What do yellow-fronted box turtles eat When breeding yellow-fronted box turtles, feeding them is an important task. They are an omnivorous species of tortoise, and they can eat all kinds of food. However, in general, they prefer meat, and meat contains more nutrients, especially protein and other nutrients. There are many kinds of meat, such as fish and shrimp, earthworms, yellow mealworms, suckling mice and so on. Meat can be used as a staple food for yellow-fronted box turtles, which can be cut up and fed.
However, it is not possible to feed only meat, which will lack some nutrition. In order to balance nutrition, we need to feed some vegetables, such as tomatoes, pumpkins and so on, pay attention to the need to cook pumpkins when feeding; And some fruits, such as bananas, apples and so on. Vegetables and fruits can be fed as their non-staple food, not too much.
When feeding yellow-fronted box turtles, we also need to pay attention to the frequency. The frequency of feeding can be reasonably adjusted according to their age. When the yellow-fronted box turtle is still relatively small, that is, in the turtle seedling stage, their growth rate is relatively fast, at this time feeding can be 1-2 days, do not feed for a long time, otherwise it may affect the growth rate of the turtle. However, when the yellow-fronted box turtle has grown up, it can be changed to 2-3 days. At this time, although the frequency of feeding is reduced, considering their size, the amount of feeding needs to be adjusted according to their size.
