Young pig-nosed turtles can be fed twice a day until they are 80% full. Because young turtles have a large demand for food, and they need more nutrition for their growth and development, it is better to feed young turtles with high-nutrition animal feed. Adult pig-nosed turtles can be fed once every 1-2 days until they are 70% full. Because the adult pig-nosed turtle no longer grows, the demand for food will be reduced, and the breeder can feed more vegetables and fruits, which are easy to digest.
1. pig-nosed turtles should be fed once a few days. How
often pig-nosed turtles should be fed depends on their size and temperature. If they are pig-nosed turtles, the frequency of feeding should be higher, preferably twice a day. Because pig-nosed turtles have strong digestive ability, and they are at a critical stage of growth and development, the demand for food and nutrition is the highest, so the feeding frequency needs to be higher.
If it is an adult pig-nosed turtle, it can be fed once every 1-2 days, or once every 3 days if the feeding situation is not ideal. Because adult pig-nosed turtles do not develop any more, and their digestive capacity gradually decreases, the frequency of feeding needs to be reduced.
Young pig-nosed turtles can be fed more fish, shrimp, beef, animal viscera, crickets, red worms, mealworms and other animal feed, because animal feed contains a lot of protein and fat, which can provide nutrition for their growth and development. However, when feeding live baits, they need to be sterilized and disinfected to prevent them from being infected with parasites and bacteria. Adult pig-nosed turtles can be fed more carrots, tomatoes, celery, cabbage, cucumbers, watermelons, apples, bananas, pears, etc. These foods contain a variety of vitamins, which can enhance immunity, improve resistance, and are easier to digest, and will not burden the intestines and stomach.
