? Tortoises can't eat salt. Such animals are unable to metabolize salt, and the accumulation of salt in the body can lead to internal organ failure, manifested as swelling of the limbs, and even death. In addition to not feeding food containing salt, do not put it in salt water, if you want to sterilize and disinfect, it can be exposed to the sun every day, only in the case of adequate water intake, it will not drink water, otherwise soaking in salt water will also be risky.
1. Choice of feed: The tortoise is an omnivorous animal. It can eat a lot of food, but not everything. Generally, tortoises prefer to eat animal feed, but for their health, they still need to match some vegetables, melons and fruits, and if the calcium in the food is insufficient, they need to add calcium powder regularly.
2. Feeding frequency: It is not necessary to feed the tortoise every day. It is not good to feed the tortoise too frequently, which will affect its growth rate. Generally two or three days can be fed, but also to control the amount of food, if it is turtle food, a feeding amount adds up to the same size as its head on the line.
3. Change the water and clean up: After each feeding, the turtle needs to change the water and clean up the food and excrement that has not been eaten. Because the tortoise is immersed in water for a long time, poor water quality will lead to its illness, so by changing water and cleaning, the water quality can be better maintained, thus ensuring the health of the tortoise.
