? Musk turtles eat small fish, but they can only eat smaller fish. Breeders need to clean up before feeding them small fish, preferably remove the tail and head, and then sterilize, disinfect and cut them off before feeding. If possible, it can be frozen in the refrigerator for a period of time before feeding. Because most small fish live in the wild, there will be a lot of bacteria and parasites on their bodies. Moreover, feeding small fish can easily pollute the water quality, resulting in the deterioration and odor of the water in the fish tank. Although small fish are helpful to the growth and development of musk turtles, breeders should not feed only this kind of food for a long time, otherwise it will cause the problem of single feeding habits.
? If you want musk turtles to grow fast, you need to feed more nutritious food. You can feed more red worms, earthworms, red nematodes, mealworms, lean meat, shrimp, small fish and so on, which can promote their growth and development. Young turtles do not need to be fed too much at a time, but they can be fed twice a day. This can not only improve their growth rate, but also will not cause a burden on their intestines and stomach. If you want them to grow faster, you can raise the water temperature, because if the water temperature is high, it can improve their appetite and metabolism, and the growth rate will naturally be faster.
