Flower turtles eat raw meat, turtle food, vegetables and other foods. Flower turtles are omnivorous animals, so they can eat a variety of food. It should be ensured that their bait is rich and varied to provide comprehensive nutrition. Young turtles can be fed turtle food because their intestines and stomach are very fragile. If you feed raw meat directly, you may not be able to digest it, and you need to feed meat gradually. Adult turtles can be fed meat and vegetables, but food residues need to be cleaned up in time.

1. what

do turtles eat? Turtles are omnivorous animals. They can eat a lot of food, such as animal liver, raw meat, vegetables, turtle food and so on. The intestines and stomach of young turtles are not good, and they need to be fed with turtle food, otherwise it is likely to burden their intestines and stomach. Adult turtles can be fed raw meat, animal liver, turtle food and so on. At this time, turtle food can be used as the staple food, and other baits can be used as supplementary food. However, it should be noted that the residue of animal liver can easily pollute the water quality, thus breeding a large number of bacteria. Therefore, their residues should be fished out of the fish tank in time.

2. when to feed

the tortoise, we should feed the tortoise scientifically, and we can choose to feed a small number of times. For young turtles, they can be fed once a day to provide them with the nutrients they need for growth and development. Adult tortoises can be fed two to three times a week. Do not feed them immediately

when they have just been moved to a new environment. Because they don't eat at first, it's better to feed them after they pass their feces. The time of feeding should be decided according to the climate. When the temperature is low in autumn and winter, you can choose to feed from 9 to 10 in the morning. In spring and summer, when the temperature is higher, feeding can be carried out from 4 to 5 P. m.
