1. How to feed the crocodile tortoise seedlings When the crocodile tortoise seedlings are born, there is not much food to eat, so the breeder can feed more high-quality tortoise food, cooked egg yolk or cooked millet to ensure their adequate nutrition. When they grow to 50 days, they can start feeding live bait. They prefer live animals. Breeders can tie up chopped fish and shrimp meat with fishing lines and shake them back and forth in front of them. After they are born for 3 months, they can be fed some insect foods, such as red worms, bread worms, earthworms, cockroaches and so on.
The digestive ability of small snapping turtles is not very good, so the feeding frequency does not need to be too high. Generally, if the water temperature is suitable, it can be done once a day. If the temperature is low, it can be fed once every 2-3 days. Two-thirds of the size of the head can be fed at a time.
