The hair color of flame turtles is affected by the way of later breeding and the food fed. The main reason for this turtle's hair color is the influence of genes and external environment, such as environment and diet. Hair color feed can promote the hair color of flame turtle, but this method is not particularly recommended.

When you want to feed this turtle hair color, you should pay attention to the reasonable collocation of meat and vegetables, and when choosing animal feed, you should pay attention to choosing feed containing astaxanthin, such as bumper shrimp, bread worm, red nematode, etc., and you can also properly feed some plant feed. Moreover, when choosing to feed, we should pay attention to the variety of food, not only one kind, but also the nutrition collocation. Feeding frequency should not be too frequent, roughly once a day or once every two days. Feeding too fast can also affect hair color.

When flame turtles eat vegetables, they can feed some common vegetables, such as lettuce, oilseed vegetables and so on. This kind of turtle likes to eat vegetables, and is not picky eaters. As long as there are fresh green vegetable leaves, they will come to the door, such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, amaranth, sweet potato leaves and so on. In addition, sweet potato leaves are also beneficial to the color development of flame turtles. If you want to help them develop color, you can appropriately increase the amount of sweet potato leaves in the feed. Besides eating vegetable leaves, they also like to eat duckweed, water hyacinth and other aquatic plants.
