When the Buddha crocodile turtle just bought it home, it should wait for a few days before trying to feed it after they adapt to the new environment. During their adaptation, breeders need to keep the environment quiet. If conditions permit, they can be placed in a quiet and ventilated environment. Also ensure that the water temperature is around 25 ℃. Feeding Buddha crocodile turtles, the water level should not be too high, and the specific height can be determined according to their body shape. Generally, the water level is 10 cm higher than the carapace.
After the snapping turtles adapt to the new environment, the breeder can feed them. For the first time, they can choose their favorite small fish or shrimp. The breeder can first put the food into water or a drying table to see if they can take the initiative to eat. If they don't eat, they can wait for a few days, or they can clamp the food with fishing line or chopsticks and shake it back and forth in front of them, which can stimulate their predation ability.
