1. Feeding types: grass turtles have low requirements for food, and they can eat more kinds of food. At an early age, breeders can choose to feed with animal feed and plant feed, which can not only ensure their balanced nutrition, but also ensure adequate nutrition. The animal feed suitable for them to eat is small fish, shrimp, red worm, loach, tadpole, snail, etc. The plant feed suitable for them to eat is cabbage, rape, lettuce, cucumber, pumpkin, apple, banana and grape. Adult turtles like vegetarian food, so breeders can feed them more plant-based feed, which can enhance their immunity and resistance.

2. Feeding frequency: The feeding frequency of grass turtles is different at different stages. When young, grass turtles need to be fed once a day, because they don't eat much at this time, but they have a high demand for nutrition. When they are adults, they can choose to feed them once every 2-3 days, because their demand for nutrition will decrease, and their appetite will increase, so they can last longer when they are fed once.

3. Feeding amount: The feeding amount of grass turtles does not need to be too large, and the first feeding can be determined according to the size of their heads. Generally speaking, it is best to feed food according to two-thirds of the head. If you already have an approximate appetite, the breeder had better choose to feed 80% full.
