To feed domestic turtles, first of all, we should choose the right feed, then pay attention to the number of feeding, and do a good job of cleaning up after feeding, and stop feeding if they are dormant in winter. Because tortoises are omnivorous animals, they can eat a lot of food, but they should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables. Young tortoises should be fed once a day, and adult tortoises should be fed once every two or three days. After each feeding, they should pay attention to changing water and cleaning out the food residues in the water.
1. the choice
of feed is usually domestic turtles are grass turtles or Brazilian turtles, no matter which kind is omnivorous animals, can accept a wide range of food, but also have preferences, usually this kind of turtles prefer to eat meat, so feeding should be based on animal feed, but for the sake of comprehensive nutrition, regular vegetables are needed.
If the tortoise is still a young tortoise, it needs to be fed once a day. If it is an adult tortoise, it does not need to be fed too frequently. It can be fed once every two or three days. If it is fed too much, it will grow too fast and appear deformed before it has time to change its armor. In addition, the amount of food fed each time should be well controlled, usually about the size of the turtle's head. 3. Pay attention to cleaning
. Because the tortoise eats in the water, it is inevitable that there will be some unfinished food residues left in it. Therefore, after each feeding, it is necessary to change the water and clean up the food residues, so as to keep the water clean and hygienic, so as to prevent pollution of the water and affect the health of the tortoise.
The tortoise will enter a state of hibernation in winter, when it will not eat, so it needs to stop feeding. However, in order to ensure that it has enough nutrients to accumulate, it needs to increase feeding after autumn, twice a day, so that it has enough energy to survive the winter.
