Musk turtles eat fruits, and the fruits they often eat are apples, bananas and so on. These fruits contain vitamins and cellulose, among which vitamins can promote the absorption of nutrients in their bodies and promote their growth. Cellulose is an indigestible polysaccharide, which can promote their digestion. However, there are few nutrients in fruits, so they are not suitable for feeding them as staple food, and can only be fed as complementary food.
What else do musk turtles eatMusk turtles are omnivorous animals, and they can eat many things besides fruits. Their favorite food is meat. Because meat is rich in protein, it can promote their growth and development. Besides fruits, they often eat vegetarian food, which is some vegetables. Vegetables contain chlorophyll which is not found in fruits. In normal feeding, they can be fed as complementary food like fruits.
In addition to the above foods, they can also be fed turtle feed. Turtle feed is rich in nutrients and stored for a long time, which is very suitable for breeders who have no time. But it contains preservatives and is not suitable for long-term feeding. If breeders have time, it is best to feed them with a mixture of vegetarian and meat. This can make them grow and develop better.
