Can ? Turtles can't eat cat food and dog food. The nutritional structure of cat food and dog food is different from that of turtle food, so there will be some indigestible things after eating, so it's better to feed it special turtle food. If you run out of turtle food, you can wait until you buy it back before feeding it. This animal has a strong hunger tolerance. It's all right if you don't eat for a few weeks. If you really want to feed it, you can also use raw fish, but don't feed too much at a time.
1. Choice of feed: Tortoises are omnivorous animals. There are many acceptable foods, but usually meat is the main food. Only a few tortoises like to eat vegetarian food. The choice of meat is generally fish and shrimp meat, beef and mutton can also be used, but can not feed too fat meat. In addition, it can be matched with vegetables, melons and fruits to ensure balanced nutrition.
2. Feeding frequency: If it is a young turtle, it is best to feed it once a day, so that it can grow rapidly, but also contribute to the accumulation of nutrients. If it is an adult turtle, feeding does not need to be so frequent, it can be fed once every two or three days, each time the amount of food does not need to be too large, the volume adds up to about the same size as its head.
3, pay attention to clean up: every time after feeding the turtle, pay attention to clean up, it is best to change the water. Because the unfinished food is soaked in water, it is easy to breed bacteria, which will also endanger the health of turtles, so we must clean up in time, otherwise it will increase the risk of disease.
