do snapping turtles eat in a day? The amount of food they eat depends on their size. If they are young turtles, they can be fed twice a day, 5-8 grains of turtle food each time. Because they can't eat live bait at this time and have a small appetite, they should be fed less, but more frequently. Adult snapping turtles are fed once every two days, and the amount of feeding each time can be determined by the size of the head, which is usually two-thirds of the head volume. Usually do not raise an absolute number of snapping turtles, because the appetite of snapping turtles will change with the surrounding environment, so the breeder needs to decide the amount of feeding each time according to the feeding situation of snapping turtles.
snapping turtles is adjusted according to their age. Generally, the feeding frequency of underage snapping turtles is high, about twice a day, and 8-9 times full each time. Because young turtles grow faster and need more food, they need to be fed more food to make them grow better. Adult snapping turtles basically stop growing, and at this time they don't need to be fed every day, about 2-3 times a week. In addition to the age factor, the breeder also needs to decide the frequency of feeding according to the temperature. If the temperature is high, it can be appropriate to feed once more. If the temperature is low, it can reduce the amount of feeding or reduce the number of feeding.
