1. Animal feed: Although crocodile turtles are omnivorous turtles, they prefer animal feed. Breeders can usually feed them more small fish, shrimp, lean meat, animal viscera, red worms, cockroaches, bread worms and other foods. The nutrients in these foods can meet their growth and development needs. However, animal feed is easy to carry parasites or bacteria, so breeders need sterilization in advance.
2. Plant feed: Although crocodile turtles are not interested in plant feed, breeders should feed them regularly to avoid their single nutrition. The plant feed suitable for crocodile turtles is kohlrabi, lettuce, cucumber, lettuce, apple, banana, watermelon, pear and so on. These foods contain a lot of vitamins and trace elements, which can ensure the nutritional balance of crocodile turtles.
3. Synthetic feed: If you don't have time at ordinary times, you can also use synthetic feed as the staple food. Although synthetic feed is rich in nutrition, it is not nutritious enough, so breeders cannot feed it for a long time.
2. How often do crocodile turtles feedCrocodile turtles can be fed 1-2 times a day in their infancy, because they are in the golden age of growth and development at this time, and their demand for food is relatively large. When they reach adulthood, their growth rate will slow down, and breeders can feed them 2-3 times a week. However, they are larger in size as adults, so breeders need to increase their feeding.
