How do wild grass turtles eat and what food are good to feed

Natural eating: Although wild grass turtles are relatively bold, they can't eat immediately when they are bought home, because they will feel uncomfortable when they arrive in a new environment. Breeders can wait for them to adapt for about 3 days, put some food directly into the water, and let them eat by themselves. Stimulation: If grass turtles don't eat, they can tie the food to the fishing line and shake it back and forth in front of them to arouse their interest in food. But if the turtle is afraid, the breeder needs to stop immediately.

1. How do wild turtles start eating

1. Natural eating: Wild turtles are bolder and the success rate of natural eating is higher. After they adapt for a period of time, the breeder can put the food directly into the water, and some daring grass turtles begin to eat. When seeing the same kind eat, the less daring turtles will also eat.

2. Stimulate feeding: If the number of grass turtles is small or the courage of grass turtles is small, the breeder can tie the food to the fishing line and then shake the food back and forth in front of their eyes several times, which can stimulate their desire to prey and eat. However, if turtles are afraid to see these foods, the breeder needs to stop stimulating them.

2. What food is good for wild grass turtles to feed
