1. What aquatic plants do grass turtles eat grass turtles are omnivorous turtles. When they are in the wild, food is scarce, so they like to eat the roots of some plants. Common aquatic plants such as Copper Money Grass, Pteris vittata, Duckweed, Duckweed, Water Hyacinth and Water Money are all their favorite. Especially, the feeding habits of grass turtles in adulthood will gradually become vegetarian, and aquatic plants will become their main food.
It is best not to plant aquatic plants, especially aquatic plants, when breeding grass turtles artificially. Because they have the habit of eating plant roots, sometimes they will eat aquatic plants even if there is enough food, so it is best for breeders to choose bare tanks.
2. What other foods do grass turtles eatAs mentioned above, grass turtles eat more miscellaneous foods and can eat more kinds of foods. Besides aquatic plants, they also like to eat some live bait. Common ones are small fish, shrimp, loach, tadpoles, earthworms, snails, snails, etc. These foods contain high protein and fat, which is of great help to their growth and development. In addition, they also prefer to eat some aquatic plants, algae, plant roots and grain seeds.
For artificially cultured grass turtles, more lean meat, animal viscera, small fish, shrimp and other foods can be fed, which can ensure their adequate nutrition. In addition, it is necessary to match some plant feeds, such as cabbage, rape, apples, bananas, grapes, etc., which can supplement vitamins and trace elements to enhance their resistance and immunity.
