1. Animal feed: Crocodile turtles are omnivorous animals, and they can eat many kinds of food, but their favorite is animal feed.

2. How to feed crocodile turtles

The feeding method of crocodile turtles should be determined according to their growth stages. Generally speaking, crocodile turtles in infancy need to increase the feeding frequency, preferably once a day. We should also feed more animal feed, so as to ensure their adequate nutrition and promote their growth and development. When they mature, the feeding frequency can be reduced. It is ok to feed them once every 2-3 days, because their nutrient demand and digestion ability will decrease, and the food fed at this time is enough for their daily consumption.
