do snapping turtles eat? Snapping turtles are omnivorous turtles. There are many kinds of food they can eat. Simply speaking, they are mainly divided into animal baits and plant baits. Snapping turtles prefer animal baits, especially small fish, shrimps, loaches, red worms, lean meat, animal viscera and so on. When feeding live baits, it is better for breeders to sterilize and disinfect first to avoid the infection of parasites or bacteria on snapping turtles.
Although snapping turtles are carnivorous, breeders also need to feed them with plant feed so that their nutrition can be balanced. Crocodile turtles can eat plant feed such as carrots, lettuce, cabbage, rice, millet, apples, bananas and so on. At ordinary times, you can occasionally feed some turtle food, but you can't feed it for a long time, and it's better to choose better quality turtle food.
? Snapping turtles grow faster when they are young, so they should be fed more food and more frequently. Young turtles can be fed 1-2 times a day, and it is best to feed them until they are 7-8% full each time. The digestive ability of adult snapping turtles will be weakened, and the demand for food will also be reduced. The breeder can feed them once every 1-2 days. If the snapping turtles are not active in feeding, they can also choose to feed them once every 2-3 days.
