    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.

    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. 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.

    In addition, carp feed and dog food are also suitable foods. 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 food introduced above is provided to turtles that often inhabit water, such as tortoises, which do not go into the water and prefer plant food, so they are not suitable for artificial feeding. Generally, vegetables such as leafy vegetables, cabbage, and carrots can be fed with nutrients. You can use the feed of the Nine Senses Bird to feed.

    It's winter, and tortoises don't eat. When it starts to eat, feed it some minced shrimp every day, be sure to chop it, because the baby turtle can't eat the whole piece of food, don't feed any turtle feed. Shrimp meat is nutritious and contains calcium, which is the most ideal food for turtles.

    But now we have to change the water every day, because the turtles raised at home use stagnant water, and if you don't change it, there will be a lot of bacteria breeding, and the water is best to be exposed to the sun for a day, not directly use tap water.

    Loach fish is its favorite, and other things such as raw meat can also be used, but it is best not to give it intestines, because intestinal oil is easy to pollute the water.
