The feeding frequency of yellow-headed turtles is different at different stages. Under normal circumstances, the feeding frequency of yellow-headed turtles in infancy needs to be higher, which can be fed once or twice a day. Because they are vegetarian turtles and like to eat some digestible foods such as vegetables and fruits, the feeding frequency should be higher.

When they mature, the feeding frequency can be lower, about once every two days. Because at this time, their appetite will become larger, and they can also eat some small fish, shrimp and other foods, so they don't need to feed frequently.

As mentioned above, yellow-headed turtles are omnivorous animals, but they tend to be vegetarian, so it is best for breeders to feed according to their habits.

The plant feeds suitable for them are cabbage, rape, spinach, cucumber, pumpkin, wax gourd, apple, banana, grape and so on. Although they prefer to eat these vegetables, fruits and other foods, it is best for breeders to match them with some small fish, shrimp, meat and other foods, which can accelerate their growth and development. In addition, breeders can also mix them with some synthetic feed, which can ensure their nutritional balance.
