Special attention should be paid to the feeding of the yellow-headed side-necked turtle, and the frequency of feeding is an important aspect. First of all, the frequency of feeding can be adjusted according to their growth rate, feeding more frequently when they grow faster, and feeding longer intervals when they grow slower. Specifically, when the yellow-headed side-necked turtle is in the juvenile stage, the growth and development speed is relatively fast, and it can be fed every day at this time. When they are adult and their body length has been fixed, they can be fed once every two days.
In addition, the frequency of feeding can also be adjusted according to the water temperature, because the water temperature will also affect the appetite of the yellow-headed side-neck turtle to a certain extent. Therefore, if in summer, the temperature is relatively high at this time, the appetite of yellow-headed side-neck turtles will be better, this season is best to feed every day.
To feed the yellow-headed side-necked turtle, you also need to pay attention to the amount of feeding. Specifically, the amount of feeding can be adjusted according to their size. When they are still relatively small, their food intake is relatively small, and they can not feed too much at this time. As they grow in size, the amount of food they need to be fed increases. In addition, the feeding amount can also be adjusted according to the water temperature. When the water temperature is relatively high, their appetite will be relatively good, at this time can be fed a little more. However, in general, try not to overfeed each time, so as to avoid the phenomenon of overfeeding and affect their health.
