Because they are small in size and have a small appetite, they have a strong digestive capacity and a high demand for food and nutrients. Breeders need to feed them a small number of times to make them grow healthier. Adult pig-nosed turtles can be fed once every 1-2 days, and once a day in summer when the temperature is high. If the temperature is low in winter, it can be fed once every three days. If the feeding situation is not good, the feeding time can also be relatively extended.
