Razor turtles have a wide range of food habits and are not picky eaters. They can eat crustaceans such as insects, snails, clams, amphibians and some aquatic plants. They prefer carnivorous foods, such as bread worms, chopped fresh fish, shrimp or some animal meat, such as pork, beef, liver, etc. Sometimes they also eat synthetic turtle food, mainly including pellet feed and dried shrimp. You can also feed some dark vegetables when feeding. Wild razor turtles living in the natural environment like to eat some small fish, shrimps, snails, earthworms and young frogs, and occasionally eat some aquatic plants and young leaves, stems and buds of some plants.

Razor turtles are carnivorous turtles, and the amount of vegetables and fruits they eat is not large. Generally, some pumpkins, bananas, apples, water spinach, Chinese cabbage, cucumbers, oilseed vegetables, sweet potato leaves, seaweed flowers, water bamboo and so on can be properly fed. They are omnivorous turtles, highly adaptable and not picky eaters. Basically, they will eat the leaves of fresh green vegetables.

Pay attention to the reasonable collocation of meat and vegetables when feeding. Carnivorous feed can mainly be fish and shrimp, and vegetarian feed can mainly be different kinds of aquatic plants and vegetables. When feeding shrimp, pay attention to remove the shrimp head and keep the shrimp shell. The shrimp shell can provide enough calcium, but there are too many dirty things in the shrimp head. When feeding, we should pay attention to matching a variety of foods, and do not feed the same food for a long time, so as to ensure that the turtle's food is reasonably matched and balanced in nutrition.
