    Turtle feeding habits are divided into vegetarian, omnivorous, and carnivorous. Vegetarian turtles should ensure that the variety of vegetarian foods is as diverse as possible. Omnivorous turtles can be fed a high proportion of protein food in the juvenile stage, and as they grow older, they begin to reduce the proportion of protein intake and increase fiber intake.

    Carnivorous turtles often feed on whole fish, whole shrimp, and even chicks. Nowadays, there are many optional feeds on the market, which are more nutritious and easier to digest and absorb than self-prepared bait. After the turtle eats, it is important to clean up the food residue in time, especially in the summer, to avoid spoilage and bacteria.

    Turtles are ectotherms, and they depend on the outside temperature, so in spring and autumn, it is recommended to reduce the frequency of feeding, once every 2 or 3 days, and it is better to feed around 9 a.m.; In summer, the feeding frequency can be appropriately increased, and feeding once in 1-2 days can be done. Young turtles can be fed more often, and adult turtles can also be fed more often.

    Answer: Turtles are kept in the shade and eat shrimp, insects, snails, etc. The most suitable water tank is generally slightly higher than the turtle's back, if the turtle is smaller, never put too much water. In the middle of the jar you can put a stone larger than a turtle shell, but it should be flatter.

    This makes it easier for the baby turtle to climb up and rest.

    If the turtle hibernates or if the temperature is very low, they will not eat. If the temperature of the turtle's living environment is kept at about 25, then it will not hibernate and can feed it normally. Domestic tortoises generally do not release water in winter because they need to hibernate in the sand.

    In addition to fasting to cool down before hibernation, sand or coconut soil is usually provided so that they burrow into it to survive the winter. Such an environment is chosen because it keeps warm and moisturizes so that it does not affect its survival after the temperature continues to drop, and a humid environment also prevents dehydration. If you hibernate in an open field, the risk is still very high.

    Sand or soil can be added with some moderate amount of water once in a while to ensure that it can live in a moist environment and avoid cracking the shell.

    Do not hibernate baby turtles before the age of two, provide them with a comfortable and suitable temperature, and maintain normal activity and feeding. Adjust the temperature of the turtle tank to a constant temperature of 32 degrees, and keep the water at a constant temperature of 32 degrees, feed the turtle food twice a day, and change the water once a day.
