Yellow-headed side-necked turtles have miscellaneous feeding habits, and there are many kinds of food they can eat, but they prefer plant-based feed, so breeders can use plant-based feed as staple food and animal-based feed as auxiliary to feed them. Here are some foods suitable for yellow-headed side-necked turtles.

1. Plant feed: The plant feed suitable for yellow-headed side-necked turtle is cabbage, cabbage, zucchini, cabbage, cucumber, apple, banana, grape and so on. Although they prefer vegetables, breeders should be careful not to feed them lettuce and spinach.

2. Animal feed: Yellow-headed side-necked turtles are not interested in animal feed. Breeders can feed them a small amount of small fish, shrimp, red worms and other foods to ensure their adequate nutrition.

3. Synthetic feed: Synthetic feed has comprehensive nutrition, but it is not easy to digest, and its nutritional content is not particularly high. Although it can replace staple food for a short time, it cannot be fed for a long time.

The yellow-headed side-necked turtle can be fed once a day in its infancy, and it should be fed to full every time. Because most of them eat plant-based feed, there is no need to worry about indigestion. After they no longer develop, they can be fed once every two days. In addition, the frequency of feeding them can also be determined according to the water temperature. If the water temperature is too high, you can choose to feed them once a day. If the water temperature is low, the feeding frequency can be extended.
