There is no fixed amount of how much grass turtles eat in a day, because their growth stages and body shapes vary their appetite. Moreover, the food they eat is different in different feeding environments and feeding methods. If it is a young grass turtle, it is best to feed it once a day, and the amount of feeding at one time is two-thirds of their head size. If it is an adult grass turtle, it does not need to be fed every day. Feed it once every 2-3 days, and you can feed 100 grams each time. Breeders can also decide according to the size of their heads, or feed 4%-7% of their body weight.

In addition, their appetite is different at different temperatures, and when the water temperature is lower, their appetite will also decrease. When the water temperature is on the high side, their metabolism will also increase, so they need to feed more food. In addition, different foods are fed in different amounts. If it is turtle food, it needs to be fed less, because this kind of food is not easy to digest. If it is vegetables, fruits, etc., you can feed more, because there is more cellulose in these foods, which can promote digestion.

There are many kinds of foods that grass turtles can eat. In their infancy, they can eat some small fish, shrimp, loach, snail, tadpole, earthworm, lean meat, animal viscera and other foods. Adults can eat some vegetables, fruits, algae and other foods.
