Whether small snapping turtles should be fed every day or not should be judged according to their growth stage. If it is an immature crocodile turtle, it needs to be fed every day. Because they are in the golden stage of development, breeders can ensure that they can develop better only by ensuring adequate food and nutrition. Therefore, it is best to feed small crocodile turtles in childhood 1-2 times a day, and it is best to feed 80% full each time. When young snapping turtles become adults, their bodies will stop developing, and they will need less food and nutrition, and they will not need to be fed every day. Breeders only need to feed 2-3 times a week to meet their food needs.

Small snapping turtles are omnivorous animals. They are not picky about food, but they prefer animal feed, so it is best for breeders to feed them with animal feed as staple food. The animal feed suitable for small crocodile turtles is small fish, shrimp, red worms, earthworms, tadpoles, loaches and so on. In addition to animal feed, breeders can also feed them some plant feed, so as to ensure their balanced nutrition and sufficient trace elements in their bodies. The plant feed suitable for them to eat is aquatic plants, algae, cabbage, cucumber, carrot, apple, banana and so on.
