1. What do flame tortoises eat to turn red Flame tortoises have the gene of turning red, so whether they can turn red or not has a great relationship with the breeding the day after tomorrow. Among them, feeding is an important factor. If you want their carapace to turn red, you must ensure that the food you feed is sufficient and balanced. Animal feed can be used as staple food, and more snails, shellfish, red worms and other foods can be fed to help them supplement calcium. We should also feed more small fish, shrimps, carrots and other foods rich in astaxanthin to promote their synthesis of pigments. In addition to these, breeders regularly feed them some cabbage, rape, cabbage, cucumber, apple, banana and so on.
2. How to raise flame turtles to turn red1. Containers: If breeders want them to be bright in color, they should be raised in white containers, so that their hair color will be faster and their colors will be more bright.
2. Sunbathing: It is also necessary to increase the time of sunbathing, which can also help them synthesize pigments and promote their hair color. Breeders can build a balcony if they have the conditions, so that they can climb up and bask in the sun at any time.
3. Environmental stability: During the color development of flame turtles, breeders need to keep the breeding environment stable. It is best to control the water temperature at about 25 ℃, and keep the water quality clean and fresh, so that they can develop color better.
