This animal's feeding habits are more miscellaneous, can eat a lot of things, but do not feed food containing salt, otherwise it can not metabolize, but also may cause body edema. In addition, because of its strong hunger tolerance, it does not need to be fed every day, especially adult turtles, which can not starve to death even if they are fed once every three or five days.
1. Choose food: First of all, choose the right food to feed the tortoise. The most commonly used food is tortoise food. The general brand of tortoise food will have different characteristics according to the type of tortoise, and will also add detailed feeding amount and feeding frequency. If you want the turtle to eat better, you can regularly add some fish, shrimp and meat, as well as fruit and calcium powder.
2. Feeding method: Because turtles live in water most of the time, food is usually thrown into the water. Feeding should be done regularly and quantitatively, when the time comes, it will wait to eat, and then feed it at this time. If it behaves lazily, it may not have been digested, or it may be affected by temperature or disease, and it will not be fed at this time, so it will not be fed temporarily.
3. Precautions: As mentioned above, the tortoise eats in the water. Not only that, it also defecates in the water, so the water quality is easy to deteriorate. Once the water is polluted, the tortoise's health will be threatened. Therefore, after each feeding, it is necessary to clean up the food residues that it has not finished eating, and it is best to change the water for it.
