To breed yellow-headed side-necked turtles, we need to pay attention to the feeding problem and choose the right food. Although the yellow-headed side-neck turtle is an omnivorous turtle, it can eat a variety of foods, but overall they still prefer to eat vegetarian food, so they can eat vegetarian food as a staple food. Wild yellow-headed side-neck turtles mainly eat some plants in the water, such as aquatic plants and algae.
If they are raised in captivity, they can use vegetables as their food. Vegetables are also rich in nutrients, especially vitamins, which are very helpful to the growth of yellow-headed side-neck turtles. Specifically, there are many kinds of vegetables, such as kale, zucchini, cabbage and so on, which are basically all the yellow-headed side-neck turtles like to eat. Some vegetables are not suitable, such as spinach and lettuce. Which vegetables to feed can be decided according to the preferences of yellow-headed side-neck turtles, because different individuals like to eat different vegetables. You can feed them different vegetables and see which one they are more interested in.
In addition to feeding vegetables to the yellow-headed side-necked turtle, you can also feed some fruit. Fruits are also rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C. There are many kinds of terrapins that can be fed, such as bananas, apples, grapes and so on. When feeding them, they do not need too much fruit, nor do they need to feed apples every day, so they can eat fruit as a snack. In addition to fruits, we usually have to feed a proper amount of meat, because it contains more protein, such as small fish, pork and so on.
