Do ? Mealworms can be fed to snapping turtles. Mealworms are rich in nutrients and have a variety of trace elements. Feeding this food to snapping turtles can make them grow better. Choosing mealworms is also skillful. Some mealworms are darker, while others are lighter. Most of the dark-colored mealworms are disease insects, which can not be fed to snapping turtles. When feeding snapping turtles, be sure to choose light-colored mealworms, preferably white mealworms that shed their skin soon, which have the highest nutritional value. The amount of feeding each time should not be too much. Feeding them in small quantities and many times can reduce the residue of mealworms in the water and effectively prevent the water from being polluted by rotten residual bait.
. It is reasonable to feed mealworms to snapping turtles 3-4 times a week. Mealworms are not easily digested, and if they are fed too much, they can easily cause indigestion in snapping turtles. When feeding snapping turtles, we should pay attention not only to feeding mealworms, but also to feeding them alternately with other kinds of bait. Breeders can feed them with carrots and other plant foods to ensure that the nutritional intake of snapping turtles is more diverse, which is conducive to their healthy growth.
