are omnivorous animals. It is difficult for young tortoises to swallow food, and their digestive ability is relatively weak. It requires the breeder to break the food into small pieces before feeding, which can not only help them digest, but also speed up their metabolism to a certain extent. If the tortoises are adults, they can be fed mainly with feed, supplemented by other foods, usually by scattering the feed on the surface of the water for them to eat. If you want to feed them with fruit, it's better to break it up. When sprinkling feed to the surface of the water, we should pay attention not to sprinkle too much, because it is easy to cause waste. They can be fed according to their daily appetite.
Generally, grass tortoises in their infancy must be fed every day, because they metabolize faster during this period and have higher requirements for food and nutrition. Therefore, they should be fed every day and the number of times they are fed should not be too few. Basically, they are fed 2 to 3 times a day. If it is an adult turtle, because the demand for food is not too great, it can be fed once every two days.
It is worth noting that young turtles need to change water frequently, because they eat a lot of food every day, so they excrete more, which can easily lead to water pollution. If the water is not changed in time, the water quality will deteriorate, which may cause them to grow poorly.
