In spring and autumn, the temperature is low, and the turtle is not very active in the morning and evening, and only feeds around noon, so it is advisable to feed at 8-9 o'clock in the morning.
From the valley rain to the autumn equinox is the peak season for turtle feeding, it is the height of summer, turtles are generally inactive at noon, but mostly in the afternoon 17-19 o'clock active foraging, so feeding should be carried out at 16-17 o'clock in the afternoon. Timing allows the turtle to eat on time, get more nutrients, and also ensure that the feed is fresh.
The feed should be kept fresh, and after feeding, the leftover food should be removed in time to prevent the feed from rotting and smelling, affecting the turtle's appetite and polluting the water quality.

Baby turtles can be fed at any time, because turtles can live with or without eating, and they can also fix the feeding time.

The baby turtle does not need to be fed all the time, because the characteristic of the baby turtle is that it will not go hungry if it does not eat for a long time.
So basically, it's okay to feed it every few days, and you don't need to feed it at a fixed time.

According to the living habits of wild turtles, the night is the time for turtles to eat, so it is a better choice to feed turtles at night. There are some important things to know about feeding turtles:
Turtle seedlings need a lot of energy to grow, but the turtle seedlings have insufficient digestion ability, so try to get as much sun as possible during the turtle seedlings period. 30 minutes is enough, and after a long time, it will be sunburned, and in summer, it is dangerous to die.
It is best not to feed the turtle seedlings according to the season, but according to the water temperature in your turtle tank. When the water temperature is 20-24 degrees, it should be fed once every 2-3 days, and when the water temperature is 25 or higher, the turtle seedlings should be fed twice a day, in the morning and evening, and each time they are eight minutes full.
Management Essentials:
Feed nutritious foods such as small fish, small shrimp, screws, and raw lean meat. The baby turtle should cut the raw fish and shrimp and feed them well. Do not feed cooked lean meat, fatty meat and indigestible food, otherwise you will have indigestion and get sick.
During the growing season, when the temperature is above 15, about 5-10 months, the period from the time the turtle starts eating to the time when it stops eating is called the time when the turtle grows. During this time, it needs to bask in the sun, so as mentioned earlier, the ** of the pond should be littered with stones, mounds, and green spaces. During this time, you should change the water frequently, once a week.
The hibernation period, which is about November to April of the following year, when the temperature is below 15, and the food gradually stops and the hibernation period begins. You can't leave the water when hibernating, otherwise you will lose water and get sick and die.

Adult turtles have a wide range of food, and can eat small fish, shrimp, snails, mussels, vegetables, insects, etc. Generally, when the water temperature rises above 15, start eating. 6 September is the peak food season, and the food consumption begins to drop in November, when the water temperature drops below 15 and enters hibernation.
In spring and autumn, the temperature is low, the feeding time is placed at 8 9 o'clock in the morning, during the middle of summer, the turtle is active in the morning and evening, and the bait should be 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the turtle swallows in the water when eating.
The amount of bait swallowed by the turtle is about 4% of its body weight, and it is fed every other day, and the residual food should be cleaned up in time after feeding to prevent harm caused by pollution. The growth of the turtle is related to the quality of feeding, and it is often fed animal bait, which can increase the weight by about 50 grams per month.

It's okay during the day and at night, but the turtle's routine changes with the sun, so it's best to feed it during the day.

Turtles are eating at night.
According to the turtle habits, the night is the time for the turtle to eat. Therefore, feeding the turtle at night is a better choice. There are some important things to know about feeding turtles:
One is that turtle seedlings need a lot of energy to grow, but the turtle seedlings have insufficient digestion ability, so during the turtle seedlings period, try to bask in the sun as much as possible. 30 minutes is enough, and after a long time, it will be sunburned, and in summer, it is dangerous to die. First, it is best not to feed turtle seedlings according to the season, but according to the water temperature in their turtle tank.
When the water temperature is 20-24 degrees, it should be fed once every 2-3 days. Eat enough every time. When the water temperature is 25 or higher, the turtle seedlings are fed twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and each time they are eight minutes full.
The turtle that has just arrived will not eat because it is not adapted to the environment, and the next time you feed it, put it in a tank of shallow water, throw the food away, and go away to see it eat after 30 minutes.
Don't overfeed the turtle at every meal, it will be swollen if you eat too much, just feed the baby turtle once a day, and the big turtle once every 2 days. Every time I feed a large amount of food like its head, I put them in another basin with water when feeding my baby turtles, the water can not pass the turtle's back, then replace the water in the original tank, and put it back in the tank after eating, so as to ensure the water quality. But sometimes it doesn't pull after 30 minutes after eating, we also put it back in the tank, don't give it too long to soak in dirty water, don't raise turtle water, don't use tap water directly, tap water must be dried for 2 days, or directly use cold boiled water, and the red worm that thing is fed as little as possible, although the turtle turtle likes to eat very much, but the red worm skin is too hard, it is difficult to digest.

Generally around April, when the weather warms up and the temperature lasts for 7 10 days and about 20 degrees, the baby turtle will begin to crawl continuously, no longer lying still, and you can take some small shrimp to feed it.
When the months get warmer, the hibernating tortoises begin to move. At this time, the first thing we need to do is to give the turtles who have been sleeping for a few months a warm bath, let them drink water for a long time, and replenish the water lost during hibernation. Within a week or two, they will start eating, moving, and spending time in the sun again.
Hibernation is important for tortoises. When the temperature drops below around 12 degrees, they begin to hibernate. In the north, it probably starts from the end of October to March of the following year. It is best not to hibernate in the first year of newborn turtles, and it is best not to hibernate in weak and sick turtles. >>>More

Turtles generally begin to hibernate in late October (Shanghai area), depending on the temperature, and will enter hibernation at 13 degrees Celsius. Now you should give them more food, because my little ones seem to be eating a little less, so hurry up. Don't forget to change the water and get in the sun during the hibernation phase. >>>More
As long as there is no shortage of water and food, there is no problem, and occasionally give some calcium tablets.
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
