to feed the snapping turtle? The feeding amount of the snapping turtle should be judged according to their size. Usually, young snapping turtles are fed with turtle food as their staple food. Snapping turtles under 3 cm can be fed with 5 small grains of turtle food each time. When their size reaches 3-5 cm, they can be fed with 5-8 small grains of turtle food. When they grow to 5-8 centimeters, they can be fed with 5-8 medium grains of turtle food. More than 8 centimeters can be fed according to their size, usually one tenth of their size. Snapping turtles have a stronger digestive capacity than other species of turtles, so they can be fed relatively more, but if they eat poorly, they should also be fed relatively less.
? The feeding frequency of the snapping turtle is closely related to the water temperature. If the water temperature is above 24 ℃, the snapping turtle can be fed once every 1-2 days. If the water temperature is above 20 ℃ and below 24 ℃, the snapping turtle can be fed once every 2-3 days. If the water temperature is between 18-20 ℃, It can be fed once every 5-7 days. If the water temperature is below 18 C, you can stop feeding. Because the water temperature is too low, the digestive ability of snapping turtles will also be reduced, if they are fed again, it will lead to indigestion, easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
