One of the important tasks of raising doughnut turtles is to feed them. When feeding, they need to choose their food reasonably, and the type of food has a great impact on their development speed. One of the most common types of food is animal feed, which can be used as the main food. Specifically, there are many kinds, such as fish and shrimp, shellfish, lean pork and so on. Among all animal feeds, the best kind of food is fish and shrimp, because the protein contained in them is easily absorbed by doughnut turtles, and the calcium contained in them can promote the growth and development of doughnut turtles.
In addition, it is not appropriate to feed only meat food, and some plant food is needed. Donut turtles in the wild will eat some algae in the water, which can also be fed to them in captivity, but they are more common in vegetables at home. Moreover, if you are occasionally busy, you can also feed some turtle feed appropriately, but you must choose high quality, otherwise it may cause harm to their health.
To feed the doughnut turtle, you have to pay special attention to the feeding interval. In general, the frequency of feeding can be adjusted according to their growth rate. The growth rate of young turtles is relatively fast, especially in the first year, they can grow a lot in a year, at this time they need to provide adequate and nutritious food, preferably fed every day. After they become adults, their growth rate will slow down, and at this time they can change to once every 2-3 days. Moreover, the water temperature will also affect their appetite, when the water temperature is higher, the feeding interval can be shortened appropriately.
