It is normal for flame turtles to eat vegetables but not turtle food. Although they are omnivorous turtles, their eating habits will be vegetarian when they are adults, and they like to eat some vegetables, fruits and other foods, so they will be less interested in turtle food.

If breeders want them to eat more turtle food, they can stop eating for a few days. When they are hungry, they should feed some turtle food, but the amount of feeding should not be too large. Because turtle food is synthetic feed, it is not easy to digest. After they finish eating turtle food, they are fed some plant feed to make them full. If the flame turtle still doesn't eat turtle food after hunger, it may be because the turtle food chosen by the breeder doesn't meet their appetite, so you can change the feed first and try again.

Flame turtles do not have high requirements for food. Breeders can choose to feed them with animal feed and plant feed in their infancy, which can promote their growth and development and ensure balanced nutrition. When they are adults, breeders can feed them with plant feed as staple food and animal feed as auxiliary food.

The flame tortoise in its infancy has a great demand for food, so the breeder can feed it once a day, and it is best to feed it 80% full every time. As an adult, the demand for food and nutrition will decrease, and the breeder can feed it once every 2-3 days.
