    What exactly do tortoises eat? Many people buy the "special turtle food" recommended by the profiteers who sell pets, and go back to find that the turtles and turtles do not like to eat or even eat at all, in fact, those so-called "turtle food" are basically cheating money, profiteers only to make money and do not care about the life and death of the weak turtles and turtles that they just bought, and sell the kind of turtles and turtles that do not eat the garbage at all to you, they wish you were raised to death and quickly buy one, so when buying turtles and turtles, do not buy the so-called "turtle food" recommended by profiteers, I am not responsible for raising death! Sisippi red-eared turtle mainly eats meat, small fish and shrimp, loach, earthworms, insects, etc., I often kill the flies to it as a snack, just bought the small turtle turtle's eating ability is generally relatively weak, and will not prey on live food, so at this time you need to feed it a little bit, to feed it to be very patient, cut the fresh meat into the size of mung beans, with tweezers to slowly stretch to the nose of the small turtle turtle, it will smell carefully before eating, sometimes the reaction is very slow, so you can't be in a hurry, try a few more times practice makes perfect, Generally, when feeding a cigarette butt so much meat at a time, you can feed it three or four times a week when you are small, so that it can quickly adapt to the environment and grow up, because it will be dormant after a long time of hunger, and too small turtles often can't wake up when they are dormant, so you should feed more to avoid it from dormant, when it grows larger than the matchbox, it will generally eat by itself, at this time you can put some very small fish and shrimp in the water to let it practice predation, don't put too much, otherwise it will bite a lot but don't eat, So as long as the water smells bad for a day at most, the same is true for feeding meat, don't waste it, and don't feed it as much as you can eat, otherwise it will be broken, my turtle turtle used to often hold up the head and limbs can not retract back, very funny, and several times actually vomited, it can be seen how useless the turtle is!

    The result of feeding too much will make the turtle grow too fast, and it won't be fun and cute at all when it grows up, unless you are raising it and preparing to eat it, hehe! I have a friend who bought a turtle with me, but I fed too much, less than two years to grow to the size of the bowl, the pattern on the body is all gone, gray and ugly, and make a snoring and panting sound, dinosaurs in general, when it is so big, it can already eat a basin of loach in a week, it can be seen that it is terrifying, so it can be fed once a week when it grows up, it is best to feed some small fish, so that you can supplement calcium to make its shell grow harder.

    <>1. When the family has tortoises, tortoises are vegetarians. Because plants are low in calories, they have a great appetite. They eat plants all the time, so it's better to feed the turtles every day.

    The main choice of vegetables and fruits: vegetables include rape, cabbage, rape, carrots, etc., and fruits include bananas, apples, cracked kiwifruit, etc. Usually the varieties are fed to ensure diversity, and in the meantime, pollution-free pastures can also be fed.

    2. When raising a water turtle, the water turtle is a carnivore, such as a Brazilian turtle, you can choose river fish, shrimp, loach, beef, animal liver, etc. There are now professional turtle foods on the market, which is also a good choice. Turtles can generally eat pig liver, raw lean meat, vegetables, shrimp skin, small fish, snails, etc.

    3. There is also the fact that pearl turtles are often carnivores when they are young. But when they grow up, they prefer to grow food. Therefore, it is important to first understand the species and habits of the turtles you are keeping.

    4. Don't give the turtle too much to eat, because the turtle doesn't feel full, which can cause the turtle to grow too fast, or its legs to swell, or even die. Baby turtles can be fed once a day, and after two or three days they can grow up. Also, do not feed frozen food directly.

    It is very likely to make the lead turtle very sick.

It's okay, don't worry, the turtle that has just woken up from hibernation has no interest in food and refuses to eat, so the keeper does not need to feel surprised and shocked. Turtles that have just woken up from hibernation, like many people who have just woken up, will feel dizzy and need some time to adjust, but turtles take much more time to adjust than humans, about 1-2 days, or longer. Many turtles that have just woken up from hibernation look skinny or appear to be dysnourished, which is normal under normal circumstances. >>>More
