Some live baits are the favorite of chickpeas living in the wild. When they are in the wild, they mainly prey on some live baits such as small fish, shrimp, snails, earthworms, snails, shrimps, frogs and shellfish. Unless they are very hungry, they will eat some roots or wild fruits of aquatic plants. Checkbill turtles rest during the day and start to move at dusk. They all prey and eat in water. When eating, they will tear up the food with their jaws and forelimbs, and then swallow the food into their mouths with the help of the strength of their forelimbs.

chickpeas prefer meat, and they can feed more animal feed when farmed artificially. Animal feeds suitable for them include eel, loach, pork, freeze-dried insects, animal viscera and various beetles. Although they don't like plant-based feed, in order to ensure their balanced nutrition, breeders usually feed them more vegetables, fruits and other foods, so as to enhance their resistance and immunity.

In addition, their ability to swallow is not strong, so it is best for breeders to cut food into small pieces before feeding, so that they can swallow easily.
