Flame tortoises are omnivorous animals, and they can eat many kinds of food. Juvenile flame turtles like to eat some animal feed, and breeders can feed them some small fish, shrimp, earthworms, tadpoles, snails, red worms, snails, etc. These foods contain more nutrients, which can meet most of their daily needs. When they reach adulthood, their eating habits will gradually tend to be vegetarian. At this time, breeders can feed them more vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, rape, cabbage, apples and bananas. These foods contain more vitamins and trace elements, which can balance nutrition and enhance immunity.

Although flame turtles like different foods at different stages, breeders can't just decide according to their habits. In the process of feeding, they should ensure the diversity of foods so that they can grow healthier.
