What do dead leaf turtles eat and how to feed them

Animal feed: Leaf tortoises are carnivorous animals, and usually feed on aquatic invertebrates and worms in the wild. When cultured artificially, you can choose to feed some small fish, shrimp, snails, earthworms, lean meat and other foods. Plant feed: Although they don't like plant feed, breeders need to feed a small amount of it. Synthetic feed: Breeders can also choose the special synthetic feed for dead leaf turtles, which is more convenient.

1. What do dead-leaf turtles eat

1. Animal feed: Dead-leaf turtles prefer animal feed. When they are in the wild, they prey on some aquatic invertebrates, shrimps, snails and worms. Artificial breeding of dead-leaf turtles can feed them small fish, shrimps, red worms, snails, tadpoles, lean meat, animal viscera and so on. These foods contain more nutrients, which can meet their nutritional needs.

2. Plant feed: Although dead-leaf turtles are not interested in plant feed, they need to be fed regularly when they are farmed artificially. Only in this way can they ensure their nutritional balance. Plant feeds suitable for them include cucumber, lettuce, cabbage, apples and so on.

3. Synthetic feed: If the breeder does not have enough time, he can also choose to feed with synthetic feed. However, synthetic feed is not easy to digest, so breeders need to pay attention to the amount of feeding. In addition, although the nutrition in synthetic feed is comprehensive, it is not sufficient, so it is best for breeders to feed it together with some animal feed.

2. How to feed the dead-leaf turtle

The frequency of feeding the dead-leaf turtle in its infancy can be higher, and it is best to feed more animal feed. When they mature, the frequency of feeding needs to be reduced. Some vegetables and fruits can also be added to animal feed, which can improve their resistance and immunity.
