 1. The amount of turtle food that the turtle eats in a day is about 5-6 grains. The metabolism of turtles is extremely slow, and adult turtles do not need to be fed every day, but can be maintained at a frequency of 1-2 times a week.
And the turtle's appetite also changes with the season and temperature. Generally speaking, if the temperature is high, the turtle's appetite will also become better, and the amount of food will be relatively large. And in winter, when appetite decreases or even hibernates, there is no need to feed.
2. The diameter of the ordinary small turtle is about 5 to 10 cm, and it only needs to be fed 3 to 5 turtle grains a day, once a day, and the turtle's eating habits are better, it will not overeat, and it will not eat when it is full. Turtles with a diameter of 10 to 15 cm need to be fed 10 to 15 grains of turtle food per day.
3. If the turtle is more than 15 cm, it is recommended not to feed the turtle food, because its various physical abilities are stronger than the small turtle, it needs to be fed more, and the amount of feeding is not well controlled, if the turtle food is put too much, resulting in waste, put less and not enough to eat, then we can feed some of our human food to eat the rest of the food for feeding, but when feeding, we must have more water and water, or the food we humans eat is too salty, easy to make the turtle inflamed, so that its shell is damaged.

Anonymous users2024-02-11Baby turtles need to be fed every day. When the turtle is small, its nutritional needs are relatively high, so it must be fed adequately so that it can develop quickly.
Adult turtles are usually fed once every 3-5 days, because adult turtles store enough energy and their metabolism is very slow, so they do not need to be fed every day.
But baby turtles are different, they are still in the development stage, so they should be fed frequently, but the feeding amount should not be too large, and each feeding can be about the size of the head.
The feeding time is also related to the tortoise's appetite and temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher its appetite, so the feeding time is generally at noon, so that it can eat quickly.
In addition, in winter, if the temperature is relatively low, it tends to go into hibernation, and it does not need to be fed at this time.
Feed the baby turtle must not be fed too much, because it needs to change its armor during the growth process, if it is fed too much, it grows too big, but the tortoise shell has not been replaced, it will grow very weird, and it is not conducive to its health.

Correct feeding method: at a temperature above 24 degrees 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 a day for 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: small turtles under 3 cm, a turtle only needs 5 young turtle food per day, 3-5 cm, 5-8 small grain turtle food, 5-8 cm turtles can be 5-8 medium grain turtle food, 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.
