Flower turtles have a wide range of feeding habits and are not picky about food. They can feed small fish, shrimps, red worms, mealworms, fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods. However, the turtle can not feed too much live bait in its infancy, because the digestive ability of the young turtle is weak, so it can feed more special turtle food. As adults, you can add some live baits such as lean meat, fish and shrimp, but make sure they are fresh. Also be careful not to feed food with salt, because salt will put a burden on their kidneys.
