1. Animal feed: The favorite food of pearl turtle is animal feed, which contains a lot of protein and fat, and can meet most of the nutrition needed in the process of their growth and development. The animal feed suitable for them to eat is small fish, shrimp, red worms, bread worms, lean meat, animal viscera, earthworms, snails, loaches and so on.
2. Plant feed: Although they are not particularly fond of plant feed, breeders should feed them regularly to ensure their nutritional balance. The plant feed suitable for them to eat is cabbage, rape, lettuce, water spinach, apples, grapes, bananas and so on.
3. Synthetic feed: After pearl turtle reaches adulthood, breeders can use synthetic feed as staple food. However, this kind of feed is not easy to digest, and breeders cannot feed it in large quantities. Moreover, the nutrients in this feed are not sufficient, so breeders should regularly match some animal feed to make them grow better.
2. How often do pearl turtles feedPearl turtles in infancy can be fed once a day. At this time, they have a large demand for food, but their digestive ability is weak. It is best for breeders to feed them several times in small quantities to ensure their adequate nutrition. When they become adults, the demand for food will decrease, and breeders only need to feed them once every 2-3 days.
