How to start eating a 2 cm grass turtle baby turtle After the grass turtle is born, the breeder should let them open their mouths to eat, and the simplest method can be used first, that is, to start eating naturally. Under the condition of ensuring comfortable environment, the breeder puts fresh shrimp or fish into water and waits for the turtle to eat by itself. This method is relatively simple and will not scare newborn turtles.
If grass turtles don't eat all the time, they can put the turtles that have already eaten in. As long as they see their companions eat, they will imitate them. This method is also relatively simple.
If the first two methods are tried without much effect, the breeder can tie the food with a clip or fishing line and shake it back and forth in front of the turtle. If the grass turtles dodge after being frightened, the breeders don't need to chase after them. After they recover, they will take the food 1 cm away from their eyes, shake it gently, and try several times more, and they will take the initiative to eat by themselves.
