When breeding red-faced egg turtles, feeding them is a very important task. From the point of view of habits and characteristics, the red-faced egg turtle is a kind of omnivorous turtle species, they can eat many kinds of food. However, judging from their preferences, they will prefer meat. Therefore, it is more appropriate to take meat as their staple food. Specifically, there are many kinds of meat, such as small fish, shrimp, insects and all kinds of mollusks. Among them, red shrimp species will contain astaxanthin, which is very helpful to the hair color of red-faced egg turtles, and special attention should be paid to this kind of food.
Of course, feeding only meat is not enough. Raise them in the family, can also feed them some vegetables and fruits. However, these two kinds of food can only be used as supplementary food, can not be fed too much. When feeding, we should pay special attention to the reasonable combination of meat and vegetarian food. Even meat can not be fed only one kind for a long time to avoid their anorexia. Moreover, in the juvenile stage, their digestive function may not be perfect, at this time, they can feed less meat and use special turtle feed as their food.
To feed the red-faced egg turtle, we need to pay attention to the frequency. Generally speaking, it can be fed once every 1-2 days. In the juvenile stage, they are growing fast and can be taken once a day at this time. After adulthood, it can be changed to about once every two days. Although the feeding interval can be longer, it should be noted that with the increase of their size, the feeding amount also needs to be increased, which needs to be adjusted appropriately.
