In the process of breeding small snapping turtles, feeding is a more important aspect. In addition to feeding frequency and feeding amount, they also need to carefully choose the types of food for them. The diet of small snapping turtles is more complex, but relatively speaking, they prefer meat. Moreover, the meat itself contains more nutrients, which can promote the growth of small snapping turtles faster. Therefore, it is more appropriate to take meat as the staple food of small snapping turtles. Specifically, there are many kinds of meat, such as small fish, shrimp, shellfish, animal viscera and snail meat.
Of course, it is not appropriate to feed only meat, and you need to feed some other food at the same time. One of the more important ones is plants, and all kinds of vegetables in the home are available. Then there are some cereals, such as wheat, corn and so on. In this way, the nutrient elements are relatively rich.
After the small crocodile turtle changes a new environment, they will have a process of adaptation. During this stage, they will not eat. At this time, they need to be fed, and after they are fed, they will eat slowly. Generally speaking, small snapping turtles will take 3-5 days to adapt to the new environment, at this time do not worry about not eating harm to their body, generally 10 days and a half months do not eat will not endanger their lives. They can try to feed them after they have adapted for 5 days. Water temperature is an important factor. The water temperature is above 20 degrees, so they can eat. If they keep it at about 25 degrees, they will have a strong appetite.
