The tortoise's hunger tolerance is relatively strong, especially in the hibernation period, it can not eat for several months. If they are raised in peacetime, they can usually starve for a month or two, but if they are raised more, they will bite their tails for a long time without feeding, which will lead to their fighting with each other. Under normal circumstances, every two to three days to feed it once, usually do not feed, but also to provide clean drinking water.
1. Feed selection: The tortoise is an omnivorous animal with a wide range of food habits, but it often prefers animal feed. The common foods are small fish, shrimp, insects, snail meat, clam meat, etc. If you feed plants, you can feed duckweed, tender leaves, rice, wheat grains, etc. It should be noted that the food needs to be processed before feeding. If it is meat, it is often cut up before feeding, fish to remove fish bones, shrimp is to remove the head, so as not to stick its throat. Frozen food needs to be thawed until the temperature and water temperature are the same.
2, feeding time: turtles in different seasons, appetite is not the same, the higher the temperature, they eat more. Usually in the summer need to feed once a day, autumn can be fed once a few days, winter hibernation, then do not feed. In addition, feeding in summer is generally in the morning or afternoon, and feeding in other seasons can be at noon.
3. Food intake: The age of turtles is different, and their food intake is not fixed. However, there is a standard, that is, twice the amount of the head. If they are fed too much for a long time, it is easy for them to suffer from gastroenteritis and other diseases, which is harmful to their health.
