When raising snapping turtles, a reasonable choice of food is an important link. Snapping turtle is an omnivorous animal, they can eat a wide range of food, food types are more. Snapping turtle food roughly: animal bait and plant bait two categories. Crocodile turtles like meat best, especially live food, such as small fish, shrimp, loach and so on. Also, they like to eat fresh lean meat and animal viscera. If you feed live food, it is best to disinfect first, then cut up and feed again.
Although snapping turtles like to eat meat, they should also pay attention to balanced nutrition and feed them with meat and vegetables. Crocodile turtles also have a lot of plant food, vegetables such as lettuce, radish and so on; Cereals such as rice, paddy, etc.; There are also fruits such as apples, bananas and so on. Also, if you are usually busy, you can also feed some turtle feed and dog food. However, better quality feed should be purchased and the feeding time should not be too long.
During the period of raising snapping turtles, the feeding frequency must be well controlled, because whether the feeding frequency is appropriate or not directly affects their growth and development.
During the juvenile period of snapping turtles, they are in the period of growth and development, during which they grow faster and need to be fed once a day. However, the amount of feeding should not be too much, so as not to overfeed, each feeding so that they are at seven or eight full is the most appropriate. Snapping turtles grow to adulthood, has matured, their growth rate slowed down, 2-3 days feeding once is better. However, because the adult crocodile turtle is larger, so the amount of feeding should be relatively increased.
