Snapping turtles should not be fed too frequently, usually once every other day. Young turtles need to grow and develop, and they need more food and nutrition, so they can be fed once a day. Adult snapping turtles don't need so much food that they don't need to be fed every day. They can be fed once every two or three days. Don't feed too much at a time, or the snapping turtle will eat too much. When they eat too much, they will basically remain motionless, if there is such a performance, do not feed again.

of snapping turtles is different from that of other turtles, usually two to three times.
