Pearl turtles feed once every few days depending on their stage. Generally speaking, the feeding frequency of young turtles needs to be higher, because they have a large demand for food, and they are in a critical period of growth and development. Breeders need to feed them more food to ensure their adequate nutrition. When pearl turtles are adults, the frequency of feeding will be reduced, and it is OK to feed them once every 2-3 days. As adults, their demand for food will decrease, and their digestion will also decrease, so the frequency of feeding needs to be reduced.
