Black-necked turtles can be raised artificially, and attention should be paid to the types of food in the process of breeding. Like most turtles, the black-necked turtle is also an omnivorous turtle, with a mixed diet and all kinds of food can be eaten. The most common is meat, which is also the favorite food of black-necked turtles. For example, insects, pork, duck meat, etc., can be fed to black-necked turtles after disinfection and mincing, which is more helpful to their growth and development. However, it should be noted that black-necked turtles should not be fed too much meat when they are in the juvenile stage, because their digestive system is not perfect at this time.
However, this is not the only food for black-necked turtles. Vegetables and fruits are also very necessary, because they are rich in vitamins. In addition, special turtle food can also be used as food for black-necked turtles. If they are busy and have no time to choose their food carefully, they can use turtle food instead. But generally speaking, turtle food should not be fed too much. Moreover, we need to pay attention to the reasonable collocation of various foods, and do not feed only one kind of food for a long time.
To feed the black-necked tortoise, you need to pay attention to the frequency of feeding. The feeding interval can be adjusted according to their growth rate. When they grow faster, they need more food, so they can be fed once a day. After they grow up, the growth rate will slow down, and then they can change to once every two days. In addition, it can also be adjusted according to the water temperature. If the temperature is relatively low, it can be controlled once every 2-3 days; In summer, when the temperature is relatively high, the appetite of black-necked turtles is better, and they can be fed once every 1-2 days.
