Musk turtles like to eat sinking feed, because they are underwater activities, so feeding sinking feed is more in line with their habits. But if the breeder wants them to eat the floating feed, they can be specially trained for a few days. They can be lured to swim to the surface of the water with food and then fed, and they can be trained successfully in about a week. The musk tortoise has a mixed diet and eats all kinds of food, but it prefers animal feed.
Does the musk turtle eat floating feed or sinking feed? What does it like to eat?

1. Do musk turtles eat floating feed or sinking feed

? Musk turtles eat sinking feed, because they usually feed and move underwater. If they are fed with floating feed, they are likely not to eat or see food directly, so it is best to feed musk turtles with sinking feed. Of course, after a period of training, they will also eat the floating feed. If the breeder wants them to eat the floating feed, he can use tweezers to clamp the food and guide them to climb to the surface of the water to eat. After a few times of training, they will get used to eating the floating feed.

2. What

do musk turtles like to eat? Besides synthetic feed, musk turtles like animal feed most. They like to eat insects, snails, crayfish and so on in the wild, because food in the wild is scarce, and they can catch less food. Home feeding can feed some beef, chicken breast, animal viscera, small fish, shrimp, etc. These foods are high in protein and fat, which can meet most of their daily nutritional needs. Although they like to eat animal feed, breeders can not feed only this kind of feed for a long time, otherwise it will cause their single nutrition. It is also necessary to feed some vegetables and fruits regularly to supplement vitamins and ensure balanced nutrition.
