The breeding snapping turtle needs to pay attention to the feeding problem, and the reasonable selection of food types is an important task. Although snapping turtles are omnivorous and not picky eaters, different food types have different effects on their growth rate, and they need to choose the most nutritious food so that they can grow well. Snapping turtles are the most carnivorous turtles, and they prefer to eat alive. Live food grows well, such as live fish, live shrimp, earthworms and so on. Also, fresh lean meat and animal viscera can be used.
Because the snapping turtle is an animal with a wide range of food habits, if you want the snapping turtle to grow well, you should pay attention to the diversification of food, and you can also feed some plant food. Plant foods are: vegetables such as cabbage, radish and so on; Cereals such as rice, paddy, etc.; Fruits such as bananas, apples, etc. In short, do not feed a single, to a variety of food to feed in turn, the only way for snapping turtles to grow well.
When breeding snapping turtles, if you want them to grow well, the frequency of feeding is a very important factor. The crocodile turtle's juvenile period, because it is in the growth and development period, at this time the growth rate will be faster, generally feeding once a day is more appropriate. By the time alligator snapping turtles reach adulthood, their growth slows and they can be fed two to three times a week.
However, in the winter when the snapping turtle hibernates, do not feed, after hibernation, when the water temperature is constant above 20 degrees, then feed. Don't feed them too much at the end of hibernation, or they may not be able to digest.
