How much small snapping turtles eat in a day is affected by many factors. Young crocodile turtles can be fed 10-15 grains of turtle food a day. If you want to feed other foods, you can decide according to their head size. Normally, the amount of food fed is two-thirds of the head size. After maturity, the appetite of small snapping turtles will increase, and the breeder needs to feed 15-25 turtle grains a day.

In addition to their size, they can be determined by temperature. If the water temperature is higher, more food can be fed. Because the water temperature is on the high side, their metabolism will also increase, so they should feed more food relatively. If the water temperature is relatively low, the food fed will be relatively reduced.

The feeding frequency of small snapping turtles can be determined according to their age. Generally speaking, the feeding frequency of young snapping turtles will be higher, and it is best to feed them twice a day until 80% full each time. Because the young crocodile turtles have a high demand for food and are at a critical stage of growth and development, breeders should feed them more food to ensure their adequate nutrition. As young snapping turtles become adults, their demand for food will decrease, and breeders only need to feed them 2-3 times a week. Because they stop developing in adulthood, the frequency and amount of feeding will decrease.
