    The 10 favorite foods of turtles are pork, beef, bread worms, small fish, small shrimp, loaches, animal liver, cooked egg yolks, bloodworms, and fly maggots.

    Although turtles eat everything, special care must be taken not to allow them to eat cheap and low-value foods that can lead to malnutrition. Turtles need a lot of calcium and should be fed calcium-rich foods.

    In addition, carp feed, dog food, turtles can also be eaten. Occasionally feed some boneless fish, snake meat, rats and other fresh food, you can win the turtle's favor. But eating only fish and slices of meat can lead to malnutrition and require water-soluble supplements.

    Precautions for turtle feeding

    It is necessary to choose the appropriate size of the food according to the size of the turtle, such as in the stage of juvenile turtles and young turtles, you can grind fish and shrimp meat, and then mix it with powdered feed 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.

    Different foods should be processed differently, for example, snail foods 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.

    Clause. 1. Small fish, shrimp and other living creatures, this kind of food contains a lot of calcium, which can meet the growth needs of turtles.

    Clause. 2. Frozen meat, such as fish, beef, and chicken is OK, but don't feed pork, high-fat pork can cause turtles to become overweight.

    Clause. Third, high-quality turtle food, to choose a familiar brand, the quality is more guaranteed.

    So in addition to the diet, in the process of raising turtles, you should also pay attention to:

    First of all, the water in which the turtle is raised should not be too deep, and it is best not to exceed the length of the turtle itself, otherwise it is likely to cause the turtle to suffocate to death. If you want to feed in deep water, you need to prepare a place where you can put your feet on it, so that the turtle can rest, and provide a sundeck.

    Secondly, it is best to keep the turtle water for two days before using it, because the tap water contains chlorine gas, and direct use may harm the health of the turtle.

    Finally, it is necessary to pay attention to the frequency of water changes for the turtle and maintain a certain regularity, because the turtle excretes relatively quickly, and the water is easy to get dirty.

    In the process of feeding the tortoise, be sure not to give the tortoise too much food, too obesity will lead to problems such as internal organ compression and dorsal deformity, which will be detrimental to the health of the tortoise, and even lead to the death of the tortoise.
