Flower turtles like to eat small fish, shrimp, mealworms and other meat, but also like to eat some tender leaves of vegetables and fresh fruits. In order to have a balanced nutrition, the breeder should also feed the turtle together with the turtle food. Flower turtles have mixed feeding habits, so other foods can also be fed, but be careful not to feed stale food, because stale food can cause gastrointestinal diseases. They should not be fed with salt, because salt will put a burden on their kidneys.

1. what

do turtles like to eat? Turtles have a wide range of feeding habits. When they are young, they prefer to eat animal feed. Generally, they prefer to eat fresh fish and shrimp meat, red worms, mealworms, etc. But when they are young, their gastrointestinal function is weak. It is better for breeders to feed more turtle food. If they are very resistant to turtle food, You can feed less animal feed and more plant feed.

Adult turtles are not so fond of meat, like to eat some tender leaves of vegetables or fruits, but also like to eat some carrots, pumpkins, corn, wheat and other grains. Although the tortoises will eat anything, remember not to feed them with salt, because salt can damage their kidneys. Also try not to feed cooked meat, because they do not like to eat crude fiber food.

2. how long does it take to feed

the tortoise? The tortoise has a large appetite. It is better for the breeder to feed the tortoise regularly and quantitatively. Under normal circumstances, the young tortoise is fed 2-3 times a day. The young tortoise should be fed as little as possible with live bait and more with tortoise food. Adult tortoises can be fed 2-3 times a week, because at this time their appetite is already very large, so feeding once can persist for a longer time, adult tortoises can be fed more vegetable leaves, fresh fruits or grains.
