How much food the grass tortoises feed depends on their size and the temperature at that time. When the temperature is suitable, the larger grass turtles usually feed them once every 3-4 days, and each time they are fed with turtle food about the same size as their heads. If they are small, they are usually fed once a day, 2-3 grains of turtle food each time. When the temperature is not suitable, such as winter, there is no need to feed them. They are usually fed in the morning or at noon every day.
How much food does the grass turtle feed and when does it feed?

1. the amount of food

fed to the grass turtle is not the same at any time and in any state, which depends on their size and the temperature at that time. When the temperature is suitable, specifically, when the temperature is above 16 degrees Celsius, fully developed and relatively large adult turtles need to be fed once every 3-4 days, each time with turtle food about the size of their heads. At this point, they are fully developed, and when they are full, they will not eat any more. If you feed too much, it will pollute the water.

If you raise young turtles that are not fully developed and are relatively small, you need to feed them once a day, 2-3 grains of turtle food each time. At this time, they are in the development period and need more energy. If they are not fed for a long time, their growth and development will be affected. When the temperature is not suitable, for example, in winter, when the temperature is below 15 C, they will go into hibernation and do not need to be fed.

2. when to feed the grass

turtle, it is better to choose the morning or noon every day. In the early morning and at noon, the temperature is higher, their activity is higher, and they have more desire to eat, so they can eat more. At night, when the temperature is lower, they don't like to eat. In addition, they are likely to fall asleep at night, and feeding at this time will disturb their normal rest.
