    Yes, as long as the water temperature is constant, above 22 degrees, the baby turtles will eat, turtle food, meat, fish, shrimp, snails, bread worms.

    There are also some flying insects and earthworms.

    Grasshoppers and other things are food that turtles can grow up safely, as long as the water temperature is enough and the turtles are hungry, they can eat it. Not eating proves that it is not particularly hungry. After all, the turtle is hungry for a month or two.

    It's just that some turtles are carnivorous, (in fact, there are very few real omnivorous turtles, most of them are carnivorous), and they will not eat turtle food if they are not particularly hungry, after all, the taste of turtle food is not as delicious as the taste of meat. Like a flame turtle.

    The herbivorous turtle has a lot of leaves.

    First find out what kind of turtle you are, and feed it, this can be done. You can also send ** to me.

    Long-term feeding of Brazilian tortoise food may cause them to become picky eaters and have no benefit for their physical growth.

    In addition, some turtle foods are deficient in minerals and other substances, and if only turtle food is fed for a long time, it may lead to nutritional deficiencies in Brazilian turtles. Therefore, it is recommended that in the process of feeding Brazilian tortoises, in addition to providing turtle food, they can also be provided with some other food, such as bananas, fish, vegetables, etc. These foods provide more nutrients and help maintain the health of the Brazilian tortoise.

    In addition, if Brazilian tortoises only eat turtle food for a long time, it may cause their growth rate to slow down. Therefore, to ensure that Brazilian turtles are adequately nourished, it is advisable to change their food types regularly to ensure that they are fully nourished.

    In fact, many turtle foods are also scientifically matched in nutrition, and it is still okay.

    But diversification is still better, and something else can be given.

    There is no fixed amount of Brazilian tortoise, and a single feeding amount of about 5% to 10% of body weight is sufficient. The feeding interval is generally once every two to three days, and the water should be cleaned in time after feeding to avoid water pollution caused by food and cause health hazards.

    Don't eat too much at once, resulting in a few days without bowel movements, or too much bowel movement at one time, resulting in intestinal health risks. It is necessary to provide a reasonable ratio according to the actual situation.

    The Brazilian turtle can also be fed some small fish, small shrimp, or raw lean meat, if the Brazilian turtle raised at home is very small, one will cut the food small, and then feed, remember not to feed the processed meat, not only will affect the normal digestion of the Brazilian turtle, but also very susceptible to some diseases.
